These bacheloret­te party destinatio­ns will delight any group of nature lovers

- By Ebony Williams

Peak wedding season starts in May, which means it’s time to start planning bacheloret­te parties. Las Vegas, Nashville and Miami are most common for the bacheloret­te scene. But if you and your crew are fans of the outdoors or want something unique, these three ideas can be just as fun as partying in a bar.

Sedona, Arizona: Although there aren’t white sandy beaches, Sedona has red sand and rocks that make for a lovely backdrop for any picture. If you’re looking for a fun, laid-back vibe or thrill-seeking adventure, this is the place to be. Rent a pink Jeep and explore the mountains, or take a spa day at one of the many resorts. If you and your friends want a night out, Scottsdale is only a two-hour drive away, with venues bustling with bacheloret­te festivitie­s.

Stowe, Vermont: The Green Mountain State is known for many small towns and their charms. Edson Hill, a popular resort that hosts bacheloret­te and wedding parties, is a boutique luxury hotel sitting on 38 acres. It features a five-star restaurant, spas, brew tours and an adventure package.

Whether you stay at a resort or in a cabin, be sure to venture out and experience all Stowe has to offer, from trails to waterfalls, before diving into the local art and food scenes.

Big Sur, California: Big Sur is camping in style, with endless beauty of the mountains and crisp air. It offers a cozy experience filled with hiking, food and glamping. When you’re tired of smelling like firewood and want to relax elsewhere, you can walk one of the many trails or take a short ride to the coast and enjoy the secluded beaches.
