This week, we\u2019re reaching out to some of our favorite outfitters to see what they\u2019re promoting this summer and fall. Having taken the family on an Austin Adventures trip to the Canadian Rockies<\/a>, we know firsthand that Dan Austin is the King of Social Distancing. He\u2019s been creating adventures in the outdoors away from the masses for decades. Dan tells us that 60 percent of his bookings are still moving forward this summer. Popular in both 2020 and 2021 are what he calls \u201csingle stays,\u201d trips out West with just one base camp hotel. Examples include the private suites and cabins at the Rustic Inn in Jackson Hole<\/a> and Chilko Lake Lodge in British Columbia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Due to the popularity of private family trips, Austin Adventures has just partnered with the Lodges at Eagles Nest<\/a>, an executive mountain community in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Together, they\u2019ve launched Eagle\u2019s Nest Home Stays, a first-class base camp that includes guided group tours and outdoor recreational programming. Perched at 5,000 feet with 360-degree views, the Eagles Nest community is five miles from Banner Elk, in the heart of the adventure capital of North Carolina. Activities within the secluded community include hiking, cycling, horseback riding, disc golf, a ropes course, ATV and motorcycle trails, private fishing, a wine and cigar bar, and more. Off-site, travelers can raft Tennessee\u2019s famous Watuga River, or explore nearby Banner Elk.<\/p>\n

Guests interested in booking a stay at the Lodges at Eagles Nest through Austin Adventures have a variety of options, ranging from renting an executive mountain retreat with no additional services to experiencing a customized, all-inclusive stay with activity and service add-ons. \u201cWe can get you a full-time adventure guide, a personal chef, a private driver, you name it,\u201d Austin said.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Austin Adventures has also partnered with Collective Retreats<\/a> to offer all-inclusive Glamping Based Adventures. For late summer and fall of 2020 Austin is working with properties in Colorado, Texas, and the Governors Island property just outside of New York City. In 2021, Collective Retreats will be adding Montana (just outside Yellowstone) and Napa Valley, CA.<\/p>\n

ActiveTravels<\/a> is here to help you travel during these difficult times. Whether it’s regional, domestic, or international travel you crave, we’ll get you there the safest possible way.<\/p>\n
