Hilton Head Island is a foot-shaped barrier island located off the Atlantic Coast of South Carolina, approximately 45 miles north of Savannah, Georgia, 90 miles south of Charleston, South Carolina and 30 miles south of historic Beaufort, South Carolina. The 12-mile long and 5-mile wide island was the first Eco-planned destination in the United States.

Lying on the Intracoastal Waterway, Hilton Head Island encompasses 42 square miles of semi-tropical, Low Country geography. The Island's pristine natural environment offers a relaxing, hospitable atmosphere with subtle signage and no neon lights. Fertile salt marshes, networks of lagoons and creeks, forests of moss-draped oaks, magnolias, pines, palmettos and 12 miles of sandy beaches are interspersed with championship golf courses, tennis courts, fine restaurants and luxurious hotels, resorts and private villa accommodations.

Reno, Nevada

Think Reno adventure and often people think blackjack and 24-hour neon lights. However, few think about the more than 960 miles of mountain biking and hiking trails, 300-plus days of sunshine, in addition to outdoor adventure from water activities to hang gliding and more than 50 golf courses within 90 minutes of the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. In other words, Reno-Tahoe takes its claim as America’s Adventure Place seriously.

Having Lake Tahoe and several other surrounding lakes in proximity to downtown Reno, vacationers will find a plethora of water activities. From boating and testing out the latest watercraft toys to canoeing, sailing and fishing, Reno-Tahoe offers it all, plus a whitewater park in the heart of downtown Reno. The park is both Nevada’s and the region’s first whitewater park and kayak slalom racing course and invites kayak enthusiasts of all abilities to test out the water.
