"Our heritage is rooted in building gear for people who live and thrive in the mountains, and that includes our own team. Many of us ride; our athletes ride. Mountain biking is part of our culture," Ashley Anson, VP Design at Arc'teryx, said.

San Sebastián, the capital of La Gomera, served as Christopher Columbus's provisioning point in 1492, with historical sites like the Columbus House Museum and Torre del Conde nearby.

Sammy, a three-and-a-half-foot-long ball python, is beautiful with deep brown and gold patches. His skin is cool and smooth, providing a unique experience during yoga.

"You don't wind up here by accident; you come here for a reason, and that reason is typically the abundant outdoor adventures and natural resources we have," Nathan Miller, the former executive director of the Copper Harbor Trails Club, told Travel + Leisure.

Instead of trying to trick the public with some humorous fake news, the ski area set up small obstacle courses in the lift lines, forcing skiers and snowboarders to put in a little bit more effort to get on the slopes.

Vilanculos is predominantly used as a jumping-off point for the archipelago, just a 10-minute helicopter transfer away, or 20-60 minutes by boat.

Three Falls State Park is centered around three waterfalls, including the 128-foot Frontenac Falls, which cascades down through a wooded gorge before meeting the lake.

Shoreline Lake, in Mountain View, is holding its third annual Sail-A-Dinghy-Day on Sunday, April 12th, from 10am to 4pm. Visitors to "Silicon Valley's best kept secret" will get access to free skippered sailboat rides, helmed by the Boathouse's experienced instructors, as well as other Welcome-to-Sailing activities.

Abiqua Falls is a stunning 92-foot waterfall that tumbles over a wall of columnar basalt into a wide pool, perfect for swimming. The surrounding area features a pebbled beach that provides breathtaking views of the falls and lush greenery.

For 2025, there was good news and bad news: overall, these areas were visited 323 million times over the course of the year. That's the good news; the bad news is that this figure was down ever so slightly - specifically, 2.7% - from a record-setting 2024.

I'd been on the island for less than a week when I opened my glove box looking for sunglasses, only to find the wrapper of my emergency granola bar torn open and the corner nibbled, right next to a neat little pile of mouse droppings. As I inspected the rest of the car, I was mortified to realize it was likely more than a single mouse. I texted the friend I was housesitting for in disbelief. "Ugh, I'm sorry! That's so island," she wrote back.

Not only do we have an amazing trail with 10 waterfalls (four of which you can walk behind), but it's a great place to see and learn about plants and wildlife. We also have several historic buildings that are open to the public-all built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s and 1940s.

The idea that hiking trails are a tool for conservation is based on a simple premise: people protect what they know. That requires making conservation areas accessible. There's no point telling people you only protect what you know, if you don't give them the tools to know. The trail is this tool. People who hike, people who camp, these people often become defenders of the environment.

Seven years of development allowed Openspace Architecture and landscape designer Paul Sangha Creative to thread a 10,000-square-foot single-story home through mature forest without sacrificing the canopy that defines the site's character - a constraint that ultimately generated the building's gently curving plan and its sequence of connected spaces opening to Saanich Inlet views. The design draws from mid-century West Coast Modernism's timber traditions while incorporating Japanese structural principles that extend beyond aesthetic reference.

Located just 15-20 minutes from downtown Banff, the adventure begins at the Gondola Base. Eight passengers at a time ascend 1,650 vertical feet over roughly three miles in about 20 minutes. Along the way are stunning views in every direction. There are three stations along the way - a mid-line directional change, the Goat's Eye offload, and finally the upper village terminal.

Growing up in the midsize city of Vancouver, Canada, I always dreamed of living in a big metropolis - a cultural hub where something was always going on, with endless places to explore. For a while, I did. When I started dating a Brit, I moved to his hometown of Birmingham, England, the second-largest city in the UK population-wise, with over a million residents.

Last night I had a dream and you were in it, and I was in it with you. I was doing the packing I never did. Not sure how it started, that's how dreams go. But I was nervous that you might show up. Just like you were nervous I'd be there. Eventually you did show up, but your head was buzzed and dyed orange.

Picture yourself standing on a small platform in the middle of a Quebec forest, balancing on what feels like an oversized bird perch. The moment your weight settles, something magical happens. A bird call rings out, blending seamlessly into an ethereal soundtrack that seems to rise from the forest itself. Welcome to Human Perches, the latest installation from Montreal design studio Daily tous les jours that's making us rethink how we experience nature.

Step inside Don't Tell Dad and you're immediately greeted by a warm, low-lit vintage atmosphere. When we arrived, a funky soundtrack was drifting over dark wood floors, while super-comfy olive-green velvet banquettes, booths, and bar stools offered a front-row view of the kitchen in action. Wood panels with coloured glass windows, marble-topped tables set with linen napkins, and vintage cutlery and candle holders hint at 1930s Art Deco elegance, while oval mirrors and playful statement lighting reinforce the space's French bistro vibes.

Join us for Tai Chi this Sunday! 10am at Judah and Great Highway Park This monthly course is for beginners and experienced students of tai chi alike. Plus, coffee is on us at @javabeachsf after the course. As a reminder, Sundays at the Beach is a year-long program of weekly events possible thanks to a grant award from @avenuegreenlight. Our friends at @sunsetchineseculturaldistrict helped us make the Tai Chi program come to life! See you on Sundays!

We are all familiar with the idea of a library. You go, check out a book, read said book, and return the book when you are done. Yes, there is a bit more mixed in there, such as attaining a library card, due dates, and late fees, but I'm sure you get the general idea. We all know how libraries work.

Conditions delivered a glimpse of for what Fernie is known. Soft snow lingered across much of the mountain, especially on shaded aspects and in the trees, where cold temperatures preserved quality turns and wind pushed snow into healthy pockets. Visibility fluctuated at times, but when the clouds lifted, the terrain revealed itself in layers-bowls feeding into glades, ridgelines spilling into natural halfpipes, and sustained fall lines that can keep a rider's legs burning.

The best places to visit in May take advantage of that elusive window of perfect weather as spring turns to summer, when it's not too hot and it's not too cold-all you need is a light jacket. That frees up essential space in our carry-ons (big puffy jackets and thermal leggings can stay home, finally), creating more room for souvenirs from wherever we may go.
