Our next Bite-Sized Backroads Trip is here! We're definitely feeling the urge to get out in some wide open spaces right about now, and Utah is one of our favorite escapes!

Continuing with our series of videos specially made to bring a bit of the Backroads travel world right to your home, we asked Trip Leader and Tetons local Ed Krajsky to show us his Wyoming backyard, and what an epic place it is!

In the spirit of traveling virtually from our homes, we asked Trip Leader Tommaso Spinelli to take us to his home country of Italy and one of its most famous treasures: the Cinque Terre.

Continuing with our series of videos specially made to bring a bit of the Backroads travel world right to your home, we asked former Trip Leader (and now Regional Manager) Pam Fritz to take us on a virtual trip to the land of "Pura Vida": Costa Rica!

In honor of Mother's Day and all the inspirational, kind and strong moms who keep things running smoothly (both at Backroads and in life!), we wanted to shine a spotlight on one of our favorite moms in our Backroads community. Meet Alison Iles, a former Trip Leader and current mom of two champion mountain-bikers in Canada.

While the world has been transformed in big ways, I can confidently say that when this is all said and done, the essence of a Backroads trip will remain unchanged. I say this because, without quite realizing it, we’ve spent the past 40 years crafting our own style of active travel that has now turned out to be more resonant—and necessary—than ever.

We asked Trip Leader Elle Lichter to take us on a virtual trip to France’s world-famous Loire Valley to share her insights and behind-the-scenes info from this beautiful corner of Europe, and satisfy just a bit of your wanderlust!

Continuing with our series of videos specially made to bring a bit of the Backroads travel world right to your home, we asked longtime Backroads guest Tara Hitchcock to take us on a virtual trip to Canada's hidden gem province of Nova Scotia.

With so many of us home and unable to travel at the moment, we thought it would be nice to bring a bit of the magic of travel (and one of our favorite national parks!) right to you and your family. So we asked Trip Leader Russell Grange to take us on a "Bite-Sized Backroads Trip" to California's epic Yosemite National Park

There's no doubt about it—these are difficult times. As I write this, I'm at my home in the Bay Area with my wife Liz and the kids. Like everyone else in California and so many others worldwide, we are sheltering in place and learning to adapt to new realities that would have seemed hard to believe just a short time ago.
