Leaning into Leisure

Is your passport stowed, the cooler packed, or is your escape in the pages of a great book? With July’s arrival, we are leaning into leisure and embracing summer’s invitation to rest and recharge our creative energy. Some of you plan to explore new places, while others return to beloved destinations.

To get your travel juices flowing, we’re sharing photos from a few of our favorite travel experiences in the U.S. - from mountain trails to thrill-seeking fun to peaceful water views. We’ve also included a fabulous dining destination and a glorious patio scene for afternoon refreshments.

We hope these pictures inspire you to slow down at the scenic overlook, shift gears for a single-day adventure, or set sail for a long weekend.
