he thing I love most about the concept of adventure is it can be as grand or simple as you want to make it. You can get a thrill from taking a short hike down a beautiful trail starting right in your neighborhood, or you can hop a plane and head around the world for an exotic experience. No matter the scale, the Travel and Adventure Issue is packed with ideas and helpful tips for your next trip. Reinventing a piece of Americana, travel writer Haley Shapley explores the idea of American road trips by highlighting nine different highways—including a few right here in the Pacific Northwest—that are sure to stun. Read the details on page 42. For those adventurers whose idea of a good time includes bold food and fine wine, heed the advice of wine and dining enthusiast Julie Arnan. She suggests taking your sense of adventure with you on a short trip down to Oregon. You can read her thoughts in “Traveling the Oregon Wine Trail” on page 30. If you have already booked a ticket to a faraway place, there are also articles to help you counteract the physical toll traveling can take on your body. Bellevue Club trainer Christin Tercek gives excellent exercise tips for the frequent flyer using a suitcase or small pieces of equipment you can easily fit into it. See her plan on page 20. And dietitian Wendy Caamano provides nutrition tips for the road on page 58. Whether you are headed just down the road or to a new country, I wish you safe and happy travels.
