Mount Ida may be small, with an economy built around ranching, farming, and tourism centered around the nearby Lake Ouachita, but it holds a distinction few places on Earth can claim. It is home to one of the world's richest deposits of quartz crystal, earning the nickname, the 'Quartz Crystal Capital of the World.'

Deer Valley's expansion may be the largest ski area expansion in history. Prior to the expansion, Deer Valley was the 15th largest resort in the United States, boasting over 2,000 acres. The expansion, aptly named "Expanded Excellence," more than doubled Deer Valley's size, bringing the total to 5,700 skiable acres.

The hot springs at Quinn's are valued for their mineral content and are considered "Silica Springs" due to the high concentration of silica, a mineral used in skincare that is said to improve skin texture, support collagen production, and promote elasticity. The natural mineral water also has high levels of sodium, which helps maintain blood pressure levels, and sulfate, which is said to help rid the body of toxins and promote healthy hair, skin, and nails.

Mt. Baker is the PNW's snow vacuum. It's close enough to the Pacific to get storm after storm, and the North Cascades do what they do best: force moist air straight up, wring it out, and bury everything in sight. Maritime storms roll in wet and heavy, then pile up fast when they hit terrain.

The Guest Cabin at Wondernut Farm, Big Oak Flat Wondernut Farm's quaint one-room cabin (Courtesy of Nic Castellanos via Hipcamp) Overlooking the property owners' 115-year-old barn and garden, the guest cabin at Wondernut Farm is, perhaps, the perfect minimalist retreat for those seeking a bit of respite from our electronic devices. Glampers who choose to spend an evening or more underneath the tin steel roofed cabin can expect a cacophony of chorused musings to help wake them up everyday.

Part of Hot Springs National Park, downtown Hot Springs' Bathhouse Row is a collection of historic neoclassical and Spanish-style buildings that now serve as attractions, visitor centers, and historic sites. But one bathhouse has operated continuously since 1912, making it the town's longest-running facility. Equipped with steam cabinets, whirlpool tubs, and massage therapists, Buckstaff Bathhouse offers separate floors for men and women, and its no-reservation policy for baths and massages works in favor of travelers who want to take a spontaneous trip

Just 10 miles south of Yellowstone, this incredible national park is home to beautiful sights, breathtaking nature, and some great hotels and vacation rentals to boot. As a local, I've visited Grand Teton National Park countless times, and I've spent just as many nights camping in a tent in the park as I have in one of the wonderful accommodations nearby.

Whitetail Resort is located in Central Pennsylvania and is a legit hidden gem for skiers and snowboarders in the mid-Atlantic region. This ski resort gets seriously underestimated by many. I was travelling from one resort to another, and Whitetail was on the way to my next destination. I almost didn't go because I was on the road for two weeks straight, but I'm so glad I did-it's way better than I expected.

Stretching roughly 23 miles, Lake LBJ is a constant-level lake fed by the Colorado River, offering a markedly different experience from its flashier neighbor to the east. While Austin's Lake Travis has earned a reputation as a party hub, Lake LBJ feels like its calmer, more refined counterpart-unhurried, scenic, and refreshingly serene. From the water, the views unfold effortlessly: sunlight glinting off the water's surface, shoreline homes tucked among the hills, and quiet coves that invite you to slow down. A boat tour makes it easy to take it all in-no effort required beyond sitting back, relaxing, and enjoying the view.

After four stays-and countless drop-ins for an après moment-it's the hotel I trust most, delivering frictionless days on and off the slopes. Welcome to Rebooked, Condé Nast Traveler's new column where we share the properties our editors and contributors loved so much, they've booked them over and over (and over!) again. Travel journalists have their pick of the litter-so you know these are something special.

Tucked into northwest Arkansas ' Ozark Mountains, Eureka Springs is a place where contradictions don't just coexist, they define the destination. It's a Victorian-era spa town and a paranormal hotspot, a biker mecca and a proudly LGBTQ+ enclave nicknamed "the gayest small town in America." In the Ozarks, "the place where misfits fit," Eureka Springs wears that identity especially well, drawing artists, nature lovers, and free spirits of all kinds for over a century.

60 new mountain modern homes will be located inside of a gated community just 90 miles north of Boise, Idaho. Tamarack is currently in Phase 1 of sales, with the first residences available being 16 townhomes ranging from 1,975 to 2,255 square feet with two to four bedrooms. The townhomes will start at $1.5 million. The residences, built by Alturas Homes, feature an open living concept, with large glass windows and will have views of both the surrounding mountains and Lake Cascade.

The water bubbles up hot from the earth and sunlight filters down through the branches of mighty oaks. But before you can soak in Santa Barbara County's highly popular Montecito Hot Springs, you'll need to hike a little over a mile uphill, threading your way among boulders, oaks and a meandering creek. And before the hike, there are two other crucial steps: getting to the trailhead and knowing what to expect.

Glacier Park International Airport sits about 15 minutes from Whitefish proper, and offers direct flights from several hubs across the western United States and select Midwestern cities. My flight from Portland, Oregon took less time than it would have taken to get to Mount Hood. The drive from downtown Whitefish to the resort is less than 15 minutes. For travelers who prefer rails to runways, Amtrak's Empire Builder stops right in downtown Whitefish.
