Adventure Getaways Biography
Winter-Cast for Trout, Colorado
No self-respecting fly fisherman lets a little thing like winter get in the way of tossing a nymph into a mountain stream. The fishing guides at the Lodge at Vail understand—and encourage—such obsessiveness with their Reel Winter trip ($1,797 for two; www.lodgeatvail.com), a three-day fly-fishing trip that includes lodging, gourmand-worthy meals, and a half day of guided fishing on the free-flowing, trout-stuffed Eagle River. For an emergency post-fishing warm-up, crack open the house-provided bottle of single-malt Scotch.
Escape Las Vegas, Nevada
Just a half hour from Sin City is singletrack central: Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is laced with folds of flaming ocher sandstone and more than a hundred miles of smooth-sailing desert trails at all levels of challenge. Make a weekend of it by teaming up with Escape Adventures ($390; www.escapeadventures.com), which houses riders at the historic Bonnie Springs Ranch, the only hostelry in the preserve, and guides them along the 15-mile (24-kilometer) Old Spanish Trail, a precipitous path hugging the base of a 2,000-foot-high (610-meter-high) red-rock fault line.
Ski the High Uintas, Utah
The backcountry section of Utah's 1.2-million-acre (485,623-hectare) Wasatch-Cache National Forest is so resolutely vehicle free that forest service employees had to airlift in the area's newest yurt. Boundary Creek Yurt ($50; +1 307 789 1770) is one of five huts set high on the slopes of the Uinta Mountains two hours north of Salt Lake City. Skiing distances between the woodstove-heated yurts range from two to six miles (three to ten kilometers), and the trail, which penetrates thick lodgepole pine and Engleman spruce forests, rarely dips below 8,000 feet (2,438 meters).
