Since I retired, hiking is my preferred way to explore outdoor areas. Sedona, Arizona is the perfect place to indulge in hiking. It is known as the day hiking capital of the United States. There are many rock scrambling, steep, gravelly trails. If you are like me, a rolling hill trail with panoramic views has much greater appeal. The easy trails described here are appropriate for all skill levels and would be comfortable for all active seniors, empty nestaers and retirees.

Sedona is known for its stunning red rock formations, energizing vortexes, outdoor adventures and amazing restaurants. Sedona is full of great restaurants. Chef Lisa Dahl has spent 20 years building renowned restaurants like Mariposa with its Latin inspired cuisine and Dahl and Di Luca with its Italian deliciousness. Jeff Smedstad combines the flavors of south Mexico with the local southwestern flavors at the innovative Elote. Rene and l'Auberge bring the flavors of Europe to

“Nowhere on this planet is the desert as fascinating as it is in Arizona.” wrote Joseph Stacey in Arizona Magazine. Having recently returned from an Arizona desert adventure, I would heartily agree.

We spent 7 days exploring the northern Arizona desert using Sedona as a base. We to

Florida is not the first place people think about when they think about hiking. Here in Palm Beach County, we don't have mountain tops with sweeping vistas. We do have unique eco-systems, teeming with wildlife. The northern sections of the Everglades can be accessed by our trails. Our wetlands are home to migrating birds, wild hogs, river otters, bobcats and coyotes. Hikers are rewarded with treks that pass through multiple eco-sytems, as they get time in nature and exercise

When considering a visit to Palm Beach County, most people are thinking golf, baseball or beaches. Few people consider the wilder side of Palm Beach County, the protected natural areas inland from the beaches. These wetlands and forests are the northern most section of the Everglades. The Headwaters in Jupiter Farms is listed on VRBO and Airbnb . It is is the perfect basecamp to explore this unique eco-system. An Oasis in the by the River Check out my Hiking and Travel Gear

Palm Beach County is a Golfer's paradise. For years, it was home to the PGA Headquarters. Dozens of professional Golfers live or have lived here including Tiger Woods, Greg Norman, Ernie Els, Rory Mcllory, Ricky Fowler and Jack Nicklaus, just to name a few. Plus the weather and Golf Courses are spectacular. For a luxury golf experience, you can stay and play at The Breakers or PGA National Resort.
