As overwhelming demand for new or renewed passports leave travelers scrambling ahead of their international travel plans, third party companies have come into play.

Denver is a budget-friendly destination when compared to its Rocky Mountain neighbors like Aspen and Vail (and especially so when compared to much bigger metro areas like New York and Los Angeles).

Answering the decades-long call of Native American tribes and environmentalists alike, President Joe Biden earlier this week created a new national monument buffering parts of Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona.

Summer is prime vacation time, whether you find yourself jetting off to another continent to explore some of the world’s most beautiful cities or taking a road trip a little closer to home.

One of the most visited national parks in the US is the Grand Canyon National Park, with nearly five million visitors per year. Of those millions of tourists, only about five percent dip below the rim and broaden their exploration. Further, of the five percent that hike below the rim, only about ten percent actually make it to the Colorado River.
