In the center of West Virginia is small-town Buckhannon. Small, as in the local population and how quickly you can get around, but not to be confused with a boring po-dunk town. To West Virginia, Buckhannon is known as a vibrant downtown with loads of atmosphere. There’s an emerging arts district with public art popping up in unexpected places and, surprisingly, a number of options for top- quality food joints. Buckhannon’s Main Street pumps with atmosphere – downtown shoppes line the street with colorful flags, and window displays welcome you to walk into the boutiques. Spring and summertime are highlights, seeing nearly every street corner overflowing with flowers. And while this town is the classic, charming USA Main Streets, one end of the town is quickly becoming the funky, artistic scene. Places like Trader’s Alley have murals and a painted walkway. Tucked around the corner is Lascaux Micro-Theater that premieres showings like the Manhattan Film Festival and other artistic cinema. The Blaxxmith Shop and The Infamous Art Gallery have interactive art exhibits and events each week. It’s common to see a gathering of artists on the corner, prepping for the town’s next event. It’s easy to see how the arts are appreciated throughout the town – the local city purchased a Main Street building and restored it into the Colonial Arts Center – a hub for performances, theater, exhibition space and workshops. Recent productions include “Clue: Live On Stage” and “A 1940s Radio Christmas Carol.” Buckhannon’s creativity flows into the restaurants, too. Local – and yes, it’s all certainly local – as Laura Meadows, director of the Convention and Visitors Bureau says, “Buckhannon is proud to have our own people own the restaurants; we don’t have many chain restaurants and we like it that way.” Eating local means finding places like Fish Hawk Acres, that’s famous for Teresa’s biscuits, focaccia bread, and sunny windows. Fish Hawk serves more than meals – the downtown spot has first-class private dining experiences; the retail market, called The Coop, plus welcomes guests into the kitchen for some interactive cooking classes. #arts #filmproduction #theater #travel #tourism #america #sightseeing #outdoors #hiddengems #hiddenplaces #hiking #bicycling #food #foodie #cabins #smalltownlife #bestvacationspots #eateries #activities #cooking Food & Travel Magazine: https://foodandtravelmagazine.com Subscribe for free to our digital magazine: https://tinyurl.com/3e68av2h Follow us on: Instagram: https://instagram.com/foodandtravelmag Tik Tok: https://tiktok.com/@foodandtravelmag Twitter: https://twitter.com/foodandtravel_ Email: admin@foodandtravel.net Call: (800) 850-0961 When a caffeine boost is needed, a favorite is Stone Tower Brews that has top selections of West Virginia craft beer on tap and creates specialty coffee blends. For one of the best burgers, the unassuming Whistle Stop Bar and Grill might not look like much, but serves up amazing burger creations like “The Caboose” and the “Almost Heaven.” While Buckhannon is most known for its downtown vibes, the wild and wonderful side of West Virginia can be seen surrounding the town. Trail networks have become a priority for places like Upshur County Trails, with 10+ miles of trails for mountain bikers and hikers. Local trail makers like to say the wooded network is “made by mountain bikers, for mountain bikers.” More scenic trails and experiences are found at the West Virginia Wildlife Center. An immersive experience, guests can walk through the wooded forest of West Virginia to see the state’s native animals in natural enclosures. Overnight camp spots at Audra State Park are along the Middle Fork River, where the scenes and sounds of the flowing river can’t be beat. West Virginia is an emerging top destination. The locals have long known the hidden gems – the scenic rolling hills, the winter mountains lined with ski slopes, the wide-open forests, and the small towns dotting the state with true Appalachian culture. In a time when everyone is searching for a new getaway, choosing Buckhannon is worth a shot.

Welcome to South Carolina’s Hammock Coast Water has shaped South Carolina’s Hammock Coast – be it rivers and marshes or Winyah Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. It’s important historically and culturally, and, today, it’s what defines Georgetown County as one of America’s premier vacation spots. Surfers ride the waves. Kayakers explore tidal creeks. Fishermen and boaters reel in stories along the rivers. And countless others soak up the sun on pristine beaches in Pawleys Island, Litchfield, Murrells Inlet, southern Garden City and the DeBordieu Colony near the historic city of Georgetown. South Carolina’s Hammock Coast is perfectly situated south of Myrtle Beach and north of Charleston, and its unspoiled and uncrowded shores bring visitors throughout the year. The Hammock Coast beaches are perfect for taking away the cares of everyday life. Numerous national magazines have, in fact, noted that some of South Carolina’s best beaches are found on the Hammock Coast. Those beach communities each have their own vibe and charm. Murrells Inlet, for example, is home to Brookgreen Gardens, a world-renowned sculpture and botanical showcase across 9,127 acres, and Huntington Beach State Park, a USA Today/10 Best nominee where visitors can relax in more than 180 campsites, and offers some of the best birding opportunities on the East Coast. At the 2,000-acre state park, you can even explore historic Atalaya Castle. Seriously, the Hammock Coast has a real castle at the beach! Murrells Inlet is also known as the “Seafood Capital of South Carolina.” Originally a fishing village on a protected inlet, the community boasts some of the best seafood in the South! The Murrells Inlet MarshWalk, a half-mile-long boardwalk, allows visitors to experience the salt-marsh ecosystem while restaurants, shops, parasailing, jet skiing and fishing excursions all beckon. Pawleys Island is the oldest seaside resort in America and is still a great place to enjoy a quiet, laid-back vacation. As the birthplace of the Pawleys Island handmade rope hammock, relaxation has a long history here. The historic island has no neon and no commercial development (no, not even a single store or gas station); however, there are two historic inns and myriad homes for rent. And just over the short causeway are first-class restaurants and boutique shops. Families have been devoted to Litchfield Beach for generations. Little wonder, then, that Tripadvisor has named it one of the Top 10 beaches in America. Award-winning golf, with 13 courses within a 15-minute drive, can be enjoyed on the Hammock Coast, too. Many are built on former rice plantations, giving a graciously Southern golf experience. Three of Golf Magazine’s “Top 100 You Can Play” are here. For the history buff, Georgetown is South Carolina’s third oldest city, founded in 1729, and the beaches of DeBordieu Colony are just across the bridge. Five museums, including the South Carolina Maritime Museum, are all within the waterfront historic district. Self-guided walking tours offer insight into the town’s 66 National Historic Register properties. Historic American figures such as George Washington and Harriett Tubman are intertwined in our rich history. Andrews, located 18 miles inland from Georgetown, offers the perfect place to experience the natural world. From sporting clays to kayaking along the winding Black River, Andrews is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. Throughout the Hammock Coast, visitors discover tempting culinary delights. When the hardest part of vacation is deciding where to eat, you know you’re in the right spot! From fine dining to Southern-fried goodness, myriad eclectic, locally owned restaurants will whet your appetite. On South Carolina’s Hammock Coast, rediscover life with no schedules. The only itinerary you may need is a tide chart.

Outdoor adventures and flavors to savor: Sierra Vista, Arizona While much of the country is battling snowstorms, Sierra Vista, Arizona, is enjoying mild winter weather with picture-perfect, snow-topped peaks as a reminder that winter is in full swing. But with valley temperatures in the low 60s, tire chains and wooly underthings are as mysterious as Chupacabra*. While “going south” is usually associated with rising temperatures, Sierra Vista, at 4,633 feet, enjoys a comfortable climate all year long. In winter months, visitors can still explore without bundling up. Spring starts in late February with mercury rising to the low 70s. Blazing summer heat is unusual; June’s high 90s are broken with seasonal rainstorms. The Huachucas (say “Waa-CHOO-kuhs” to sound like a local) are the southernmost range of the Sky Islands, fast-rising peaks surrounded by radically different lowlands, that create an ecosystem that is among the most diverse in the world, with narrow valleys, steep canyons, and soaring peaks that invite biodiversity seen nowhere else in the United States. In fact, the area attracts myriad avian life, more than any other place in the United States, giving Sierra Vista the nickname of “Hummingbird Capital of the United States.” Here, you can find up to 15 species of hummingbirds—one found nowhere else north of Mexico—and more than 300 different bird species during the year. Whether you road cycle or mountain bike, Sierra Vista is surrounded by miles of rolling, two-lane roads, bike lanes, and single-track mountain trails. The Huachucas reach a soaring 9,465 feet with some pretty steep trails for hearty hikers, although plenty of gentler trails still rate high with mountain bikers and hikers alike. One of the easiest routes (and perhaps most peaceful trail) is the path along the San Pedro River. This 54-mile trail is relatively flat (just 100 feet of elevation change) and offers multiple access points along the river. Sierra Vista is big enough for the best amenities, but small enough for a charming getaway. The city has earned a reputation for culinary diversity, thanks to the international restaurants tucked in plazas throughout the city. Offerings include flavors from around the world, attributed to nearby Fort Huachuca, whose soldiers returned from overseas with a hunger for world flavors. Drop into any of the eateries in jeans and hiking boots for a flavor-packed meal. Don’t let the unassuming (and sometimes kitschy) décor fool you into low expectations. The chefs won’t compromise when showcasing their homeland favorites. And luckily, reservations aren’t needed unless you have a big group. Southeast Arizona grows about 80 percent of Arizona’s wine grapes at more than two dozen vineyards. Exploring nearby wine country and sampling the gold medal-winning wines produced there is must. Along the way, the scenery will knock your socks off, especially if you are traveling at sunset: blasts of orange, pink, and purple light up the sky. Have your camera ready, the light changes quickly. Find out more and start planning your getaway at SierraVistaAZ.com or download the interactive guide on your smartphone at your favorite app store. Just search “Sierra Vista Guide.” *What is a Chupacabra you ask? An urban legend, a mythological question mark that roams the Southwest and Latin America attacking livestock under the cloak of darkness. Don’t worry, Chupacabra are as elusive as Bigfoot and you’re more likely to spot a coatimundi than this “goat sucker.” #winecountry #travel #tourism #america #sightseeing #outdoors #hiddengems #hiddenplaces #hiking #bicycling #trails #winery #food #foodie #biking #smalltownlife #bestvacationspots #eateries #activities Food & Travel Magazine: https://foodandtravelmagazine.com Subscribe for free to our digital magazine: https://tinyurl.com/3e68av2h Follow us on: Instagram: https://instagram.com/foodandtravelmag Tik Tok: https://tiktok.com/@foodandtravelmag Twitter: https://twitter.com/foodandtravel_ Email: admin@foodandtravel.net Call: (800) 850-0961

The Road Trip. It’s what Americans do. It’s what we’ve always done. There are entire shelves of books devoted to hitting the road. And jukeboxes full of songs about riding out to case the promised land. We’ve all gone to look for America at one time or another. But what are we usually looking for? A great place to eat, of course. A classic hot dog stand. A roadside scoop shop. Barbecue joints. Diners. Bake shops. The corner café with hamburgers sizzling on an open grill all night and day. These are the places that fuel our trips and spark the stories we share with family and friends when we get back home. So, you’re ready to roll down your window and let the breeze blow back your hair — now what? Easy. Point your car in the direction of Upstate New York and some of the country’s best bakers, sandwich makers and chicken wing shakers. There may not be another cluster of regional specialties in the entire country like the one you’ll find along the highways that connect Binghamton, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo. The menu includes culinary traditions going back generations to a time when the region boomed with the opening of the Erie Canal and the flood of immigrants who followed. Chicken spiedies. Hot pies. Salt potatoes. Snappy grillers. Garbage plates. White hots. Buffalo wings. Beef on weck. Frozen custard. Sponge Candy. It’s a legacy of comfort food that’s affordable, delectable and unforgettable.

Natchitoches has been a destination for travelers since 1714.  Located in Central Louisiana on Interstate 49, you will find the original French Colony in Louisiana. For more than 300 years, tourists have come to Natchitoches from across the country and the globe. Today’s travelers learn of Natchitoches’ evolution through tremendous changes – from the course of a river to the traditions on Southern plantations and more. While paying homage to the past, the vibrancy of this city and region attracts many to explore both the stories of yesterday and the treasures of today.  In the heart of Natchitoches lies the “National Historic Landmark District,” which is home to the famous Front Street, a brick thoroughfare where wrought-iron balconies, restaurants, and shops face the beautiful Cane River Lake. In this area, you can also find Lasyone’s, the home of the legendary Natchitoches Meat Pie. Made of 80% beef and 20% pork, this local delicacy is fried golden brown and served with a choice of creamed potatoes or fries, a choice of vegetable, and salad.  Another must-stop while in Natchitoches can be found right around the corner: Merci Beaucoup Restaurant. It is located in a building that was once an old gas station. Now, you can find the delicious Cajun Potato here. It is a stuffed potato topped with crawfish étouffée and jumbo fried shrimp.  A short walk down Front Street might lead you to the Pioneer Pub. It is located in what was known as the Sompayrac Building, built in 1840 and was used as a bank for many years. The building was renovated to the style you see now just before World War II and is now home to the Pioneer Pub. It is a wonderful place to hang out and grab a nice cold beer. You can also order the mouth-watering appetizer called “The Wookie.” It is amazing homemade fries topped with brisket and melted cheese. This is something you will definitely be craving after the fact.  One of the most known restaurants in Natchitoches is The Mariner’s. It is located right off Sibley Lake and is known to have the best sunsets in town. They have also received a Wine Spectator’s Award in less than one year of being open with new owners. Mariner’s is also home to what they call “Chef’s Island.” It is an island located a few hundred feet from the main restaurant that houses a chef’s table and is only accessible by boat. Here you can enjoy a wonderful glass of wine with a sunset you won’t forget.  An additional must-stop is Flying Heart Brewing & Pub. It is housed in a refurbished cotton gin building that is nearly a century old. Whether you want to unwind after work or catch up with friends, Flying Heart Brewing & Pub is the perfect place to be. Here you can find mouthwatering food, signature cocktails, and unique craft beers that are a must-try. The overlap between this historic space and the birth of a new business is a perfect representation of what Natchitoches is all about: rooted in history but constantly evolving.  On your way out of Natchitoches, don’t forget to stop at the French Market. It is located right off I-49. What looks like an average convenience store from the outside, you’ll realize it is much more once you go inside. Here you can find a Cajun restaurant and bakery. The bakery is known for their delicious yam cakes and beignets. But that's not all they offer. You can also find fine wines and souvenirs, making it the perfect stop for all ages. If you’re looking for a quiet weekend with the family or a romantic weekend with a loved one, historic Natchitoches offers a dynamic atmosphere for everyone.  Visit Natchitoches.com or call (800) 259-1714 to plan your trip today. #travel #history #tourism #america #sightseeing #outdoors #hiddengems #bakery #hiddenplaces #hiking #bicycling #trails #winery #craftbeer #food #foodie #cabins #smalltownlife #bestvacationspots #eateries #activities #breweries Food & Travel Magazine: https://foodandtravelmagazine.com Subscribe for free to our digital magazine: https://tinyurl.com/3e68av2h Follow us on: Instagram: https://instagram.com/foodandtravelmag Tik Tok: https://tiktok.com/@foodandtravelmag Twitter: https://twitter.com/foodandtravel_ Email: admin@foodandtravel.net Call: (800) 850-0961

Fargo has an up-and-coming entrepreneurial spirit in the community that you’ll notice right when you arrive. The metro area spans three cities (Fargo, Moorhead, and West Fargo) and two states separated by the Red River of the North. The heart of the city lies in Downtown Fargo. Broadway and Main mark the southernmost end of the district with boutiques, taprooms, pizza places with rooftop patios, and a train-car mural welcoming you. As you head up Broadway, adorable boutiques, ice cream shops, fun bars, and restaurants line the street. In the center of it all, Broadway Square is known as the "living room" of Downtown Fargo, with events nearly 300 days out of the year, a grassy area with a bandshell throughout the warmer months, and a transformation into a dreamy ice rink in the wintertime. Art is a massive component of the Downtown area as well. There are many murals done by countless local and national artists. Even the electrical boxes are designed to be aesthetically pleasing to the eye. For local performances, area restaurants, as well as the Fargo Theatre and the Spirit Room, have cozy spaces to catch a show and include local jazz artists, Fargo’s very own Symphony, Ballet, and Opera, as well as traveling artists. The largest accredited art museum between Minneapolis and Seattle is also located in the Downtown district. The Plains Art Museum has unique local and regional art exhibits that highlight various subjects, such as indigenous art. They bring in many local artists with an indigenous background and an art fair explicitly dedicated to the culture. If food is a top priority during your travels, Fargo is bound to hit the spot. The Fargo metro area has over 200 locally owned and operated restaurants with nearly any kind of cuisine you can think of. Standouts include Prairie Kitchen, an utterly Scandinavian menu and vibe that's ultimately inviting and nods to our locals' Norwegian history and culture. Another, Tati’s Mediterranean Saveur, has authentic Lebanese food like meat pies, hummus, and Kibbeh balls. For the perfect cocktail (or mocktail), Rosewild is the new kid on the block in the Jasper Hotel, with perfectly crafted drinks and an extensive wine list. BernBaum’s is another standout; this Jewish deli rivals those in New York City, with shakshuka, and bagels topped with lox on the menu. Events in the area range from canoe parades, vintage markets in downtown streets, and even a winter festival dedicated to getting outdoors, even in the dead of winter. Whether you’re looking for live music, cultural and artistic, or beer-focused events, Fargo is a one-stop shop. In the fall, the Civic Center is transformed into a holiday wonderland for Christkindlmarkt. In June, the prominent heritage of the area is highlighted with the Scandinavian Festival. Then in the spring, the annual Woodlands & High Plains Powwow takes the stage to celebrate the American Indian culture. Whether it’s culture, beer, food, art, or music, Fargo does these things just a little differently. You’ll have to experience it for yourself to understand. Experience North. North of Normal. #travel #tourism #america #sightseeing #outdoors #hiddengems #deli #hiddenplaces #hiking #bicycling #trails #winery #food #foodie #cabins #smalltownlife #bestvacationspots #eateries #activities #art #pizza #rooftop Food & Travel Magazine: https://foodandtravelmagazine.com Subscribe for free to our digital magazine: https://tinyurl.com/3e68av2h Follow us on: Instagram: https://instagram.com/foodandtravelmag Tik Tok: https://tiktok.com/@foodandtravelmag Twitter: https://twitter.com/foodandtravel_ Email: admin@foodandtravel.net Call: (800) 850-0961

Carbon County has some of the best snowmobiling in Wyoming with terrain to excite users of all skill levels. You can rent snowmobiles from Saratoga Hot Springs Resort. It’s not just the ease-of-use that makes this such an enticing adventure—it’s the fact Saratoga is home to lots of well-marked trails to explore. Each trip is guided by an expert who knows the Medicine Bow National Forest to help you navigate. The Rendezvous Lodge in the beautiful Snowy Range in the Medicine Bow National Forest is just 10 miles from scenic Medicine Bow Peak. It’s a perfect winter base camp for snowmobilers and cross-country skiers to relax after a fun day exploring. There are over 200 miles of groomed trails starting from the parking lot! The onsite restaurant is famous for their hand-cut rib-eyes and homemade pie. If you are looking for luxury, there is no place quite like the exclusive Brush Creek Ranch. Green Mountain, part of the Brush Creek resort collection, is a 600-acre private ski mountain where guests can enjoy incredible downhill skiing and snowboarding. These ski trails are only accessible via a heated snowcat! You’ll also want to check out “The Farm at Brush Creek.” At the Farm you can learn new cooking skills or experience the on-site restaurant, greenhouse, distillery, creamery, bakery, and massive wine cellar. Hot Springs Take a soothing dip where Native Americans once soaked for the healing powers of the hot springs at the Hobo Hot Springs in Saratoga, Wyoming. It’s free to the public and open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The historic Saratoga Hot Pool is located on the banks of the Platte River, where a bathhouse was constructed that is now a locker room for visitors.

When you visit Carbon County, you can step back in time and stay in one of the three hotels on the National Register of Historic Places. The oldest hotel in the county is The Hotel Wolf. Passengers on stagecoaches used it as a place to rest and eat. The Historic Elk Mountain Hotel features an eclectic style with a touch of Victorian elegance and Country charm, and no two rooms are alike. The food there is pretty incredible as well! The Historic Virginia Hotel was the biggest one between Denver and Salt Lake City back in 1911. This was the place for cowboys and railroad workers to rest and refuel, as well as serving as a central spot for meetings and gatherings. Today, you can return to those times in antique sleeping rooms or at the Shiloh Saloon, where bullet holes riddled throughout remind you of past shootouts! #travel #tourism #america #sightseeing #outdoors #hiddengems #snowtime #hiddenplaces #hiking #bicycling #trails #winery #food #foodie #snowmobiling #smalltownlife #bestvacationspots #eateries #activities #breweries Food & Travel Magazine: https://foodandtravelmagazine.com Subscribe for free to our digital magazine: https://tinyurl.com/3e68av2h Follow us on: Instagram: https://instagram.com/foodandtravelmag Tik Tok: https://tiktok.com/@foodandtravelmag Twitter: https://twitter.com/foodandtravel_ Email: admin@foodandtravel.net Call: (800) 850-0961

Explore The Land Between the Lakes Cadiz, Kentucky Known as the largest inland peninsula in all of America, the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area (aka “LBL”) is one of the main reasons to venture to the friendliest little town in all of Kentucky, Cadiz. Whether you are aiming for a short getaway with wildlife viewing or are hoping to stay longer and explore the charming main street enjoying a myriad of antiques and other attractions, Cadiz, Kentucky has a little bit of something for everyone.  While Cadiz is a great location to visit all times of the year, there is something especially poignant about making a weekend visit or a week-long getaway during the winter months. Due to the absence of tree leaves, and the sparseness of the forest underbrush, you will enjoy even more wildlife viewing opportunities than would be possible in other times of the year. This means you can perhaps experience first-hand the majesty of the regal American Bald Eagle, a bulging bison weighing upwards of 2,000, the guttural bugling echoes of the nature preserve— including the sounds of antlers clashing— or the harems of female elk, including perhaps an impressive 700-pound elk or two. In fact, winter presents the perfect opportunity to take a winter tour via boat or van and look for the many breathtaking creatures that call the area home. Camping is always in season and is available year-round in the Land Between the Lakes. There are many campgrounds to choose from including Energy Lake, Hurricane Creek, Turkey Bay, and the Wranglers Campground. Each campground offers unique features that set it apart from the others. For example, Turkey Bay is known as a hub for ATV riders and off-roaders. This area features hundreds of miles of trails with varying difficulty levels, and all types of vehicles are welcome. The Wranglers Campground is yet another potential camping location in the region. This campground offers 220 well-defined sites with electrical hookups and more, and 12 cabins are also available for rent. In addition, this campground features over 100 miles of horse trails to enjoy as well as stalls, farrier and blacksmith services and an activity court. Keep in mind that horses have the right-of-way in this campground. #travel #tourism #america #sightseeing #outdoors #hiddengems #hiddenplaces #hiking #bicycling #trails #food #foodie #fishing #lakes #streetartists #bestvacationspots #eateries #activities #cabins Food & Travel Magazine: https://foodandtravelmagazine.com Subscribe for free to our digital magazine: https://tinyurl.com/3e68av2h Follow us on: Instagram: https://instagram.com/foodandtravelmag Tik Tok: https://tiktok.com/@foodandtravelmag Twitter: https://twitter.com/foodandtravel_ Email: admin@foodandtravel.net Call: (800) 850-0961

Remember snow days as a kid? You’re breathless over blankets of fresh powder as your heart pounds with joy at the news – school’s canceled! You spend the day building snow forts, launching snowballs, and sledding down the steepest hill to fill your memory bank to the brim. Ready to embrace the pure joy of playing in a world of sparkling snow as a carefree kid? Bend, Oregon, makes the perfect winter escape from adulthood as you burrow into a snow cave filled with boundless winter nostalgia. Find winter fun right in town and in the nearby majestic snow-capped Cascade Mountains. We've got everything from sledding hills to ice skating to acres of downhill terrain at Mt. Bachelor. Cap it all off with warm, whipped cream-topped drinks around a crackling fire. Grab your mittens, toboggan, and thermos full of hot cocoa, and let’s frolic and play the Bend way! Sledding is undeniably one of the most giggle-worthy winter activities. When the snow gathers, every hill becomes your playground. When it snows in town, head to Drake Park, Hollinshead Park, or Al Moody Park and try your chance at beating Clark Griswold's new amateur recreational saucer sled land speed record. As snow falls in the upper elevations, Wanoga Sno-Park is a must for tubing and sledding. A short drive from town, Wanoga is not only the gateway to great snowshoeing and dog-friendly ski trails but also an expansive sledding area with a huge warming hut at the base. If winter nostalgia wraps you in an urge to hit the slopes, leave ample time for devouring a piping hot bowl of chili and swapping brag-worthy ski stories with friends at the lodge. Mt. Bachelor is the Pacific Northwest’s destination winter wonderland and purveyor of epic days on the mountain. A hefty average snowfall, one of the longest winter operating seasons in the U.S., and oodles of bluebird days stack up to some serious, whimsical winter fun. Skiers and snowboarders will relish more than 4,000 acres of terrain. For the never-have-I-ever newbie, book lessons through the “Ski or Ride in 5” program. IKON passholders get seven days of full access at Mt. Bachelor, enough to experience the whole mountain. Is strapping sticks to your feet and hurtling down a mountain not your speed? Enjoy snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, or an expedition on the wild – and furry – side with a dog-sled ride. When you’re done, refuel and quench your thirst at one of several bars and restaurants across the mountain. While most of the snow resides in the mountains, the young-at-heart devotion to winter runs deep in Bend. Plenty of crisp days, occasional bouts of snow, and scores of recreation make the season magical. Glide and twirl on ice skates at The Pavilion. Take your latte to go and enjoy a dazzling winter walk along the Deschutes River at Drake Park. Head downtown or to the Old Mill District and shop for handmade gifts and souvenirs. If snow's falling, grab some snowshoes for a hike through Shevlin Park and build a holly, jolly figure made of snow. Beer lovers will want to explore the territories of the Bend Ale Trail, where craft beer is served up with fire pits and cozy tasting rooms. Bend’s the perfect place to rediscover your inner kid. Join us this winter to recreate childhood memories or build new ones with your own family. Let Bend transport you to a sparkling world full of joy, magic, and mountains of fun. #skiing #sledding #winter #snow #travel #tourism #america #sightseeing #outdoors #hiddengems #hiddenplaces #hiking #bicycling #trails #food #foodie #cabins #smalltownlife #bestvacationspots #eateries #activities Food & Travel Magazine: https://foodandtravelmagazine.com Subscribe for free to our digital magazine: https://tinyurl.com/3e68av2h Follow us on: Instagram: https://instagram.com/foodandtravelmag Tik Tok: https://tiktok.com/@foodandtravelmag Twitter: https://twitter.com/foodandtravel_ Email: admin@foodandtravel.net Call: (800) 850-0961

New Year, New You? Travel Like It! No matter your goals or aspirations, resolutions are about deciding what you want and getting after it—we think travel should be the same. Whether you’re a planner or prefer to go with theflow, picking a destination as unique as Baton Rouge guarantees something for every traveler and intention. Eat Better A phrase that can take on many meanings, eating “better” in Baton Rouge, Louisiana is a given—so why not try something new? Put your trust in the generations of award-winning chefs that bring international flavor to this already globally-influenced city and you won’t be disappointed. There’s Italian at Gino’s, Indian at Al Noor or Nigerian at BB & PF, where many compare scooping jollof rice and fufu dough in the wood-paneled restaurant to dining in the chef’s very own living room. We know for many, the traditional Louisiana experience feels like another world in itself. So staple restaurants like Poor Boy Lloyd’s, Elsie’s Plate & Pie and Louisiana Lagniappe are locally-approved places to bite into your first po-boy, boudin ball or crawfish hand pie. Get Moving As relaxed and easy-going as we’re known to be, the people of Baton Rouge still know how to move—most importantly, no actual dance experience is required. When you stumble upon a festival or spot the neon glow of The Varsity Theater or Chelsea’s Live, just let the music move you! If your fitness regimen calls for a little more cardio—and maybe a few less drinks—take to the beautiful boardwalk trails that wind beneath cypress trees in the BlueBonnet Swamp, rent bikes along the Mississippi River or visit one of the dozens of parks nestled throughout the city. Learn a New Language While you may not find it on Duolingo, you can hear Cajun French words like lagniappe, couyon and, of course, laissez les bon temp roulez, when visiting Baton Rouge. The city was founded over 300 years ago, so traces of far away nations can be found in our language, food, traditions and architecture. If you’re seeking new knowledge in the new year, the Capitol Park Museum offers incredible exhibits on Louisiana culture and history, from Louis Armstrong and Mardi Gras to the lasting influences of Indigenous peoples. As always, there’s plenty to do in the new year and Baton Rouge is ready to help. To plan your trip to Louisiana’s capital, start by exploring visitbatonrouge.com for seasonal events, recommended itineraries, places to stay and more.
