The Channel Islands are an archipelago of 8 islands in the Santa Barbara Channel, 5 of which were designated the Channel Islands National Park in 1980. Ferry service is available from Ventura Harbor and takes you on an enjoyable 1-2 hour ride through the Santa Barbara Channel—a literal playground for schools of marine life including California sea lions, harbor seals, common and bottlenose dolphins and various species of whales such as humpbacks and blue and grey whales, depending on the season. Channel Islands National Park is comprised of 5 islands: Santa Barbara Island, San Miguel Island, Santa Rosa Island, Santa Cruz Island and Anacapa Island. The second largest island in Channel Islands National Park, Santa Rosa is a popular island and easily accessible by ferry.

You’re able to more conveniently preserve a wine for a longer period of time and have it on a casual basis,” says Herb Quady, owner of Quady North in Jacksonville. Other popular boxed wines include Evolution, made by Sokol Blosser, and a farmhouse red by David Hill Winery in Forest Grove.

The National Park Service controls the recreation and protection of 4 areas: Redwood National Park, Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. Over 90% of the old-growth redwoods that grew along California’s northern coast were logged in the early 1900s prior to protection of this area. Walk amongst the giant trees at Big Tree Wayside Located right off Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway in nearby Prairie Creek State Park, this short, flat walk takes visitors to “Big Tree”, a 1,500 year old, nearly 300 foot tall redwood. The family-friendly hike at Trillium Falls in Redwood National Park takes you through old-growth redwoods, ferns, fir trees, maples, and trillium flowers to a small waterfall deep in the forest.

Also, remember to bring your face covering, required for all of Oregon’s public indoor spaces and outdoors when keeping 6 feet of distance isn’t possible. The next time you’re tackling a new recipe and run across a special ingredient, don’t fret: You can find ingredients like chestnut, oyster and shiitake mushrooms from Rain Forest Mushrooms in Eddyville or milled corn flour and Buckskin Tepary beans from Dunbar Farms in Medford. High-quality, locally sourced ingredients are an essential part of Oregon’s identity, and now you can find those suppliers all in one place from the comfort of your own home. With a few clicks, you can see the diversity of products available from Oregon farms, fisheries, ranches and orchards, as well as farmers markets, roadside farm stands and farms with U-pick offerings.

Just 9 miles from the lodge, Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort offers year-round fun at an altitude of 8,000 feet. Situated on the edge of the no-stoplight town of Westfir, a town near Oakridge, the Westfir Lodge & Mountain Market is a quaint lodge built in 1925 brimming with flowery wallpaper and intricately carved wooden decor. Experience the thrill of the forest trails with a guided, shuttle-assisted tour from Cog Wild, which picks up participants at the local rental shop, Willamette Mountain Mercantile. Show your love to Rogue Valley’s winemakers along the self-guided Bear Creek Wine Trail, which includes more than a dozen tasting rooms with scenic outdoor patios in the Jacksonville, Medford, Phoenix, Talent and Ashland areas.

If your ideal day includes chilling out on a sun lounger by the beach (Kuta Beach is one of our favorite things to do in Bali), getting a $5 massage before heading out to the bars, and dancing the night away, Kuta could be the perfect place for you to stay. It’s the ideal area for a surfer’s getaway, a lover’s retreat, or a beach bum’s break. Nusa Dua is For: Family Trips, Luxury Resorts, and All the Wining and Dining Nusa Dua, feeling a world away from all of the hustle and bustle happening on the West Coast, is the perfect vacation spot for those looking to indulge in a bit of full-service luxury, and for those dreaming of that quintessential family holiday. Think a little town full of world-class resorts featuring private white sand beaches (home to Gunung Payung: one of the best beaches in Bali) with a calm ocean perfect for swimming, perfectly manicured acres of gardens, water-sports of all kinds, and fine dining overlooking the ocean.

Salishan Coastal Lodge in quiet Gleneden Beach, on Oregon’s Central Coast, is a short two-hour drive from Portland along Highway 18, a few miles from the bustle of Lincoln City. You’ll know you’re close when you see the shops and hotels give way to the tranquil beauty of the Siletz River and Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge, which is full of wetland trails for hiking and marshy waterways for paddling. During low tide there’s plenty of space to toss a Frisbee, fly a kite or try your hand at a fat-bike adventure (look into renting one at Safari Town Surf, 8 miles north in Lincoln City). Make sure to catch the spectacular sunset — from either the lodge or the beach, or head just north of Siletz Bay, a 4-mile drive to Lincoln City’s historic Taft District, for another stunning viewpoint.

Meanwhile, Central California has a stretch of sunny recreational areas situated along a similar latitude, from Sequoia and Kings Canyon to Pinnacle and Death Valley National Parks, all within reach of Yosemite. There can be nothing in the world more beautiful than the Yosemite, the groves of the giant sequoias and redwoods, the Canyon of the Colorado, the Canyon of the Yellowstone, the Three Tetons; and our people should see to it that they are preserved for their children and their children’s children forever, with their majestic beauty all unmarred.” Yosemite National Park topped that list—and is the most-visited national park in California—for good reason. This is no paradisiacal Yosemite and you won’t find any massive redwoods, but that doesn’t mean the rugged desert and its salt flats—like Badwater Basin, which boasts the lowest point in North America below sea level—don’t offer otherworldly views with vibrant colors. A Joshua Tree, the namesake of one of California’s most-visited national parks, isn’t a tree per say, but in fact a rather fragile but tough-looking yucca.

Let’s not forget in-room amenities either, with Wi-Fi, TV, an indoor fireplace, a washer/dryer, and air-conditioning all available. In terms of spaces available to you, the house comes with a living room, study, well-equipped kitchen, laundry room, and two full bathrooms. Beyond your private room, guests have access to the house’s shared bathroom, the dining room, kitchen, and laundry room. But the house as a whole has plenty of room, with an inviting living room, cozy sunroom, dining room, kitchen, and 1.5 bathrooms.

Munich isn’t a city that’s known for being budget-friendly, but a great cheap option in town is the Euro Youth Hostel Munich. The guide should not only take you to the city’s most obvious attractions, it should take you to different parts of the city and expose you to the many different sides of Munich. This square has always been the very epicenter of life in Munich which is why you’ll find many of the city’s historical landmarks close by. Although the name of the Deutsches Museum might have you thinking it’s a museum on all things Germany, this is actually Munich’s fantastic museum of science and technology.
