TRIP OF

THE WEEK

Each week, the Dispatch Travel team highlights an interesting package sent to our inboxes. CANADA

Lynn Stowe and Luci Secord of Columbus enjoy their hike to see polar bears near Churchill, Manitoba. Practice photographing moving subjects before your trip, they say, so you can snap quickly and still get the best shots of the bears. OREGON

Chris and Janice Joos of Dublin ride in a hot-air balloon over Redmond, Oregon. Visitors need just a camera and light jacket, they say, because temperatures in the air are the same as on the ground.
