Travel in state Washington

Someone once told me every life boils down to five major decisions —five moments when the direction we step dictates the path we'll travel until the next juncture. If it's true, I made one of those decisions in 2015 in the western reaches of Washington State. I was 33 years old and had just summitted Mount Rainier, the first glaciated peak I'd ever climbed and the most adventurous thing I'd ever done.

A winter storm moving east through the Mid-Atlantic region brought snow, icy roads and frigid temperatures on Monday to millions of people returning to daily routines after the two-week Christmas holiday period. In addition to snow days and closed offices, the storm also interrupted travel across parts of the country with delayed and canceled trains and airplanes.

There's nothing like hitting the open road, but there's nothing quite like being at home either. Thankfully, when you travel by RV, you can get the best of both worlds — and the ability to change your plans without having to worry about hotel or plane rescheduling fees.

My friend Michelle and I took turns following each other as we skied through stands of snow- and rime-coated subalpine fir. It had been three days since the last snowfall, but on this frigid January day at Schweitzer, in Idaho’s panhandle, we still found soft, untracked powder. It was delightful, but not a surprise.

I'd spent years as an executive in Southern California, and I had a retirement plan in place for quite some time.

In the past year, I spent time in three of America's most popular Bavarian-inspired towns: Frankenmuth, Michigan; Helen, Georgia; and Leavenworth, Washington.

Somewhere near Meadow Grove, Neb., biking on a particularly gusty section of the Cowboy Recreation and Nature Trail, Alex Duryea offered a new way to consider the landscape of wide open cornfields we’d been pedaling through for hours.

Fern Canyon, deep within Northern California’s Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, is a rare natural marvel — but not one that has escaped attention from travelers in recent years. Though it’s at the end of a long rutted road in Humboldt County’s coastal wilderness, the narrow gorge is so popular with hikers that the park introduced a permit system in 2022, requiring anyone who wants to access the road to the canyon to apply online for one of 150 Fern Canyon passes.
