Now, more than ever, we know that nature is a great healer. We feel it, and we need it, which is why it seems like none of us can get enough time outdoors—hiking, star gazing, boating and canoeing—losing ourselves in nature. Here are some great outdoor options.

Adirondack Wilderness

Take a walk around Lake Kora and enter an enchanted forest, teeming with

small woodland creatures, lush greenery and trilling birdsong. Beams of sunlight

shimmer along the surface of the still lake, and the wind gently rustles papery

beech leaves out of their torpor.

In the Shadow of Yosemite

A whisper away from the rugged Yosemite National Park, The Château du Sureau presents a delightfully refined counterpoint. By day, guests can immerse in nature and explore the spectacular peaks and waterfalls nearby—the Château’s Yosemite Excursion offers hiking and a picnic in the Park. Upon return, luxury awaits.

Astral Gazing

Utah has among the highest number of International Dark Sky-designated parks

and communities—so many that its governor recently declared April the official

Utah Dark Sky Month.

Rainforest Wandering

Like its sister properties Nayara Springs and Nayara Gardens, Nayara Tented

Camp, which opened in late-2019, is located deep in the rainforest in

Arenal Volcano National Park.
