Weight-Loss Vacation: Slimming Getaways
Vacations recharge us, but they have a downside, too. That fitness regimen we've been faithful to for months can fall by the wayside while on vacation. The solution? Engage in active travel -- the sort of adventure that burns calories without you noticing the “burn” part. With engaging ways to pass your free time set against a backdrop of jaw-dropping vistas, and a taste of local culture, these getaways will keep you so busy having fun, you will barely realize how hard your body is working.

Hoof it with a long-necked llama on the lesser-traveled trails of Carson National Forest near Taos, a lush section of the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Along ancient paths, framed by meadows of wildflowers, Llama Adventures leads hikers of all abilities on custom day hikes (complete with a gourmet picnic of locally made cheeses, fresh made charcuterie and whole grain bread). The tour also escorts travelers on multi-day camping adventures along mountain trails and into the valleys of Carson National Forest. With either option, sure-footed llamas carry your pack, so you can focus on putting one hiking boot before the other for miles and miles of mountain walking.
