to enjoy the abundance of plant and wildlife diversity. Each season changes the scenic vistas, so there is never a wrong time to plan a visit. Hiking is one of the most popular pastimes in the park, and there are trails for every age and experience level - the most challenging part is deciding which route you want to explore. Two of the most popular hikes in the area are Laurel Falls and Abrams Falls. Named for the mountain laurel that grows along the trail, Laurel Falls Trail is the longest paved trail in the park. The majestic view of the two-part waterfall makes this 2.6-mile hike worth every step. A moderate five-mile hike will get you to the largest falls in the park, Abrams Falls. Despite being only 20 feet tall, Abrams Falls is breathtaking because of the large volume of water rushing over the edge. FILL YOUR PLATE Located on the beautifully wooded Maryville College Campus, RT Lodge, the historic 26-room home of Susan Wiley Walker has been transformed into a hotel and restaurant. Everyone will enjoy the rustic setting, and foodies will rejoice in their menu. Everything is made in-house including their famous pickles, pimento cheese, and buttermilk fried chicken. Take note of the seasonal specialties and after your meal, explore a bit of the delightful property. For something more casual visit Apple Valley Mountain Lodge for a meal the whole family will enjoy. If a good beer selection is more your style, The Abbey is a sure thing. A wedding chapel transformed into a restaurant, The Abbey also has beautiful outdoor seating along the Little River, great pizza, and serves up several local brews. RELAX Ever wanted to go glamping, stay in a tiny home, or have a fully decked-out luxury cabin? Little Arrow Outdoor Resort offers all those options and more in the picturesque foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Great for large groups and families, the resort has amenities kids will love like an onsite playground, pool, and splash pad. Outdoor fire pits and grates are standard at each site, and the resort offers plenty of fun programming during peak season. Access to hiking, rafting, and dining is effortless from their easy-to-find location on the Little River. DISCOVER BYGONE DAYS Cades Cove Loop, located in the national park, is an 11-mile, one-way loop road offering motorists an opportunity to take in the outdoor museum from their vehicle. There are three churches, a working gristmill, barns, log houses, and other restored structures that visitors can tour. A typical tour takes about two hours and is generally busy during peak season and on weekends. Allow yourself enough time to take in everything, including the abundance of wildlife found along the loop. The Great Smoky Mountain Heritage Center is also worth a stop to learn about the history of the Southern Appalachians and the Native Americans that inhabited the area. CityLifestyle.com/Memorial

THE POWER OF POSITIVITY (CONTINUED) Together they designed a pendant honoring the late Cameron Gooch, a child the couple became close to through the Correa Family Foundation. "We designed a pendant in his honor, and through the collaboration, we were able to raise a lot of money that will ultimately benefit other children dealing with cancer. There were only 17 pendants made globally, which is special because it was Cameron's honorary Astros baseball jersey number." Although the past year has been a bit slower for the couple’s foundation, they are looking forward to another collaboration with Fabergé later this year and getting back to in-person events. Aside from their work with childhood caner, they are also committed to helping their communities as different needs arise. Ever passionate about Puerto Rico, Carlos has stepped up through several natural disasters his island home has gone through recently, and Daniella launched her makeup line, Sweet D by Daniella Correa in March. "I've been thrilled with the outcome and so grateful at how receptive people have been with Sweet D. I am looking forward to launching more products later this summer." Over the past few years, we've had front row seats as the Correa's relationship unfolded. As Houstonians, we can only hope their dedication to helping others and the business of baseball keep them firmly planted in Houston.

Explore National Parks Across the U.S. 6 TOP NATIONAL PARKS TO VISIT NOW

THE UNITED STATES’ NATIONAL PARKS, WHICH ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR NATURAL WONDERS AND UNMATCHED BEAUTY, ENCOMPASS LANDS THAT HELPED SHAPE THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY AND HOLD CULTURAL VALUE AND SIGNIFICANCE. The national parks invite us to stretch our imaginations—and our legs—and explore the great outdoors. This list of national parks just scratches the surface of the natural wonders to wonderlands to discover, but it includes six of the most stunning national parks in the United States.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK Rocky Mountain National Park includes majestic mountains, abundant wildlife, incredible hiking trails and so much more. Popular activities include fishing, hiking, riding horses and bikes and enjoying the spectacular views. Wintertime brings cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and sledding. Watching wildlife, such as bighorn sheep, elk, moose and mule deer, is a popular activity as well.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK Located in California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains, Yosemite National Park boasts giant sequoia trees, breathtaking waterfalls, vast meadows and more. The park is home to unique rock formations like El Capitan, Half Dome and Glacier Point. Gaze in awe at Yosemite’s thousands of waterfalls, including Yosemite Falls, Ribbon Fall and Wapama Falls.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK Yellowstone’s 2.2 million acres include colorful hot springs, awe-inspiring waterfalls, fascinating mudpots, explosive geysers, diverse wildlife and more. It is home to more hot springs and geysers than anywhere else on Earth. The oldest and largest herd of bison in the country lives at Yellowstone, as well as elk, wolves and grizzly bears.

Memorial Lifestyle | July 2021

BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK Bryce Canyon National Park, located in southwestern Utah, is home to the world’s largest concentration of hoodoos on Earth. With its fascinating landscape composed of hoodoos, horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters and whimsical limestone rock formations, a visit to Bryce Canyon is often likened to a visit to another planet. This stunning landscape, formed by wind, water and snow, draws hikers, rock climbers, photographers, stargazers and cross-country skiers.

GLACIER NATIONAL PARK Glacier National Park is located on the border of Canada and the United States and is often referred to as the “Crown of the Continent.” Visitors will find more than 700 glacial lakes and many hiking trails, ranging in difficulty from easy to strenuous. Going-to-the-Sun Road, known as one of the most spectacular scenic drives in the country, is a paved, two-lane highway that divides the park into east and west regions.

6. ZION NATIONAL PARK Zion National Park’s colorful sandstone cliffs, lush plateaus covered in pine and junipers, narrow canyons, the Virgin River, plus seeps, springs and waterfalls are just some of the scenic wonders here. One of Zion’s most popular hikes is known as the Narrows, the slimmest section of Zion Canyon. Other popular attractions include the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive, Angels Landing, Observation Point and Canyon Overlook Trail. CityLifestyle.com/Memorial
