There’s something magical about fall in Michigan. Maybe it’s the explosion of color that takes over the trees in every direction, or the way small lakeside towns come alive with cozy cafes, harvest festivals, and the smell of cider donuts. For me, it’s a little bit of all of that — and a lot of... The post Fall in Michigan: 7 Scenic Drives and Small Towns You’ll Love appeared first on Detail Oriented Traveler.| Detail Oriented Traveler

Lake Garda is the largest and arguably most beautiful lake in Italy.

Psssst, I whispered to my hiking guide, sat next to me at dinner, I hate to admit this since it was not the case when I was growing up in Eagle River, but Palmer's getting cool!

When people learn that I grew up in Alaska, one of the most common questions I receive is: how was it living in the dark for half the year?! Actually, it's not dark half the year in Alaska, but there are certain times of the year when it's darker than others and the days are much shorter. December is one of those times, and in fact, the shortest day of the year occurs on December 21st, so it's arguably the darkest time to visit Alaska among any of the winter months...| Valerie & Valise
Not many people have heard about the Republic of San Marino, but believe me, this tiny state of only 61 km2 (23.5 square miles) is truly worth visiting!

If there's one food people most associate with Alaska, it's gotta be King Crab. We've all seen the buckets of giant legs and mouth-watering red hue of the shell – and there are several iconic places to visit if you want to try King Crab in Alaska.

If there's one class I wish everyone in America – heck, the world – had to take before graduating their basic education program, it's statistics.

Such is the case for one of Alaska's most notorious statistics, which gets plastered all over the internet and cheap swag sold at the gift sh...| Valerie & Valise

There are some months that I just don't hear many questions about visiting Alaska – and November is one of them. It's not that there's nothing to do in the winter (there's lots in both Anchorage and Fairbanks!) or that you can't see the aurora (you absolutely can!) – it's more that people maybe just think about visiting in the heart of winter (December & January) or in the late winter (February & March).

How many times have you thought about exploring or visiting a destination in the region where you live, but never planned a trip? It's so easy to overlook the amazing places 'right in your backyard!' Such is the same for me with the region of Eklutna; I grew up in the neighboring valley of Eagle River, but hardly ever visited Eklutna.

I floated in on the wind, with the sun shining through a thin layer of clouds and wildflower smoke. Below the plane, a huge river snaked beneath us, treelined except for occasional breaks where smaller tributaries added to the mass of water slowly making its way toward the Arctic Ocean. Suddenly, the trees disappeared, replaced by golden sand, stretching almost as far as the eye can see. Wait... sand? In Alaska? In the middle of nowhere?...| Valerie & Valise
As a kid growing up in Alaska, I'll admit I didn't give much thought to, well, anywhere else. In Alaska, in the United States, or in the world. It's only as an adult – who now lives out of state – that I've come to appreciate how special my home state was as a kid (and still is today).

There's an interesting thing about Alaskans: we don't travel very much within our own state. If you live on the road system (as I did when growing up in the Anchorage area), you'll probably see the main sights in places like Denali or Seward – you might even be adventurous and head out to further flung spots like Homer, Valdez, or McCarthy (in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park)...| Valerie & Valise
I was surprised to learn that I am not alone in preferring Capitol Reef above Utah's other Mighty 5 parks; it is less visited than all but Canyonlands, and doesn't ever feel crowded even on busy summer days – at least not the same way you might feel crowded in Arches, Bryce Canyon, and Zion!

The sky is clear and the sun creates a million sparkles of light on the face of the ocean. A humpback whale erupts from the shallow waves in a full breach. A glacier cracks loudly making the phrase "white thunder" make sense as a giant piece of ice falls into the water.

When it comes to Utah's National Parks, it's easy to understand why they're called the Mighty 5. From Arches eponymous formations to Zion's riotous red canyons, it's hard to believe there can be anywhere so beautiful in the world.
