Tootsie's Orchid Lounge
Nashville is known for its eclectic music scene, live entertainment and commitment to country. No place is this more evident than at the world-famous Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge. The Nashville institution for nightlife and honky tonk has been a part of this dynamic city since the 1960s.
Its namesake is drawn from the lilac colored exterior, but Tootsie’s is more than just a Nashville lounge. Home to three stages that play host to live music and performers almost every night, visitors are as likely to catch an up-and-coming local strumming the steel guitar as they are a big name musician like Taylor Swift. Tootsie’s long-standing tradition of drawing country music super stars dates back to the days of Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. Even the contemporary country singer Terri Clark got her big start on the stages at Tootsie’s.
Visitors can opt to spend an entire evening at this downtown Nashville staple, or make a stop as part of a Nashville Bar Pass or Nashville Evening tour that highlights the best of honky tonk in this country music capital.

Thurston Lava Tube
Located within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the Thurston Lava Tube is the most accessible lava tube on the Big Island. Discovered in 1913, this 500-year-old tube was created by subterranean lava that once flowed through this young section of earth. Today, the tube is illuminated to create an eerie glow for visitors who venture inside.
The Basics
The Thurston Lava Tube, also known as Nahuku, is one of several points of interest located along the park’s Crater Rim Drive. From the parking area, a 15- to 20-minute walk leads down through a fern forest to the cave-like tube. The tube features on just about every guided tour of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, as well as circle island and volcano-themed tours of the Big Island.
Things to Know Before You Go
- The Thurston Lava Tube is a must-visit for first-time park visitors and anyone with an interest in volcanology.
- Watch your head: There are some low spots within the 600-foot (183-meter) tube.
- Bring a flashlight to take a closer look at some of the cave’s natural features.
- Be sure to wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking over uneven surfaces.
- The Thurston Lava Tube is not wheelchair accessible, though there are accessible restrooms in the parking area.
How to Get There
The easiest way to reach the lava tube is to drive. The parking area and trailhead leading down to the tube sits 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) past the park entrance on Crater Rim Drive. From there, a short trail (0.3 miles or 0.5 kilometers) leads to the tube entrance.
When to Get There
Since the Thurston Lava Tube is one of the most accessible, and therefore most popular, natural features within the park, it’s a good idea to head there first thing in the morning to explore the tube with fewer people.
Other Attractions of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
If you’re visiting the national park independently, there are several notable points of interest you won’t want to miss. Smell the sulfurous gases of the volcano at Sulphur Banks, breathe in the warmth at the Steam Vents, take in the lunar-like landscapes of Devastation Trail, hike across the floor of Kilauea Iki crater, and watch the glow of the active volcano from the Jaggar Museum observatory.

Visitors to Tongass National Forest have an enormous array of activities and experiences to choose from: bird-watching, trekking, fishing (there are five species of salmon here, among other fish), camping, visiting glaciers, lake canoeing, off-roading and just relishing pure fresh air and pristine natural beauty. In fact, there are 17,000 miles (27,359 kilometers) of lakes, creeks and rivers to enjoy within the forest. Wildlife is also prevalent, with chances to view otters, brown and black bears, wolves, eagles and Sitka black-tailed deer.

If you ever wondered what California might have looked like before so many people decided to call it home, Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve provides a glimpse back in time.
This wild stretch of 2,000 acres provide a living, growing picture of what San Diego looked like before it was developed. Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve is home to miles of beaches, chaparral plants, Torrey pine trees and a lagoon used by migrating seabirds. There are eight miles of trails and a Visitor Center. Free, docent led, tours are given on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays at 10am and 2pm. They run an hour to an hour and a half in length.

Tombstone
A visit to Tombstone is like taking a trip back to the Old West. Called by some “The West’s Most Famous Town,” Tombstone, Arizona, was founded in 1877 when word spread of a silver strike.
The famous Gunfight at the OK Corral occurred in Tombstone in 1881. At its peak the town’s population was estimated between 15 and 20 thousand people with more than one hundred saloons, many restaurants, schools, churches and one of the first public swimming pools in Arizona. (It’s still used today.) When silver mining stopped in the early 1930s, the population dwindled to around 150 people.
Today, Tombstone is a living town that uses its history to offer a snapshot of Wild West history with shows, museums and mine tours.
Practical Info
Businesses in Tombstone are individually owned and operated and set their own hours, but most are open seven days a week. Tombstone is approximately 180 miles from the Phoenix area, so plan for about three hours in the car. The drive is about 90 minutes from Tucson. Tombstone is dog friendly and many merchants offer water dishes outside of their businesses.

Three Sisters Island
In Niagara Falls State Park, three footbridges link Goat Island to the Three Sisters Islands. From there, you can see impressive views of the rapids of the Niagara River racing toward the falls. It’s a peaceful place to take a walk amid the highly popular park and town of Niagara Falls, New York.
The Basics
The islands are named after Celinda, Angelina, and Asenath Whitney, the daughters of General Parkhurst Whitney, an early settler in Niagara Falls. He and his daughters are believed to have been the first settlers to visit all three of these islands, before a bridge connected them. Spray from the falls makes the parkland here particularly rich with plant life.
The Three Sisters Islands are a peaceful and pretty place to walk when touring Niagara Falls State Park. Guided tours of Niagara Falls often make a detour to the islands, or allow for some free time, during which you can visit.
Things to Know Before You Go
- There is no entry fee to enter Niagara Falls State Park or the Three Sisters Islands.
- Bicycles can be rented in the Niagara Falls State Park and are a good way of getting to the Three Sisters Islands.
- There are several parking lots beside the park. They tend to fill up quickly on weekends and holidays.
How to Get There
The Three Sisters Islands are to the southeast of Goat Island. They can only be reached by footbridge from Goat Island, which is itself on the southern edge of Niagara Falls State Park. The parking lots around the park get busy at the weekends and during holidays, so if staying in or near Buffalo, an alternative way of reaching the park is by bus no. 40.
When to Get There
The Niagara Falls area sees very heavy snowfall in winter. While the falls themselves can be visited at any time of year, access to Goat Island and the Three Sisters Islands is blocked once snow falls in the winter, usually by late November through to March.

Torrey Pines Golf Course
Overlooking the Pacific Ocean from the coastal bluffs of La Jolla, Torrey Pines Golf Course is not only a scenic spot to play a round of golf, but also one of the top courses in the country, having hosted the Farmers Insurance Open on the PGA Tour since the 1960s, among other tournaments. The municipally owned Torrey Pines is, in fact, home to two 18-hole courses, the north and the south courses, both designed by legendary course architect William P. Bell. Of the two, the south course is the most challenging and in demand among expert golfers; however, hole No. 6 on the north course is Torrey Pines’ signature hole.
Practical Info
In addition to its famed courses, Torrey Pines is also home to one of the largest on-course golf shops in the country, and for visitors looking to improve their golf game, its golf schools offer expert instruction with private lessons and video swing analysis. Tee times must be reserved. Advanced booking fees start at $30 for residents, $43 for non-residents, and greens fees range from $40 to $229, depending on the course, residency, date and time.

Tioga Pass
Tioga Pass is the only entrance on the eastern side of Yosemite National Park. At 9,941 feet high, it is the highest point on the mountain drive and one of the most scenic in the park. Views of the surrounding forests and mountains are worth the drive alone, but if you’re after one of the park’s many hiking trails the trailheads for Gaylor Peak, Tioga Peak, and the Twenty Lake Loop are all nearby. For a less active experience, Tioga Lake offers picnic facilities and trout fishing close by.
Driving to and through the Tioga Pass is an adventure: full of tight curves and steep drop-offs. But you’ll be rewarded with some of the most beautiful views in Yosemite Valley, and once you reach the pass you’ll be in the park itself. The road through the Sierra Nevada mountain range is the highest highway pass in California.
Practical Info
You can find Tioga Pass six miles east of Tuolumne Meadows on Highway 120. Pending weather conditions, Tioga Pass does close during some parts of the year (typically November to March.) Be sure you have enough gas in your car before driving to the pass, as there is limited supply around the park.

The altitude ranges from 1,300 to 7,900 feet (396 to 2,408 meters), allowing for diverse flora, fauna and landscapes throughout.
