Karlsruhe, located in southwestern Germany near the French border, is a city known for its unique radial layout, rich cultural life, and role as a hub for law and technology. Founded in 1715, the city was planned around the iconic Karlsruhe Palace, with streets radiating outward like the spokes of a wheel.
The Rhine Valley offers a unique blend of historic landmarks, cultural traditions, and natural splendor. Whether exploring ancient castles, savoring local wines, or simply cruising along the river, visitors will find endless opportunities to create lasting memories in this enchanting region.
St. Moritz, located in Switzerland’s Engadin Valley, has been attracting visitors for over 150 years, long before the term "alpine resort" became common. It was here in 1864 that winter tourism was born, when a hotelier made a wager with British guests that they would enjoy the snow just as much as the summer sun. They returned, and the rest is history. The town has since hosted the Winter Olympics twice (in 1928 and 1948) and remains a favorite for skiing, snowboarding, and ice sports.

Located in the southern Sierra Nevada mountain range, Kings Canyon National Park feaures high mountain meadows, swift flowing rivers, groves of giant Sequoia trees, and many miles of hiking trails to explore it all.
Combined, the Pacific Crest Trail and John Muir Trail form the backbone of the trail system, which ranges from relatively easy day hikes to multi-day backpacking treks over difficult terrain. The Rae Lakes Loop, at 41.4 miles, is one of the most popular trips, passing through the deep canyons of Paradise Valley, across the high Woods Creek suspension bridge, and through Glen Pass before reaching Rae Lakes.
