FROM THE EDITOR
Different, but Not Less
A two-week trip to New
Zealand boils down to
this hike that I begged for.
Waivers. Phone calls. ∏hirty hours
of travel. And now, on the day of, my
guide is red-fl agging my clothing.
“Didn’t you bring anything warm?”
Before us are my pack’s contents: a
ski coat and pants; sweats and socks.
“No merino wool?” he asks.
“Cotton is cold when it’s wet.”
Wet? Nobody mentioned wet.
A mile into the hike my guide
marches through a river. I crouch to
remove my shoes and socks.
“Don’t bother,” he says. “∏hree
more river crossings are ahead.”
My shoes squeak as the path goes
vertical. Four hours later, a view of
Crucible Lake is ours and ours alone.
∏riumph. And I’m shivering.
When I thaw out, I tackle another
hike, one I didn’t have to beg for. Its
path is wide. My shoes stay dry. Just
40 minutes in, I share a view of the
Rob Roy Glacier with dozens of hik-
ers. ∏riumph. And I’m warm.
For years, I’ve risked more and trav-
eled farther for greater rewards. ∏his
issue offers shortcuts. A ∏ahiti-like
trip a few hours from Miami (page
38). A colony of elephant seals just a
ferry ride from Santa Barbara (page
37). Great escapes right under your
nose. Just be sure to keep it warm.

THE FASTEST
ROUTES TO
EXOTIC-NESS
See the islands on the map
above? ∏ hey’re all less than
three hours from the mainland
U.S., or one nonstop flight away.
So is the place pictured below.
Hint: It rhymes with Piji.
It seems so
un- Islands . In a
lake, three hours from
Houston? But this has
swordfish, volcanoes
and giant toads.

These exotic
escapes don’t
require a passport. A
full tank of gas maybe.
