(It also released an intriguing “No List” — the top places to avoid. We’ll delve into that next week.)

The “Go List” is a diverse one, with everything from bustling downtown Los Angeles and cosmopolit­an Montreal to Bears Ears National Monument, the Nile River and Australia’s sacred Uluru. And it has paid special attention to regions, such as Puerto Rico, where natural disasters inflicted such devastatio­n last year. Puerto Rico, Key West and St. Martin all made the list.

“The beauty of the world is immeasurab­le, while its disasters teach us powerful lessons about nature and about ourselves,” Fodors.com editorial director Jeremy Tarr said in the announceme­nt. “This year’s lists celebrate travel’s ethos of curiosity, openminded­ness and wonder that makes us alive and in touch with our world.” One of the nation’s newest national monuments, Utah’s Bears Ears, is among the baker’s dozen of top North American destinatio­ns, chosen for its rugged beauty, cultural history and sacred meaning for the Navajo, Hopi and other tribes. New Orleans’ colorful Bywater, in the Ninth Ward, is included, along with Tucson and its vivid adobes, Sonoran Desert landscapes and arts scene. And Key West, which has rebounded from its pummeling last summer by Hurricane Irma, is a sunny, idyllic travel dream once more. Here’s Fodor’s list of the 13top North American destinatio­ns.
