Cultured gentlemen know Dumb and Dumber is not just one of the greatest comedies of all time, but it also stands proudly among other highfalutin films like Citizen Kane, The Godfather, and The Princess Diaries as one of the greatest movies of all time. Now, to celebrate the film’s 25th anniversary, one Colorado hotel is honoring this cinematic icon in the best way possible: with a legit, luxury hotel/ski package that would make Lloyd and Harry proud.

While the original film (we’ll never acknowledge that blasphemous sequel was ever released) features two unbelievable dimwits, the official Dumb and Dumber: Lloyd & Harry Meet The Curtis package is aimed squarely at sophisticated, ski-loving travelers seeking an upscale Rocky Mountain getaway. The $10,000 price tag might seem steep, but the package includes a long list of luxury amenities. All that’s required is for you to get yourself to Denver, where much of the movie was filmed.

Once in the city, guests will enjoy a two-night stay in a Corner King Deluxe room at The Curtis hotel. Naturally, two ruffled tuxedos — one orange and one powder blue — and two matching top hats will be provided at check-in. Also included are two pairs of Icelantic Nomad 95 skis, customized by local artists with one-of-a-kind Denver skyline artwork. Shortly after settling in, guests will be whisked away to Aspen with private jet service and luxury SUV transportation.

Two single-day ski lift tickets will be waiting upon arrival in Aspen. After a day on the slopes, guests return to Denver with a 12-pack of Aspen Beer Co. beer to imbibe on the flight home. Back in the city, on-demand spa treatments will be waiting before enjoying a gourmet Sunday brunch at the hotel’s The Corner Office restaurant. Relax with a late Sunday checkout before spending the last afternoon touring downtown Denver with a three-hour moped rental.

The Curtis is known for its travel-themed nods to pop culture. Guest room designs and past promotions have included quirky tie-ins to everything from Ghostbusters to video games to The Shining to Jimmy Buffet. The hotel even offers a pooch-friendly Scooby Doo Pet Package complete with travel food bowls and Scooby and Shaggy snacks.

The Dumb and Dumber: Lloyd & Harry Meet The Curtis package is available now through April 21, 2019, so long as you call at least two weeks in advance. If you do make it out there, let us know if that John Denver was indeed “full of shit.”

When planning a trip, you have a wide palette to pick from. Maybe you want to warm up by the ocean in Tulum, Mexico. Or if you want to enjoy soft turns under the California sun, a spring skiing pilgrimage to Lake Tahoe could be the choice. But in either case, you probably don’t give much consideration to which airports you’ll pass through. That’s understandable.

After all, airports are just a means to an end, a conduit to your eventual destination. But the truth is, they’re not all the same, and some stand out for their amenities and design. To that end, a recent study analyzed every airport worldwide and compiled a list of the best.

Picture pristine turquoise waters stretching as far as the eye can see, surrounded by lush greenery and white sandy beaches. This luxurious scene isn’t just a dream reserved for far-off destinations like the Maldives. Situated in the southeastern corner of Mexico lies a hidden gem that rivals the beauty of its distant Asian counterpart: Bacalar. 

Bacalar, often referred to as the “Maldives of Mexico,” is a gorgeous destination renowned for the Bacalar Lagoon, otherwise known as the “Lagoon of Seven Colors.” Bacalar, Mexico’s crystal clear waters, resemble the famous hues of the Indian Ocean surrounding the Maldives. But what sets Bacalar apart isn’t just its striking resemblance to the Maldives—it’s the accessibility, affordability, and unique experiences it offers travelers without the lengthy journey. So pack your bags and head to Mexico.

The Grand Canyon National Park has announced the much-anticipated reopening of Havasupai Gardens Campground, Bright Angel Trail, and Tonto Trail, set for April 15, 2024. This marks a celebratory moment for hiking enthusiasts and nature lovers, as one of the most renowned trails in the park becomes accessible once again after a temporary closure.

These closures began way back in December 2023 due to the Transcanyon Waterline project at the Grand Canyon National Park. This project involved extensive construction activities aimed at upgrading and replacing the water distribution lines in the park. The work included the replacement of water distribution lines throughout the Havasupai Gardens area and at the 1.5 and 3-mile rest houses, located along the Bright Angel Trail.
