Ride the Rapids

Raft through Cataract Canyon in Canyonlands National Park with Wilderness River Adventures, on a trip that starts in Moab, Utah and ends at Hite Marina on Lake Powell. Raft on 49 miles of calm water, hike to cliffs and then experience the rapids. Now for the first time, Wilderness River Adventures will fly parties of five or more who participate in the four- and five-day trips back to Moab for free. Visit www.riveradventures.com/cataract-rates/index.cfm for details. 

Beer Bash in Bavaria

It's all about beer with an Abercrombie and Kent trip to Bavaria along with the Sam Adams folks. The trip is July 30 to August 6 and includes a tour of the German Hops Museum, a visit to Munich beer gardens and a trip to the farm where the hops are grown for Sam Adams Boston Lager. There are plenty of non-beer related stops as well, including a cable car trip to the top of the highest mountain in Germany. Check it out at www.AbercrombieandKent.com/SamAdams for further details and booking information.

Feel good about your beach bag when you carry this recycled burlap sack from The Organik, a Hawaiian-base company whose designs are inspired by nature and art. The Beach Bum is made from Kona coffee sacks and sales support local coffee farmers. Check out their "threads from the earth" as well at www.theorganik.com. The Beach Bum bag is $40.
