While it may feel like the USA is teeming with people and urban sprawl, it's also home to glorious stretches of wide open spaces. If you want to unwind away from bright city lights, consider going off-grid and disappearing into the night sky for a few days. The Dark Sky Organization has designated more than 60 Dark Sky Places in the USA. These are all places where star viewing is magical thanks to minimal light pollution.

The stuffed sopapilla on the menu at Salsa Brava immediately caught my eye. Plenty of restaurants in the Southwest have sopapillas on the menu. They’re usually pillows of fried dough, often with sweet fillings. But Salsa Brava’s stuffed sopapilla looked to be big and savory, filled with smoky chicken, made with “traditional frybread” — and listed on the part of the menu titled “What Guy Ate.”That would be Guy Fieri of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives fame.

I recently traveled to Flagstaff, Arizona, and stayed at a great property. I'd heard about the elevated motor lodge on Route 66, so I jumped at the chance to stay there. The High Country Motor Lodge, located directly on historic Route 66, is a stylish, comfortable retreat that checks all the boxes. What once was a tired chain motel has been transformed into a slick and modern oasis, thanks to a $13 Million Renovation in 2022. The 123 guest rooms are plush.
