The Bluegrass State may be widely known for green rolling countryside (not to mention the Derby and mint juleps!), but what lurks beneath is just as impressive. This trip explores Kentucky's fascinating underworld network of caves with plenty of above-ground fun to be had along the way, from finger-licking barbecue joints to horseback riding.

Sandy shores, tidal marshes, and pine forests make for an experience where salty air and evergreen scents mingle in The Lowcountry—and set the stage for an inspiring and refreshing trip. On this five-day expedition into the genuine culture, flavors, and natural beauty of the region, you’ll find small communities with deep regional roots, delicious cuisine, and fascinating history.

New River Gorge, once one of the country’s hidden gems, recently became the United State’s 63rd and newest national park in December, the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. On this five-day road trip, you’ll explore the river by water and by air, and stop at West Virginia’s small cities, Appalachian-influenced restaurants, hot springs, and caves.
