The open road is part permission, part invitation. A trip through the desert southwest is a journey meant to be taken slowly. Powered by @lightshiprv , we embarked on a three-day jaunt with two intrepid roadtrippers through this iconic landscape, into the mountains discovering public lands, roadside classics, cultural landmarks, and scenic drives along the way. ✨Watch “The Electric Roadtrip” at the link in bio.

At the western reaches of Deer Isle, across a seafoam-green bridge that ties it to Downeast Maine, Aragosta at Goose Cove is destination dining at its far-flung finest.

In her debut cookbook, “A Kitchen on Goose Cove: Recipes From the Heart of Maine,” Finigan shares her vision for cooking in rhythm with the seasons, detailing accessible recipes that capture the taste of Maine.

Not more than half a century ago, Sedona had barely more than 2,000 residents. The desert hamlet was better known as the backdrop for Westerns like Johnny Guitar than for spiritual quests. But the discovery of underground water, which helped support a tourism boom that began in the ’60s, put Sedona literally and figuratively on the map. Today, the Arizona destination surrounded by redrock beauty sits at the intersection of two roads, which make it a prime location for RV exploration. Fall under the spell of Sedona’s magnetic landscapes and undeniable aura in @paullunderwood ’s story; link in bio. 📸 @jesserieser

A year ago, we released our field guide to Western Carolina. Where? Basically, the fine city of Asheville and the mountain country all around, a place imbued with a specific and special cultural history. It’s rich territory for curious travelers, from booming contemporary food and arts scenes to all kinds of throwback lore and woodsy trails. There was a big behind-the-scenes story on this project, too: In the wake of Hurricane Helene, our local contributors and other friends really went the extra mile to make this guide happen.
