We’re counting the days until flying into space is as commonplace as a cross-country flight. For now, though, when we need to escape society, we’ll settle for a few weeks in a treehouse or a cabin in the Alaskan wilderness. Few regions of the U.S. guarantee a proper, off-grid digital detox like the wilds of the Pacific Northwest. Enter: The Hoh Rainforest Caravan Cabins.

The mini-compound of travel trailers is situated in Washington’s Hoh Rainforest on the coast of the Olympic Peninsula. The prime spot inside the state’s Olympic National Park is remote, off-grid, and offers panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. By day, visitors will want to commit to doing nothing, to finding connection through complete disconnection. Just steps from the caravan, the park’s pristine beaches are prime spots for beachcombing amid tidal pools, crab searching, and taking in the waterfront scenery. Otters, dolphins, and even whales can often be seen playing offshore. Farther afield, the 1,400-square-mile park is home to vast and varied ecosystems that include mountains, rainforests, and old-growth forests — all perfect for exploring on foot.

When it’s time to retreat inside the cabins, guests will find plenty of tiny-house-worthy conveniences. Each of the four units boasts a minimal, Scandinavian-inspired interior that’s bright, clean, and streamlined. Off-grid doesn’t have to mean sacrificing the comforts of home. Basic amenities like hot water, solar-powered electricity, and composting toilets are provided. All include a stocked kitchenette with a mini-fridge, cooktop, and coffee-making equipment as well. The property’s communal outdoor lounge is a great place for guests to gather around a starlit campfire after dark.

These one-of-a-kind cabins are one of more than 30,000 listings available on Glamping Hub. Since partnering with Red Awning, one of the world’s largest vacation rental websites, they now offer glamping accommodations in more than 120 countries. Most are unique digs like treehouses, tipis, yurts, and safari tents, all located in remote locations that guarantee a legit digital detox.

Nightly rates at the Hoh Rainforest Caravan Cabins start around $250 via Glamping Hub. It’s worth noting that the price includes a total of four units with enough room for you and 13 of your closest friends. Or, if you’re desperate to get away from literally everyone, rent the entire compound for yourself. We won’t judge.

Yellowstone vs Yosemite: Which national park should you visit?
A breathtaking view of Yellowstone National Park at sunset.

When speaking of national parks, two often dominate the conversation: Yellowstone and Yosemite. While both are crown jewels of the National Park System, each offers a distinctly unique experience. These parks attract millions of visitors annually, but which one reigns supreme for the summer traveler? Let's compare these iconic destinations.
Yellowstone National Park

Established in 1872 as the first national park in the world, Yellowstone National Park sprawls across three states: Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. Covering over 2.2 million acres, it’s a vast land of natural wonders. Here's what it's famous for:
Geothermal geysers
Yellowstone is home to over 10,000 hydrothermal features, including more than 500 geysers. The star of the show is Old Faithful, a geyser famous for its predictable eruptions. Besides geysers, the park boasts multicolored hot springs, fumaroles, and mud pots.
An abundance of wildlife
Yellowstone’s ecosystem is a sanctuary for a diverse array of wildlife. Visitors marvel at herds of bison roaming the valleys, spot elusive wolves in the Lamar Valley, and observe grizzly bears in their natural habitat. Just make sure that you're following the rules when it comes to interacting with animals. The park is a living showcase of wildlife management and natural balance.
Unparalleled views
The park's landscape varies from rolling grasslands to dense forests and high-altitude lakes. Yellowstone Lake is the largest high-altitude lake in North America, offering stunning views and fishing opportunities. Hiking trails range from easy walks to challenging backcountry adventures, catering to all levels of outdoor enthusiasts.
