UNITED STATES + CANADA

The United States contains within its borders the deep woods of Maine and the Everglades of Florida, the snowy peaks of Colorado and the sun-scorched deserts of Arizona. When Chicago is buried under snow, the rosé is on ice, poolside, in Los Angeles. And as well as booming, hypermodern urban areas, the country has cities like Boston that are close to 400 years old.

Canada is full of wide-open spaces and exhilarating natural scenery. The rustic lodges of British Columbia and Alberta rival the best that Montana and Wyoming can offer. Above the Maine border lie the dramatic landscapes of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. In contrast, Toronto and Montréal offer European elegance enlivened by dozens of vibrant ethnic enclaves.
