Looking Glass Falls, in Pisgah National Forest near Brevard, is a 60-foot-tall waterfall that earns its name for resembling a wintertime mirror or looking glass of sunlight as water freezes on its sides and reflects the sun.

On Horsepasture River is Rainbow Falls, a staggering 125-foot waterfall wowing visitors year-round because of the sheer volume of water falling from the rock face and into a deep pool below.

Sep 6, 2024Escape to Tahiti for a Captivating Island-Hopping Cruise
The 118 islands of French Polynesia reveal themselves layer by fascinating layer, with the spirit of mana (vital force) linking them all the way from Tahiti to the remote reaches of the Marquesas. This is part of the world best savored on a journey that dives as deep into culture as natural beauty, both above and below the water’s surface. A cruise makes it easy to cover a lot of ground while unpacking just once (and sneaking in some work done in comfort, too, during at-sea days). And cruising offers particular appeal within this semi-autonomous French territory sprawling across nearly 2 million square miles of ocean and covering five archipelagos.

Facing the vast St. Stephen’s Green in the heart of Dublin sits the iconic and historic The Shelbourne. Few hotels master the perfect blend of history and luxury, but The Shelbourne gets it right.
