4 Travel Destinations That Are Off The Beaten Path
Hoh Rainforest, Olympic National Park, WA
There are places every traveler has on their bucket list - Paris or Fiji, perhaps, or a weekend in Las Vegas - but sometimes it feels good to get off the beaten path and visit someplace more remote. If you’re interested in a unique holiday where you can really explore, consider these spectacular North American destinations.
Denali National Park, Alaska
Mountains, rivers, glaciers - the Denali Wilderness is a breathtaking natural landscape in Alaska. Visitors can enjoy a day hike, take a dog sled out onto the snowy tundra or even take a helicopter ride over the park. Camping options are available, or stay in a local bed and breakfast just outside the park. This incredible location is perfect for photographers or nature enthusiasts looking to spot some caribou or moose. (Just watch out for bears.)

Hoh Rainforest, Washington
Interested in exploring an incredible rainforest without leaving the U.S.? Consider a trip to Washington State.

Take in the mountain views, look for wildlife, go fishing, hike along creeks and visit tide pools along the beach. There’s so much to do and see, and you’re only a few hours away from Vancouver or Seattle.

Fogo Island is undeniably special. There are fantastic hiking trails here, but the views are spectacular anywhere on the island. Fogo Island is easily accessible and makes for an amazing, relaxing East Coast getaway. It’s home to one of the most unique luxury accommodations in Canada as well as some great restaurants, historical sites and art galleries. Wander through the charming town or take a walk down to the shore to see some icebergs passing by. Go whale watching or look for wildlife on a guided tour.
