Today, we’ve left the snow-capped mountains of Colorado and hopped a quick flight southwest to the hottest desert in North America. Oh — and we’ve timed it for the middle of summer. Temperatures here can exceed 120°F (50°C), but we’re teaming up with Marriott Bonvoy to see what kind of cool adventures and comfy luxury we can unearth at one of the continent’s top under-the-radar vacation destinations.

ABOUT US

We’re the Lockwoods. And we’re traveling the world to experience—up close and in person—all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise be consuming only through textbooks and TV. We think it’s a better way to learn and we’re working hard to fund this little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people.
