Slow Travel. Authentic Experiences. In my reading on the Internet, these buzzwords appear in almost every article that dissects boomer travel habits. Where do you find these authentic adventures?

Boomer photographers traveling in the Kootenay Rockies will want to schedule a photo stop at the Slocan Overlook. That’s where Alan took this photograph during a boomer sports car road trip on The Selkirk Loop in British Columbia, Canada. The view of Slocan Lake weaving through the snow-capped mountains reminded us of our cruise through […]

Is it possible to drive the Alpine Loop on a one-day itinerary? Yes, it is. Alan and I enjoyed this scenic drive on trip to southwestern Colorado. The Alpine Loop in the San Juan Mountains introduces off-roaders to high-country scenery and Colorado mining history. It’s best explored on a 2 or 3-day Alpine Loop itinerary […]
Does this photo from Hamilton, Montana’s Saturday market look familiar to our baby boomer readers? That’s right, I used it for last year’s 4th of July Saturday’s scene. Why am I posting it again? Because it’s my favorite photo depicting small town Independence Day celebrations — the kind that will be happening across the U.S. […]
Alan and I received our first baby boomer introduction to the beauties of British Columbia on a Tauck tour of the Canadian Rockies.
