A Digital Care Package From Us To You
Now, more than ever, we need to take care of ourselves and each other.
We put together this digital care package to help you enjoy a moment of escape, teach you something new, and add a little joy to your at-home routine. Maybe even inspire a dream or two until it’s time for us to travel again.
Get Inspired by the Silver Screen
For more than 150 years, the Xanterra Travel Collection® has been operating in legendary destinations — many of which have been the backdrop for some of the world’s most beloved movies.
North by Northwest
Mount Rushmore has always put its best faces forward in movies, but the national memorial is synonymous with this Alfred Hitchcock classic starring Cary Grant.
Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid
Most of this Academy Award-winning movie was filmed in Zion National Park. (We can neither confirm nor deny if Robert Redford stayed at Zion National Park Lodge.)
Star Wars: A New Hope
When George Lucas was looking to take moviegoers to another galaxy, he turned to Death Valley to provide perfect other-worldly landscapes for the first Star Wars movie.
National Lampoon’s Vacation
In this hilarious road trip movie, keep an eye out for when Clark Griswold makes yet another questionable decision at El Tovar Hotel at Grand Canyon National Park.
Mix Things Up with New Recipes
If you’ve already taken up breadmaking, gone through all your Pinterest recipes, or you’re tired of your old favorites, we thought you might like a little culinary inspiration straight from Xanterra’s kitchens.
Aperol Spritz
Start things off with this refreshing aperitif, a popular Windstar ritual that will whet your appetite. Close your eyes and you can almost feel warm ocean breezes.
Vietnamese Soup
Warm, nutritious, warming to the body and the soul. Enjoy VBT’ s mouth-watering take on a classic Vietnamese dish that’s also simple to make.
Moose Drool Braised Bison Short Ribs
Don’t worry, neither moose nor drool is required in this Yellowstone National Park Lodges recipe. Named for the famous local brown ale it’s made with, this guest favorite is the perfect comfort food.
Pork Posole & Chicory Beignets
Take your taste buds on a tour, from the Tex-Mex flavors of San Antonio to a couple of New Orleans classics. A mouthwatering adventure without leaving your kitchen table.
A Window Into Another World
You can’t embrace the views of Glacier National Park in person, or wind your way down the Colorado River, or inhale the natural beauty of the Cotswolds. But you can dive into a good long read that will whisk you away on a virtual adventure that just might make you feel like you’re right there.
Rafting the Colorado River
“Who knew you could find Hawaii in the Grand Canyon?” See how a trip down the Colorado River can be life-changing in this blog post.
