Welcome!

This website was created by Lisa Meyers McClintick, an award-winning travel writer/photographer based in Minnesota, the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

It’s mostly dedicated to travel features throughout Minnesota and the Upper Midwest or within driving distance of the region.

You’ll find features about stellar state and national parks, tucked-away resorts, local foods such as wild rice, quirky attractions, hands-on learning vacations, memorable family destinations, and outdoor playgrounds for every season.

I hope you enjoy what’s here, and I encourage you to chime in with requests for a particular region or topic you’d like to read about. Contact Lisa at lmcclintick at charter-dot-net.

Special thanks to my husband, Bob, who holds down the fort when I’m traveling; my parents, Lyn and Rik, for their welcoming northern Minnesota outpost; and my three-kid review crew. After being hauled on countless road trips, they’re close to pros.

Happy travels!
