Taos Ski Valley provides several new options for visitors to New Mexico this summer and early fall season, including intermediate and advanced lift-served mountain biking trails, as well as new mountain biking private lessons. In line with its B Corporation commitment to environmental sustainability, Taos Ski Valley’s summer and early fall offerings focus on human-powered adventures with a low impact on the mountain, allowing visitors to truly connect with and experience the natural beauty of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

Building upon the popularity of the Green Chile Flow Trail, a handful of new trails give mountain bikers more options. Intermediate trails like Pop Rocks, Grip It And Rip It and Blue Bottles have been added, as well as an advanced trail, Risky Biscuit. An additional intermediate trail, Hondo, is expected to open this month. These trails feature everything guests loved about Green Chile, including the lift-served access, the amazing scenery, the attainable challenge and the excitement, but taken to the next level with tighter and steeper features.
Also launching for the first time this summer are mountain biking private lessons for groups of up to four people. Lessons includes bike rental, all safety gear, lift ticket and three hours of instruction.

The one-of-a-kind Via Ferrata climbing experience is also back. Situated at 11,500 feet in the sub-alpine ecosystem of Kachina Peak, it features beginner, intermediate and advanced climbing route challenges, a 100-foot skybridge and a double-cable catwalk. For the first time this summer, sunset tours will also be available.
Scenic lift rides allow riders to enjoy the spectacular alpine scenery of the Kachina Basin. Summer day lift tickets are adult (18–64) $24; teen (13–17) $20; child (7–12) $17; senior (65–79) $20; 80+/6 & under, $0. Prices are slightly higher for mountain bike lifts.

Sep 23, 2023When the Sun Goes Down, the Party Begins on Mykonos
There is something magical about sipping a glass of local wine while watching the sun slip into the Aegean Sea as the afterglow tinges traditional, white-washed Cycladic houses with glorious shades of rose, purple and gold. Ancient Greeks believed Helios, the Sun God, caused sunsets by driving his fiery chariot into the sea. Standing at water’s edge in Mykonos, watching the sky slowly turn from purple to inky black, you almost believe it.

Sep 22, 2023Cruise Alaska for Awe-Inspiring Adventures to Delight All Ages
I hadn’t even made it to my first cup of coffee when I got an early phone call from my sister, who lives two time zones away. “OMG, Kristy, Patsy Cline came on twice while I was driving the kids to school today,” she laughed. “You know what that means, right?” We both gasped and then instantly began singing the lyrics to “La Bamba,” an inside joke we’d shared since our family’s Alaskan cruise decades ago when we, unintentionally, won the ship’s karaoke contest among a sea of Patsy Cline tributes.

Sep 15, 2023Beyond the Beach: See Hawai’i’s Diverse Verdant and Volcanic Landscapes on an Island-Hopping Cruise
Midway Atoll is the end of the Hawai‘ian Islands, literally. This is the ultimate fate of these low, sandy islets ringing a lagoon: Eventually these last remnants of a once large volcanic island will sink beneath the waves, completing a story that began 1,500 miles away. Midway, though not easy to get to, occasionally features in cruise itineraries. Holland America Line’s Westerdam offers a rare chance to glimpse the remotest of all the Hawai‘ian Islands with a scheduled stop in October 2024. You can still see the relics of the famous World War II battle here as well as a million nesting albatrosses and other seabirds.
