High On A Mountain Top In British Columbia

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

With a total land area of nearly 360,000 square miles, and most of it rugged alpine country, hiking tours of British Columbia are plentiful and diverse. British Columbia also has a population density of fewer than five residents per square kilometer as most of the province’s 4.5 million inhabitants live in the metro areas of Vancouver and Victoria.  With this sort of open space, you will locate solitude and natural vistas that in many places have been seldom explored on foot by Europeans and a clear understanding of B.C.’s motto, “Splendor Without Diminishment”.

Canada’s department of ecology, Environment Canada, has categorized British Columbia into six distinct ecological zones, each of which provides hikers a unique experience. Of course, as hiking and other forms of outdoor recreation has gained in popularity, so have the amount of vacation rentals and Canada romantic getaways through the province. Lodgings at a scope of prices from as low as $24 (CDN) per night may be located in even the most out-of-the-way vacation destinations.

If you are interested in an all inclusive resort that is truly a pampering experience, consider Cathedral Lakes Lodge near Penticton in south-central British Columbia.  Hiking trails at 7000 foot elevations can take you to any one of seven unspoiled mountain lakes where the trout fishing is superb.

Ecotourism is just one appealing hiking opportunity that is broadly available in British Columbia. These are tours, frequently taken on foot, in which people have the chance to travel to a number of the more ecologically susceptible regions including the coastal temperate rainforests that stretch from the Alaskan panhandle to northern California and the delicate sub-arctic taiga and boreal plains.

Sponsored by the province’s municipal governments and non-profit organizations, these ecotours are handled in a fashion so that individuals leave a minimal footprint on the region while having a chance to enjoy local flora and fauna in a natural state. Because so much of British Columbia is unspoiled by people, hikers will have a chance to see many types of wildlife that have become rare in the more heavily populated U.S.

If you are looking for a change from hiking in British Columbia’s picturesque mountain country from one of the region’s cabin rental accommodations, you should also take into account agritourism. As is the case in Washington and Oregon to the south, British Columbia is an important agricultural center, particularly in the southern and eastern segments of the province.  Agritours give hikers a chance to see and even take part in the workings of green farms in a few of Canada’s most diverse farmlands.
 

Nothing Lovlier Than A Desert Moon

Monday, August 30th, 2010

It appeared unlikely 125 years ago when an attorney from San Francisco named J.G. McCallum decided to trade his home in the refreshing, damp, hazy Bay Area for a new one in the Mojave Desert, but the communities of Palm Springs and nearby Palm Desert are two of the most loved and fastest developing spots in Southern California today.  Home to desert golf courses and convenient to historic Death Valley, Palm Springs and Palm Desert offer infinite opportunities to the public and presently, there are some hot travel deals as well.

For example, today visitors can get great bed breakfasts. In addition, there are many activities for the family that are inexpensive, and in a lot of cases, are free. Folks who are interested in outdoor activities, such as discovering colorful native desert plants and the local ecology will find enough to engage them for weeks, if not months. Palm Desert has also developed a flourishing arts community, which is continually shown throughout the year.

Human presence in the Palm Desert-Palm Springs area dates back at least to the mid-1600s, and possibly as far back as 1500. The first people to live there were the Cahuilla Indians.  The Cahuilla Nation is still the principal landowner in the Coachella Valley. In the 1890s, the federal government divided the land between the Cahuilla Indians and the Southern Pacific Railroad, the latter as an incentive for progress.

Since the late 1940s, when the earliest commercial real estate development was started, Palm Desert has been visited by celebrities that over the decades have included Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Bob Hope. Palm Springs took a little more time to catch up.  It was practically a ghost town until the early 1970s, but is nowadays a year round vacation destination with numerous cabin rental accommodations.

Because of its cloudless climate, with over 350 days of sun every year and a mere 5 inches of annual rain, golfing is one of the main activities in the area.  Many resorts in the area are providing golf rental deals for the summer.  Based on the day of the week and tee times, green fees start at under $20.

Of course, just because its summer vacation does not mean the kids have to stop learning. Palm Springs is also home to the Moorten Botanical Garden and Cactarium, which has exhibits of desert fauna and flora from all over the world.

Visitors will also like the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway in which you and your family can travel from the Southwest desert to the Arctic tundra in what was once a hike that took many hours in under ten minutes. At the top of the San Jacinto Mountains, visitors will find miles of hiking trails, lofty views of 200 miles in all directions and even an opportunity to ride a burro. Afterwards, folks can refresh themselves at one of the two delectable restaurants at Mountain Station.

On The Road Again In Pennsylvania

Friday, August 27th, 2010

The beauty of New England in the fall is legendary, but the roads can get a bit crowded that time of year. However, did you know that Pennsylvania has the same romantic landscape along its rural highways and those roads typically have less traffic? You could spend your whole life exploring just the rural Pennsylvania countryside by car, and the rustic landscape is perfect anytime of the year for a retreat with that special someone.

One of the first places you run across travelling westward out of Philadelphia is Lancaster County and the Amish Country, and there’s no shortage of info on seeing these friendly individuals and their farms but the Pennsylvania Dutch country has a great deal more, including the Dutch Wonderland Theme Park and the American Music Theater. Beautiful historic romantic travel inns are all throughout this colorful area. 

One thing is sure, you will not have any trouble booking vacation cabin rentals, since Lancaster County has an abundant source of vacation rentals ranging from rustic to deluxe at the area’s numerous fine inns.  For a different kind of romantic experience, check out Mechanicsburg. Nestled just north of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, this historic community offers a variety of activities that will appeal to him as well as her.

For him, there’s the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing, which features exhibits of fully restored race cars from the earliest days of competitive road racing as well as other displays.  Afterwards, she will love a day at the Revalations Day Spa, which offers not only lodging but also a hot springs, massage, and mud bath for couples.

Halfway between Philadelphia and Lancaster is Chester County, which includes most of Pennsylvania’s rustic Brandywine Valley. The individuals who reside here have been steadfast about shielding their historic heritage. As a result, as you drive through the vicinity, you will come across a number of quaint small towns that date back 250 years and more. Deciduous forests, rolling pasturelands, covered bridges over brooks and streams and more await your discovery.

More active couples who really want to see Pennsylvania should check out the Allegheny Passage C&O Passage, which offers over 300 miles of off-road cycling paths winding from Pittsburgh all the way across the Keystone State and into Washington D.C. This is another part of a budding network of old rail lines that are being modified into bicycling and hiking trials that are relatively level and hard-packed with crushed limestone and gravel. For couples who are on the go and have the time, there’s no better or more unhurried way to view the romantic Pennsylvania countryside.

If you are like me then you probably love the open water. In the summertime everyone enjoys rafting one of the many rivers or creeks. You can find a guide or bring your own floating device and find that special place to put in.

One of the most enjoyable times of year to travel to Ellijay Georgia is the fall. The autumn leaves are unforgettable. Be sure to visit the Scenic Railway in Blue Ridge during your trip.
