Way of the Day

Maine's Acadia National Park has dozens of scenic trails with wonderful ocean, mountain, bay and island views. And that luscious lobster roll has less than a third of the calories you burned on your Way up and down Sargent Mountain.

From Observation Point in Zion National Park, you almost sense geological time. You see how a meandering river spent ten million years cutting through thousands of feet of sandstone and limestone. Carving the contours of massive geological features.

The Yellowstone hike that has it all. Cliffs and mountainsides. Meadows where you expect to see bison. Forests. Wide-open moonscapes with bubbling, steaming geothermal pots. Wildly colorful canyon walls. And the view from the bottom of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River. Right alongside the great rushing river.
