Where to go this summer?

1. Newport, Rhode Island

Despite its small size, Newport, Rhode Island is a city with a long list of attractions. There are immaculately preserved Gilded Age mansions, a legendary sailing arena, historic churches (including the oldest synagogue in the United States), museums of all kinds, lively shops and restaurants — not to mention its famous folk and jazz festivals.

2. Lake Tahoe, California

Lake Tahoe, located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of northeastern California, is the largest alpine lake in North America. The deep blue water, mountains, pine-scented air, rocky shores and clear skies at 6,225 feet above sea level. In the summer, it offers an abundance of outdoor activities, including swimming, boating, hiking, camping, biking, and nature walks.

3. St. Michaels, Maryland

 St. Michaels, Maryland has retained the look and feel of a 19th century seaport: stroll along the red-brick sidewalks past the Victorian homes and boutiques of the historic district, or head down to the pier in search of its famous fresh seafood.

There are so many ways to spend a magical weekend in Park City — arts events, spa, boutique shopping, dining, concerts, and historic sites. And of course, the mountains are what make this place special, so we recommend bringing hiking boots.
