Cumberland Island National Seashore

"Cumberland Island National Seashore, Georgia’s largest barrier island, is full of untouched maritime forests, beaches, and marshes. Visitors can find solitude while camping under the stars in the 9,800 acres of designated wilderness area, or can see one of the many historic sites and structures such as Dungeness (an abandoned mansion that was originally built as a hunting lodge in 1736). Access to the island is by ferry out of St. Mary’s Georgia. Reservations are recommended, as the ferries do fill up." [Travel+Leisure]

Olympic National Park

922,000-acre park featuring snow-covered mountains, lush rain forests & dramatic Pacific coastline.

"Acres of old growth forests, miles of rocky coastline, lush rainforests, and glacier-capped peaks all contribute to the spectacular diversity and remoteness that this park offers those willing to venture deep into it. Much of the park’s almost one million acres are only accessible by foot, which gives travelers a sense of solitude. In order to truly experience this park to its fullest potential, visitors should be willing to lace up their hiking boots and spend some time working their way into the depths of its wilderness."

Opened in the summer of 2015, Kevin Margitich and Doug Reeser brew in a teeny tiny space in a corner of the lodge. They never repeat a recipe, and, of the 200 or so beers they’ve produced so far, the focus mainly been IPAs and saisons. The pub room also features a food selection, meats, cheese, and the like, all sourced from farms within 15 miles, as well as an outdoor patio bar." [foodandwine.com]
