Maryland’s nautical city offers boat tours, sailing courses and paddling through scenic tributaries. The largest group of freshwater lakes on earth, AMERICA’S GREAT LAKES – Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario – are a magnet for nature lovers, who can cycle, canoe, kayak or cruise their shores, inlets and islands. HIT AN EPIC TRAIL The Appalachian Trail stretches across 14 states, from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine. ‘Thru-hikers’ take five to seven months to walk its 2,200-mile length, but dip in for a day to get a taste of one of the world’s most epic hiking routes. STRIKE GOLD IN THE SIERRA NEVADA American history and nature combine in California’s Tuolumne County. Gold Rush towns like Groveland provide friendly hotels and hearty meals after a day exploring tranquil Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in Yosemite National Park, or hiking and skiing in the High Sierra. The rush to strike gold may be over but Tuolumne’s natural treasures remain. SEE AN OLYMPIC CHAMP With glacier-topped mountains and 70 miles of rocky coastline and sandy bays, Washington State’s Olympic National Park is a million-acre wilderness. Look out for sea otters, seals and whales in the marine sanctuary protecting the Pacific waters offshore, while bears, elk and cougars roam the slopes above. A MONUMENTAL JOURNEY An iconic symbol of the American West, the sandstone towers that are scattered across Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park have loomed large in many Hollywood films. Feature them in your very own show with a guided jeep tour from a Navajo guide, or enjoy a cosmic talk about the constellations under a twinkling night sky.
