The post “Nature bathe” in northern California appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Experience the dramatic Northern California coast at The Inn at Newport Ranch, a luxury inn and 2,100-acre private ocean and wilderness preserve offering guests an unparalleled opportunity to “nature bathe” and adventure along the rugged coast and among majestic redwoods. 

The Ranch is a natural playground for exploration and relaxation with 1.5 miles of dramatic Pacific coastline and 7 distinct microclimates. Guests explore world-class hiking trails through redwoods and along panoramic ridgetops, horseback ride across the property’s working cattle ranch and take exhilarating UTV tours. They can also venture off-site for wine tours, whale watching, and kayaking adventures.

For those seeking relaxation, the property is ripe with opportunities for relaxation and restoration – in its spa, sweat lodge and 23 thoughtfully placed benches for meditative moments, and stargazing under its certified dark-sky. Indoors, cozy fireplaces, board games, and sunset cocktails create a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.

History & Architecture: A Legacy of Conservation and Craftsmanship

The vision of 96-year-old founder and conservationist Will Jackson, The Inn at Newport Ranch is a testament to the harmonious integration of luxury and nature. “It’s like living in a painting,” Jackson says of the panoramic coastal views that inspired him to share this extraordinary land with others.

Crafted from trees felled on the property, the Inn’s architecture celebrates the natural world with exposed beams, intricate woodwork, and organic elements that reflect the land’s character. The accommodations, including four guest rooms, three suites, and a 10-guest oceanfront home, each offer a distinct ambiance and view, ensuring no two stays are alike.

Culinary Offerings: A Taste of the Land

Dining at The Inn at Newport Ranch is a farm-to-table experience rooted in the land itself. Guests enjoy meals crafted from local ingredients—think honey and beef from the ranch, and wild vegetables foraged from the surrounding forest. Breakfast is cooked to order, while lunch, picnic baskets, and evening happy hours are tailored to the day’s adventures. At dinner, two prix-fixe menus celebrate the flavors of Mendocino, or guests may venture into nearby towns for additional dining options.

Sustainability: Preserving Nature’s Bounty

The Inn at Newport Ranch is dedicated to conservation. In partnership with the Redwood Forest Foundation, the Inn donates a portion of every guest’s stay to support the restoration and management of local forests. Guests are invited to participate in guided tours that explore the importance of preserving the redwood ecosystem, and every stay contributes to the planting of a redwood seedling, ensuring that this precious land remains protected for generations to come.

Location

Located off California’s scenic North Hwy 1, 20 miles north of Mendocino, The Inn at Newport Ranch is a scenic 3.5-hour drive from San Francisco or Sacramento, with private helicopter landings and nearby airports offering additional access. This historic coastal cattle ranch and timber preserve, is a hidden gem for those seeking an unforgettable escape into nature.

The post Girls’ Guide to the World’s (GG2W) marks 15th anniversary appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

 

Girls’ Guide to the World’s (GG2W) recently marked the milestone celebration of its 15th anniversary. Marking over a decade and a half of redefining solo travel for women, expanding from a Paris-focused guide to offering upscale, curated tours across 40+ countries. Another trend gaining momentum in the industry, the rise of “wellness travel”—trips designed for women navigating life changes, seeking support, camaraderie, wellness activities, or simply a peaceful retreat, with World Mental Health Day (Oct 10th) quickly approaching.

Doni Belau, founder of GG2W, is passionate about using travel as a tool for healing and empowerment, particularly for women facing life’s challenges. She highlights the transformative power of travel in supporting mental well-being by fostering resilience, connection, and personal growth. GG2W trips go beyond typical sightseeing, offering all-inclusive, women-only retreats that focus on connection, personal transformation, and unforgettable experiences in a safe, supportive environment.

• Doni’s passion for crafting transformative and meaningful travel experiences through GG2W aligns perfectly with the needs of women seeking support and enrichment during significant life transitions (whether a breakup/divorce, experiencing a loss, menopause, etc.) offering a safe space for women to get to know one another, understand one another, and bond while they explore new places and cultures.
• The significant surge in women’s solo tours reflects a historical shift in female empowerment, financial stability (54% of affluent female travellers earning over $250,000), and purchasing influence (33% of U.S. millionaires are women). Today, women are embracing solo travel with newfound independence, no longer reliant on spouses, family members, or even girlfriends to see the world with—they are going it alone but safely in a group of like-minded journeywomen.
• GG2W curates retreats where women can not only explore new destinations but also connect deeply with themselves and each other. Specialized GG2W trips like the Mind, Body, and Soul Retreat in Fiji, and Capturing Joy in Todos Santos and Uruguay: The Haven Wander Writing Retreat offer focused wellness and personal development opportunities. These trips are designed to help women return home with a renewed sense of purpose and a better understanding of their place in the world.

Travel can be a powerful tool for personal growth, healing, and lifelong connection.

The post Arizona’s Amazing Museums appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Arizona offers a wide variety of museums with interactive exhibits that showcase the state’s history and culture in both informative and engaging manners. From cowboy collections to American Indian exhibits to quirky, off-the-beaten path displays, there is an Arizona museum to match any interest. Here are a few fascinating exhibits visitors can experience.

American Indian History
There are 22 American Indian tribes in Arizona and many encourage travellers to visit their communities to experience their culture and museums. In Northern Arizona, the Navajo Nation welcomes visitors to learn about their history and traditions at the Navajo Interactive Museum in Tuba City where guests can learn the Nation’s creation stories and step inside a traditional Navajo hogan. Venture into the nearby Navajo Code Talkers Exhibit, which honours the significant role Navajo marines played in WWII, using the Navajo language to pass on uncrackable coded military messages. Next, travel to Eastern Arizona to the White Mountain Apache Tribe and the White Mountain Apache Cultural Center and Museum to explore the Tribe’s heritage through artefacts, oral stories and local artwork. Before exploring in Phoenix or Scottsdale, venture to the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation in Central Arizona to see traditional woven baskets and clothing of the Yavapai people at the Yavapai Nation Cultural Center/Museum in Fort McDowell.

Spend a day in Phoenix observing traditional and contemporary American Indian art at the internationally acclaimed Heard Museum. While in Flagstaff, take a break from hiking or skiing to spot stunning American Indian artefacts and art at the Native Peoples of the Colorado Plateau exhibit in the Museum of Northern Arizona which represents ten tribes of the Colorado Plateau displaying their various tools, pottery and folk craft. Southern Arizona offers travellers various American Indian museums in or near Tucson including Mission Garden, an agricultural museum of heritage and traditional local heirloom crops, and the Amerind Museum in Dragoon, a vast collection of American Indian artefacts such as indigenous dolls, games and jewellery.

Western Art and Culture
Embrace the Wild West by learning about cowboys, the ranch lifestyle and their long-lasting impact at immersive Western museums. Mosey around Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West to explore the essence of the West through cowboy gear, native pottery, Western film posters and southwestern paintings. Uncover the history and diverse stories of the Old West at Desert Caballeros Western Museum in Wickenburg, a vast collection of artefacts and art including an art exhibit dedicated to showcasing women western artists’ artwork that can be purchased by visitors. In the famous outlaw town of Tombstone, stop by Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park that now serves as a museum to learn about the town’s famous gunfights and iconic cowboys such as Doc Holiday and Wyatt Earp.

Mining History and Culture
Unearth Arizona’s mining history and culture to understand the importance of copper and mining towns to the state’s growth. Become a miner roaming the tunnels for copper and minerals while at the Bisbee Mining and Historical Museum, a former mining town that has transformed into an artist hotspot. Here learn about the mining process, see mining tools and observe how copper helped revolutionise technology. Stop by Jerome to visit the Douglas Mansion, a historic home originally built for mining officials that was transformed into the Jerome State Historic Park; a museum to preserve the town’s mining history. While copper is best known for its efficient properties, the Arizona Copper Art Museum in Clarkdale invites visitors to see the beauty of copper with its art-like gallery displays of the many different art forms of the precious metal with more than 5,000 copper art pieces.

Historic Route 66
Learn the history of Route 66 just in time for the historic route’s centennial anniversary in 2026 by cruising along Arizona’s portion of the Mother Road and taking in vibrant collections of classic Americana memorabilia. Journey into Kingman to experience the Arizona Route 66 Museum located within the historic Powerhouse building that displays the route’s evolution. The museum’s artefacts, murals and dioramas showcase the history of how Route 66 went from thriving to almost extinction before being revived in recent decades. After seeing the route’s past, get a glimpse at the future of transportation at the Route 66 Electric Vehicle (EV) Museum, the world’s first electric vehicle museum offering 28 vintage electric vehicles and EV educational information. Continue down the road to see the Hackberry General Store, a store with vintage gas pumps and cars before visiting the Delgadillo’s historic gift shop in Seligman, both unofficial museums that reveal Route 66 history.

Quirky Collections
Expect the unexpected at these peculiar museums that ignite visitors’ curiosity with their eccentric exhibits. Fans of fossils, dinosaurs and potty humour will all enjoy roaming around the Poozeum in Williams, a new free museum dedicated to dinosaur poop, scientifically known as coprolite. Visitors will be pleasantly surprised to discover that the world’s largest collection of Last Supper art resides in the small town of Douglas at the Last Supper Museum. See the iconic Last Supper depicted in every medium from paintings to sculptures. In Tombstone, there is a museum dedicated to the world’s largest rose bush, the Rose Tree Museum where visitors can get a glimpse into what life was like in the rowdy town of Tombstone before being awe-struck by the approximately 9,000 square feet rosebush.

The Arts
Patrons of the arts seeking to get lost in paintings, music compositions or photo galleries must stop by Arizona’s museums that highlight the beauty of the arts. Hear music from all around the world at the Music Instrument Museum (MIM) in Phoenix, the world’s only global music instrument museum where visitors can see and hear over 8,000 instruments from more than 200 countries. Spot desert landscapes, contemporary pieces and abstract sculptures at the Phoenix Art Museum, the largest art museum in the southwest with pop culture exhibits, a fashion collection and an immersive light art room.

Spend time strolling around the Tucson Museum of Art’s centennial celebration exhibit, Time Travelers: Foundations, Transformations and Expansion at the Centennial, which showcases the museum’s growth through its signature art pieces and newer additions before taking in the museum’s vast collection of Latin American inspired art. Get a peek inside the mind of legendary Arizona artist Ettore “Ted” DeGrazia at the De Grazia Gallery in the Sun Museum, an adobe art gallery the artist created to display his Southwestern-inspired masterpieces exactly as he envisioned. The walls of the University of Arizona’s Tucson Center for Creative Photography tell countless stories thanks to its rotating photo exhibits of the world renowned photographers work.
