It’s not everyday that you get to be two places at once.

Here’s how you can hike across state lines when you take this gorgeous mountain trail:...

One of the most fun innovations of the past few years has been pedal taverns: large, moving bars on wheels that groups can rent out to travel throughout a city, stopping at bars and breweries along the way.

The paddle tavern is a small boat that looks like a miniature of the grand paddle boats that used to move up and down the Mississippi River....

Many of us grow up dreaming of horses – their majesty and power is hard to deny, and there’s something about the connection between a human and their horse that seems absolutely transcendent.

You can reconnect with that dream right here in New Hampshire with one of these epic equine adventures....

It’s been a hot summer in Minnesota this year. What better way to cool off than by taking a refreshing dip in one of the state’s many rivers? There are plenty of great spots to take your own tube and float down the river, but why not make it easy on yourself and rent a tube from one of Minnesota’s many river outfitters?

Who can resist the charm of a cute little baby goat? What about a herd (sometimes called a tribe) of them? Not us… baby goats are as cute as cuddly kittens or playful puppies. And we can’t think of a better way to spend the afternoon this holiday season than at a farm featuring baby goats posing for holiday photos with Santa. Yes, you read that correctly. Santa with goats is a real thing and it really takes the stiffness out of those photos you can take with Santa in the mall — or any department store, for that matter....

We can all agree that Maine is one of the best places in the country to be outside. Glorious forests, deep blue lakes, and skies that pour down bright blue sunshine. Well, most of the time. Even when mother nature isn’t cooperating Maine outdoors will soothe our soul and remind you why taking some time to recharge with friends and family is so vital. Camping is a great way to do this, but if you’re not a fan of sleeping on the ground, a night outside might not be for you....

Nothing is more iconic to West Virginia than Tudor’s Biscuit World. Biscuits are a staple of the West Virginia diet and when biscuits aren’t made from scratch by Mom or Dad, they are made the same way at Tudor’s. Tudor’s Biscuit World was first created in 1980 by Bill and Mae Tudor, along with their son, John Tudor. The first location was on Washington Street in Charleston, but slowly grew from there....

Wintertime in Tennessee tends to be a subject of popular interest, especially when autumn starts to bleed into the chilly beginnings of the darker months. Should we be investing in snowshoes or umbrellas? Will there be a polar vortex like in 2015, or will flowers bloom straight through the season? The south likes to throw a wrench in common seasonal tropes, and this year is no different. The results are in, and our winter may look a bit less white in 2018…...

Eating outside is one of the best parts of summer. It adds a bit of nature to our sweltering seasons and provides a bite of deliciousness despite the heat and humidity.
