We’ve got so many beautiful regions in the Empire State that it’s difficult to just pick one to explore. If you’re looking for a day trip in New York, where do you go? The Adirondacks? The Catskills? The Big Apple? All of these are great choices, but today we’re going to focus on a region that’s not quite as popular of a vacation spot: the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. This area boasts natural beauty, some amazing wineries, and plenty of activities to enjoy....

Do you have any local fall traditions? For some, family trips to the pumpkin patch or apple picking days signify the start of the new season. But for many others, something spookier is on the horizon. Every October, Field of Screams opens in Victor, and it’s always a great (and slightly terrifying) time. Field of Scream has repeatedly been named Western Montana’s Number One Haunted Attraction. This year marks their 22nd annual event....

It’s no secret that Nevada is a wildlife enthusiast’s paradise, especially if you love spotting wild horses. After all, our state is home to the nation’s most wild horses and burros.

A cemetery in New York may not seem like a particularly thrilling attraction, but Green-Wood Cemetery is one of the most beautiful in the country. This 478-acre green space in Brooklyn was the city’s first public park. It’s been designated as a National Historic Landmark and is the final resting place for more than 600,000 people. One of the most unique things about Green-Wood is a small art installation that was put up just a few years ago....

West Virginians got a scare a while back when it was announced that some of our state parks might be charging an entrance fee. The fee would have only been $2 per car, but that may have still been enough to deter some visitors. However, the controversial decision was overturned by Governor Jim Justice, who announced that all of the parks would continue to remain free to the public. With this good news, you’ll want to check out these state parks to visit in West Virginia that are still free ....

The oxymoron “Pampered Wilderness” may be one of the best two-word labels ever created for an accommodation. What better phrase could describe a setting that offers luxury amid the rustic nature of a state park? The surrounding fir and cedar trees and a campfire provide the outdoor “camping” feel, while the well-appointed tents (described by the host company as canvas cabins) add the glamour that merges into a “glamping” experience....

Pumpkin spice is great and all, but there’s another fall flavor that doesn’t get nearly the amount of recognition it deserves: apple cider. Made with freshly picked apples, the apple cider donuts from Apple Annie’s Orchard in Wilcox are a classic autumn treat. They’re perfect for enjoying while you stroll through the pumpkin patch or admire the changing leaves. Fall in Arizona means changing leaves, lower temperatures, and - most importantly - tons of festivities at Apple Annie’s Orchard in Wilcox....

The United States Interstate System is truly a planning marvel. Highways criss-cross the land, creating pathways through mountains and over rivers in ways that may seem impossible to anyone who isn’t an engineer. One of the country’s busiest routes, I-80, passes through a big chunk of Wyoming, and the Cowboy State has certainly left its mark on the route. I-80 is one of America’s most iconic routes. It starts in New York City and travels all the way west to San Francisco....

All forests are not created equal. Sure, most contain regular, run-of-the-mill trees. But then there are others, like the old growth forest at Sky Lake WMA, which is comprised of some of the oldest and biggest cypress trees in the world. The best part is that there’s a boardwalk trail that winds right through the old growth forest. It’s quite possibly the most underrated trail in Mississippi, and you’ll want to check it out....
