Walk With Travel + Leisure

Telluride, Colorado is truly a one-of-a-kind destination. Check out the site of Butch Cassidy’s first bank robbery, visit one of the oldest bars in the (Wild) West, take a ride on North America’s only public transit gondola system, then go helicopter skiing (aka heli-skiing) in the San Juan Mountains. Like we said, there’s no place quite like it. It’s one of the best ski towns in the world AND it has one of the most picturesque, well-preserved main streets in the world – an incredible, unique combination of modern-day adventure and bygone Western history.

Santa Barbara is the gateway to one of the most unique and cutting edge wine regions in America, and the city's attractions aptly express all of that off-beat innovation happening out there in the wineries. An area of town called the Funk Zone is home to some engaging street art (it's the only neighborhood where you can legally tag) and some of the trendiest food and wine tastings in town. We walked around in that gorgeous Cali sunshine to try some of the best wines and chocolates this city has to offer.

If you think Southern California doesn’t have much to offer when it comes to wine, you’ve never visited the Temecula Valley. Just because Joshua Tree National Park (and the desert) is nearby doesn’t mean that famed California sunshine can’t grow delectable wine in this cozy valley’s decomposed granite terroir. We tasted, blended, and adored the best offerings from this region's winegrowers. But vines aren’t the only things that grow wonderfully in the valley; olive trees love the Mediterranean climate, and that makes for some of the best locally made olive oils and extracts you can find. Next time you are in SoCal, don’t neglect to tour this hidden gem of the wine world.

Experience the great outdoors in the picturesque mountain town of Canmore. Situated in the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, this destination is one of the best places to visit in Alberta, Canada. What to do during your trip? First things first, explore the many scenic trails taking you through the awe-inspiring landscape; it’s the perfect place to enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and climbing. When you’re ready to warm up indoors, enjoy a beer or handcrafted soda at the Grizzly Paw Brewery, a town staple, and wind down with a walk on Main Street.

Sensei Lānaʻi, A Four Seasons Resort, is a luxurious wellness retreat in the heart of paradise. The experience weaves together the three interconnected paths of movement, nourishment, and rest in an approach carefully developed by scientists across the globe. Miss Hawaii 2021, Allison Chu, guides you through its gorgeous hikes and beautiful gardens, as well as a world-class spa experience best described as ‘pure bliss.’ Plus, enjoy locally-sourced food made in collaboration with none other than world-renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa.

Madeira may be best known for its eponymous wine, but this Portuguese island also features stunning scenic views, incredible locally-sourced food, and unforgettable activities. Join Bree Green for a tour of its must-see spots like one of the island’s most famous attractions, the Monte Toboggan, an exciting downhill ride in a wicker sledge. Plus, discover the best places to eat and where to go for those dreamy ocean views. Looking for more things to do?
