The Road Trip issue (#3, Summer 2021)

I’m sure you’ve felt this as we head into the second half of the year: There’s an unsurprising and universal yearning to “get out of town.” Traveling feels like a collective tug on a relief valve. We may not know exactly where we’re all going yet, but we’re going. 

In the pages of our road trip issue, you’ll find info and inspiration to help you figure out where to go on your next trip. The classic road trip experiences that defined generations are awaiting our mass return. We highlighted eight quintessentials that are just as relevant today as ever. If you’re looking for a different kind of route, we explore two American icons — I’m talking about Tennessee’s whiskey and Wisconsin’s cheese — and have recommendations for classic summer and fall getaways, perfect places for weekend treks. There’s good news to celebrate in this issue as well: new hotels are opening. We’ve highlighted 10 notables along with photo essays, guides, recommendations and everything else you could want to dream and go on your next road trip.
