Family ready to travel again? Try one of these spots

- By Lynn O’Rourke Hayes

Families are emerging from their pandemic bubbles and planning travel once again. Here are four ideas to consider.

The Point, Saranac Lake, New York: For an over-thetop return to travel experience, consider a stay at The Point, an intimate lakefront private Adirondack estate that was originally built as a Great Camp for William

Avery Rockefelle­r II. Imagine a luxurious twist on an old-school summer camp experience with activities that might include boating, fishing, tennis, water skiing, croquet, badminton and swimming.

Jackson County, North Carolina: With more than 3,000 miles of trout streams and 1,100 miles of hatchery-supported trout waters in the mountains alone, North Carolina is a fly-fishing and outdoor lover’s haven. It’s home to the nation’s only designated fly-fishing trail (Western North Carolina Fly Fishing Trail) that leads anglers to 15 prime spots in the Great Smoky Mountains to cast a line.

Hike and raft in the West: Join Western River Expedition­s for an outdoor adventure that blends the best of whitewater rafting with extraordin­ary hikes, many of which are only accessible via a river. Consider a Cataract

Canyon run through the heart of Canyonland­s National Park for the scenery and whitewater thrills.

Explore the California coast: Located at the northern end of Monterey Bay, on 19 acres of Pacific shoreline, The Sanctuary Beach Resort, part of the Independen­t Collection, offers a comfortabl­e base camp to explore the scenic area or simply relax and enjoy all that the coastal location offers. Rest up in cottage-style accommodat­ions and then set out to take in the vistas from the Monterey Recreation Trail, where you can bike or skate along the shoreline. Consider spending the day exploring Big Sur, California’s famous, rugged coastline.
