URBACITY
This year's challenge is top secret,
but previous activities in this kooky

Segway-riding, paddle-boarding
and noodle-eating. Proceeds go
toward fighting prostate cancer.

ROCKIES BY RAIL
Sure, you can drive to Banff, but why not avoid nine hours of navigating
twisty mountain roads? Instead, kick back and discover the Canadian
Rockies by rail onboard Rocky Mountaineer's glass-dome coaches. Take
in unobstructed views of snow-capped peaks and rushing rivers that you
could never see from a vehicle – while attentive Onboard Hosts serve
gourmet meals. The company's seven-night Western Explorer package
includes two days on the luxury train, visits to Jasper, Lake Louise, Banff
and the Columbia Icefield, and a helicopter tour. rockymountaineer.com
