ADVENTURES IN WASHINGTON Seven wild, hair-raising and outright quirky local adven-tures.

A MAN OF MANY STEPSLouie DeArias explains why he prefers to travel Europe on foot.

SUMMIT SEASONA beginner’s guide to climbing the Cascades.

his issue pretty much speaks for itself. It is the Travel and Adventure issue, and

from cover to cover it is packed with informa-tion about incredible places to go and big ad-

ventures to have. Some of the trips are local enough that you can drive there in a day, and others are half way around the world.

And I could spend my entire letter trying to convince you of the many benefits of traveling and going on trips like those featured in the issue, but it seems unnecessary. In the end, everyone lucky enough to travel usually already knows the significant impact it can have on your life. Instead, I’d rather just give you a few more places to go and fun, challenging things to put on your bucket list.

That said, be sure to check out the “Adventures in Washington” story on page 26. It details how to get a few hometown thrills, whether you prefer skydiving, kite surfing or viewing the Aurora Borealis safely from the ground.

If you really want to physically challenge yourself this summer, you can read “Summit Season” on page 48. Member Steven Salta and Bellevue Club trainer Chris-tin Tercek helped us create a beginner’s guide to summiting a glacial mountain. There is no experience necessary for this adventure.

Those looking for something a little more exotic might enjoy the story of how member Louie DeArias walked more than a combined 2,200 miles across Europe, and why he isn’t planning to stop any time soon. And in the same vein, starting on page 38, we introduce you to some of the wildest, most exotic hotels in the world, including accommodations in Thailand, Sweden, Zanzibar and more.

So no matter your speed or style, there is no shortage of inspiration or reasons to start packing your bags. Happy traveling!

here is no time of year that I look forward to more than springtime. As a lifelong resident of the Puget Sound area, it’s the time of year when the Mariners are a month into their season, the weather is

ideal and my energy level increases for the warmer days of summer ahead.

In my 32 years spent in the Pacific Northwest hospital-ity industry, it’s also the time of year we gear up for out-of-town visitors that flock to the region to enjoy the area attractions. In the two years I have been a part of the management team at Hotel Bellevue, I have determined that it is springtime year-round. Unlike the staff at traditional hotels, the 50 of us that make up the hotel team (housekeeping room attendants, concierge staff, guest services, laundry attendants and front desk agents), we gear up for high demand daily.

This delightful amenity of yours has become one of the most sought after gems for lodging in the region. In fact, the number of hotel guests referred by Bel-levue Club members is at an all-time high, and along with the many public accolades noted in magazines and travel blogs, we are experiencing a springlike environment month after month.

With this demand comes a level of energy from each member of the hotel team that is perpetually maintained. At this pace, there are no dog days of summer or winter doldrums, just constant movement.

As I compare the many experiences I have enjoyed as an hotelier, it’s difficult to measure the unique environment of Hotel Bellevue against the other boutique hotels, convention properties and resorts I’ve been involved with over the years. The constant activity in all areas of the Club that begins at the front door is unpar-alleled. A recent conversation with a loyal guest defined the vibe precisely when she shared this with me: “The reason I choose to stay here has everything to do with people always being around instead of empty corridors and lobbies.”

“People being around,” I love these words. They tie in with the daily reality here at the club that includes perpetual motion. Engaging with people throughout the day and night stimulates our senses and keep our brains working. While the month of May is considered to be the middle of the spring season, for the 50 of us here in the hotel, myself included, we get the pleasure of enjoying the increased energy every day.

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC @SoundersFC

Look out Major League Soccer - #Sounders forwards Obafemi Martins and Kenny Cooper are clicking already... and it’s only preseason.


New year, new attitude.Such is the story of the 2014 Seattle Sounders. The club has experienced a fresh approach so far in the #SFCPreseason, one that the team

is very pleased with.


“My teammates make me feel like I’m part of the group,” [Marco] Pappa said. “It’s not easy when you come from a different country or a

different team. It’s important to feel like home in the group, so I’m pretty happy with that.”

PREPARATION

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the chicken in the oil for about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Remove the chicken and set aside, covered with foil.

In the same Dutch oven, sauté the onion, garlic and tomatoes for about two minutes. Add the rice and sauté for two more minutes. Add the carrots, olives and capers and stir every-thing together. Pour in the broth and add the chicken pieces back to the pan. Settle the chicken pieces into the rice. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and simmer until the broth has been absorbed, about 10 minutes.

Add the green peas. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and punch eight holes in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Fluff up the mixture once or twice dur-ing the baking time. Serve warm.

Top the dish with pimiento strips, egg slices and cheese. Serve with fried ripe plantain slic-es, a salsa picante and pickled vegetables.

BRAZILTHE CAIPIRINHA.

Brazil’s signature drink is one of my fa-vorites. It calls for Cachaça, a sugar cane liquor that is similar to rum. The liquor is shaken with pressed sugar and fresh lime.

With warmer weather on the horizon, the urge to flee the Pacific Northwest for san-dy beaches and bluer skies grows stronger. However, jumping in a plane and taking off to an exotic location isn’t always feasible. If you’re next best option is to spend an eve-ning relaxing with a cocktail, here are a few signature drinks from countries all over the world. No passport required.

BOTTLE TALKapril 2014


PERU

THE PISCO SOUR.

Pisco is Peruvian liquor made from grape seed and is often described as a cross between brandy and tequila. The pisco sour is made by mixing the pisco with sugar, lime and egg whites. A splash of bitters finishes the drink.

GREAT BRITAINTHE PIMM’S CUP.

Originating in a London oyster bar in the 1840s to combat acid indiges-tion, this cocktail combines Pimm’s no. 1 liqueur, sliced orange, lemon, apple, cucumber, mint and ginger ale to cure what ails you.

FRANCE

THE KIR ROYALE.

French socialites started mix-ing this simple cocktail, made by adding a little crème de cassis and lemon twist to a glass of cham-pagne, for their luxurious gather-ings. It’s typically reserved for special occasions.

MEXICOPALOMA.

Everybody is familiar with the margarita, but not everybody has heard of the paloma. More popular to the locals, the paloma combines silver tequila, fresh lime, a pinch of salt and pink grapefruit soda.


ITALY

THE NEGRONI.

Born out of Count Camillo Negroni’s desire for a stronger beverage, he replaced the soda water in his favorite cocktail with gin. With sweet vermouth and Campari round-ing out the drink, it’s no wonder the Negroni soared to popularity.

A MAN OF MANY STEPS


Shortly before he

turned 50 years old, Louie

DeArias made the first in a

series of life-changing pacts with

his good friend Alan Hergert.

At the time, they were on a trip to

Spain and Portugal and heard about

the sacred Catholic pilgrimage known

as the Camino de Santiago. The jour-

ney has many routes, the most well

known being a stretch of 500 miles

from the Pyrenees in France to San-

tiago de Compostela in Spain.

Travelers have walked these routes

for more than 900 years, and they

were originally intended as a way to

bypass purgatory and go straight into

heaven. “Literally, millions of people

have done this walk,” says DeArias.

But for DeArias and Hergert, the

allure was less about avoiding purga-

tory and more about exploring the

landscape, meeting new people and

digging into their roots, as both have

familial connections to the region.

DeArias, whose grandparents were

from Spain, says it was an intrigu-

ing idea right off the bat, and being

fortunate enough to retire at an early

age from Pricewaterhouse Coopers,

he had the time. But then there was

the physical element.


DeArias says, adding that the

five-week trip is no slouch of a

hike, averaging 16 to 17 miles

a day with a 20-pound pack.

DeArias admits at the time he was

overweight and out of shape, and

thought to himself,

“You’re going to walk 500 miles?”

“But before we knew it, we

bought plane tickets and started

training,” he says. And he takes his

pacts seriously.

DeArias did most of his training in the Cascades, where hik-ers can get a good mix of elevation and endurance. “I’m ready when I can do three days in a row of 15 miles in the mountains,” he says. “Because the thing about these walks is that they are day after day, so you have to train for that.”

After all the training, in the fall of 2005, DeArias and Hergert boarded a plane for a journey they would never for-get. For five weeks, they walked, tasted the food and wine, and met a lot of people, a few of which they still keep in touch with today.

“On our first trip, we met people in very small villages that were probably related to us based on name and region. They opened their doors and we had dinners with them,” he says. “It was very special.”

To top it off, the friends also raised $74,000 in donations for the American Heart Association in conjunction with the walk.

It was also during that first trip that a second pact was made. Along the way, they met an 86-year old German doctor who still often makes the pilgrimage.

“That’s when we jokingly said we’d start doing these walks during the fall of every other year until we were at least 87 years old.”

The two friend have made good on their promise ever since, and every other year they take a new route (there are hundreds across Europe), one of which was a remarkable 700 miles. They are planning their fifth walk this fall.

At times they have invited other friends and family on their trips and DeArias says it adds another dimension to the fun. But no matter what, the two of them will go for as many years as possible.

“Some people do it for religious reasons, to mark cer-tain life events, physical reasons, for meeting people, tasting foods and wines of the regions, or, like us, all the above,” he says.

Now with all this mileage under his belt, he’s got a piece of advice or two for other adventurers interested in attempting a journey of this nature. For starters, he finds it helpful to break down the trip into three parts.

“It was almost a joke at first,”


Louie’s Routes

1. Camino Frances (The French Way)

2. Via de la Plata (The Silver Way)

3. Camino del Norte (The Northern Way)

4. Via francigena (The Road that Comes from France)

5. Camino Portugues (The Portuguese Way)


“First there’s the anticipation, the training and the researching. Then, there’s the journey itself, where you are meeting new people and seeing new places. Then there’s the high at the end, the sense of accomplishment and the reentry into day-to-day life.”

Breaking it down into parts helps make the trip more accessible. And he says there are plenty of guidebooks travelers can read and follow to map out the actual route. The biggest lessons DeArias learned were about gear.

“Most people take way too much stuff. You really don’t need that much to do this,” he says. “Doing laundry systematically is key.”

As for what his friends and family members think of his extensive travels and growing ambitions to take more trips, he says they don’t always get it, but love that he is happy.

“They think I’m crazy. You can’t explain it; it’s a passion. You start doing it, and it’s easy to start loving it.”

The Gear List

DeArias advises bringing clothing that is drip dry because you wash it at night and need it to be dry by the morning. If you bring cotton jeans, they will never dry. “I also see a lot of people making mistakes with their shoes and socks too. Blisters can be a big problem,” he says.

• Three pairs of socks (DeArias recommends SmartWool brand)• Two pairs of pants with zip off pant legs• Two t-shirts• One long sleeve t-shirt• One light fleece• One really good raincoat• One poncho• Whatever toiletries you need

CHIANG RAI, THAILAND

ANANTARA GOLDEN TRIANGLE ELEPHANT CAMP & RESORT

How often can you say you met the others staying at your resort, and they happened to be elephants? In the lush jungle of northern Thailand, Anan-tara Golden Triangle offers a packed schedule of pachy-derm activities. Learn to drive an elephant with a ma-hout (an elephant keeper), ride atop one of the gentle giants to participate in the ritual of river bathing, work with the resident veterinarian to conduct a health check

and feeding, trek through bamboo on the back of one of your new friends, and even try some yoga poses while up to nine feet in the air. The accommodations are no less awe-inspir-ing, with teakwood floors, terrazzo tubs, beautiful bal-conies, and lovely robes to snuggle in after an exciting day of mahout training.

KAKSLAUTTANEN ARCTIC RESORT

While Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort offers a variety of ac-commodations, from log cabins to a traditional Lapland house, it’s the glass igloos that are arguably the most picturesque of all — and will give you gorgeous views of the night sky from the comfort of beneath your covers. You may even catch the northern lights, which make an appearance here 200 days a year.

Under the clear glass dome, cozy up in a room for two or four that’s blissfully heated. For a true Scandinavian experience, head to the resort’s smoke saunas by the river, one of which is the largest smoke sauna in the world. Once it gets too warm, you’re encouraged to take a dip in the river and start the process over again. “Don’t worry if it’s frozen over,” the website says. “We’ll cut a hole in the ice.”

MOAB, UTAH

MOAB UNDER CANVAS

Opening April 4, Moab Under Canvas will offer luxury camping at its finest in one of the country’s most out-doorsy places: Moab, Utah. Popular as a jumping-off point for mountain biking, climbing, and whitewater rafting down the Colorado River, the location is also close to the entrances of both Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park.

“Moab is a special place to stay all in itself, but being able to enjoy the desert firsthand, sleeping out in it amongst the stars, is truly unique,” says Sarah Dusek of Moab Under Canvas. Even the most basic tents come with camp cots, mattress padding, sleeping bags, pil-lows, blankets, towels, safari chairs and a lantern, while the most luxurious option includes private en suite bathrooms with spa products, a lounge area with a sofa bed, a wood-burning stove and a raised wood floor that stretches out to a private patio.

SALA, SWEDEN

SALA SILVERMINE

Sleep more than 500 feet below the surface of the earth when you book a night at Sala Silvermine. It’s cold, it’s damp, it’s dark—and it’s an experience unlike any you’ve ever had before.

It all starts with an elevator ride into the depths of the mine, which takes four minutes and 13 seconds. Upon arrival, you’ll get a guided tour of the mine; all galleries and cavities were excavated by hand from the 16th to 20th centuries. After that, the guide leaves you alone to enjoy a basket of goodies (think cheese, fruit, sparkling wine and chocolate) and the quiet of the

mine. In the morning, you’ll get breakfast before you head up to ground level to rejoin the world.

“Most guests that stay the night are amazed by the safety they felt when sleeping in a bedrock 155 meters underground; most of them say they slept surprisingly well,” says Maaike Ouwehand, who works at the mine. “Slightly claustrophobic guests are usually very proud of the fact that they managed to stay the night in our hotel and mostly comment that it was not at all as bad as they had expected.”MOAB, UTAH

A twist on the idea of a tree house, Van-couver Island’s Free Spirit Spheres are designed to spiritually connect visitors with their location right in the middle of the forest. Eve, Eryn and Melody, as they’re known, seemingly float in the air, undulating only slightly in the breeze from their tethered location.

Made from materials like cedar, black walnut, and Sitka spruce, the orbs feature amenities such as a built-in speaker sys-tem, spiral staircases outside, comfy du-vets, and round windows. What you won’t find are TVs or other distractions—here, it’s all about being immersed in the sur-rounding environment, just as if you’re an-other pinecone swinging from the branch-es of one of those conifers.

Normally sleeping with the fishes isn’t good—but at East Africa’s Manta Resort, it’s an experience you’ll happily live to tell about.

Opened late last year, the special suite is three stories, with a rooftop deck up top, a lounge area at sea level and a bed-room that plunges beneath the Indian Ocean. By day, dive or snorkel around your abode, laze on the white-sand beach or go on an excursion to the an-cient Ngezi Forest in search of the Pem-ba flying fox, which isn’t found anywhere else in the world.

By night, watch from the comfort of your bedroom as fish, squid and octo-puses swirl through the waters outside your window in what might feel some-thing like an aquarium in reverse.

summitseason The Cascades sure

look nice in the horizon on a sunny day, but getting to the top is

no walk in the park. If you’re serious about summiting a glacial

peak for the first time this summer, take

the time to heed the advice of Steven Salta.

w r i t t e n b y l a u r e n h u n s b e r g e r // p h o t o g r a p h y b y m i c h a e l m a t t i

It was always the mountain in the background, like you could almost reach out and touch it,”

“I wanted to climb Mount Hood since I was a kid.


The Five Highest (and Most Often Summited) Peaks in the Cascade Mountain Range

Mount Rainier: 14,410 feetMount Shasta: 14,180 feetMount Adams: 12,280 feetMount Hood: 11,250 feetMount Baker: 10,781 feet


“I always thought I’d do it when I was in high school or college,” he says. “But, it took me a lot longer than that.”

By the time Salta was ready to summit the mountain just last sum-mer, he wasn’t exactly in alpine con-dition. “I thought, ‘If I’m going to climb this mountain, I might need to get in better shape.’” With only a few months to prepare, Salta enlisted the help of Bellevue Club trainer Christin Tercek. After a lot of hard work, Salta made it up the mountain and back. He brought with him these lessons for all those beginners who think they have summit fever:

The Training Regimen“I did 45 minutes of strength training three times a week with Christin. We did mostly free weights, lower body machine work, and lots of core,” Salta says. At Tercek’s direction, he followed that up with 45 minutes of cardiovascular training on a treadmill or stair climber. Another large com-ponent of his training was consistent weekend hikes. “Every weekend I’d climb Tiger Mountain, Mount Si or anything with a few thousand feet of elevation gain. Rattlesnake Ridge is also excellent training.” He trained for two months prior to the climb.

Lesson Learned: “Two months was good; three would have been per-fect,” Salta says. Both Tercek and Sal-ta agree that adventurers should train for at least three to four months prior to any serious hike.

The Moral SupportSalta says beginners should never consider summiting a mountain with-out a professional guide. He says go-ing with a trusted friend also helps with morale. “My business partner is a much more serious climber, and having someone to go with was really great. The best advice he gave was, ‘It’s not altitude; it’s attitude.’” Salta admitted that while the trip was defi-nitely the most physically challenging thing he has ever done, his partner was right and much of the challenge boiled down to mental toughness.

Lesson Learned: “I used a lot of posi-tive self-talk. I told myself, ‘I can do this. I can keep going.’ There was a point about 1,000 feet from the sum-mit I made a psychological switch to, ‘I will do this, or I will collapse trying.’ And it actually got easier after that.”

The Cascade Hierarchy One of the main reasons Salta chose to climb Mount Hood for his first summit trip was because it overlooks his hometown, but the trip is also known worldwide for it’s accessibil-ity to novice climbers. Salta says it’s especially perfect for beginners be-cause you can summit and return in one day, about nine hours, whereas mountains such as Adams and Raini-er take at least two or three days.

Lesson Learned: Climbing mountains can be addictive. Salta is now consid-ering summiting Mount Adams, al-though he’s not ready to tackle Rain-ier just yet. “That’s when you get into more oxygen issues.”

➸ For more information about summiting Mount Hood, visit timber-linemtguides.com. For more informa-tion on how to train with Christin or another BC trainer, please pick up a Meet the Trainers brochure.

says Steven Salta, who grew up in Portland and now resides here on the Eastside.

3 TIPS FOR SUMMITING

from Bellevue Club trainer Christin Tercek

“Don’t ignore your core. It is important to strengthen your core because it will keep you

balanced.”

“You have to get your cardio stamina up, especially when

you’re going to high elevation. The stair climber is the

closest thing you can get to a mountain, and that’s good, but you really need to get out into the actual mountains before attempting a climb like that.”

“Put a backpack on with weight during weekend hikes and cardio training. You need to experience the feeling of a heavy backpack. It is much

better than a weight vest because it will simulate the

exact experience.”

For an exercise in minimalist living, head east to the Methow Valley and enjoy an adventure amidst the mountains and stars.

w r i t t e n b y e m m a w i l s o n

Perched above the floor of the Methow Valley, six steel, wood and glass “huts” stand surrounded by the North Cascades. Built on a former RV campsite in Winthrop, Washington, the Rolling Huts offer a chic but simple escape from the bustle of city life by taking advantage of the surrounding valley. Architect Tom Kundig, of Seattle’s Olson Kundig Architects, designed the huts with a sleek, modular feel, making the Rolling Huts a prime example of the growing “glamping” trend.

Short for “glamorous camping,” glamping combines camping’s eco-friendly, low-impact retreat to nature with modern amenities, real beds and a little less “ick” for those who might be skittish of full-on roughing it. All of the Rolling Huts have identical floor plans and are equipped with a wood stove, microwave, mini fridge

and coffee pot. Each hut sleeps up to four people, with a dedicated bedroom for two and modular furniture in the living room that can be rearranged into another full bed. Hot showers can be found a short walk away, in the bathhouse, but each hut has an outhouse for guests’ convenience. There are no televisions in the huts—although they all have Wi-Fi capabilities—with the glass wall at the front of each house offering “big screen” views of the valley and Cascades.

The on-site restaurant, Kelly’s at Wesola Polana, offers a variety of fresh, seasonal fare to guests and locals alike. The restaurant’s cozy, cabin-like interior is in keeping with the Rolling Huts’ rural experience, while the cuisine and wine list is worthy of the city. For those who prefer to cook, there is a covered picnic area with tables and grills—the ideal location for a family cookout. All of the Rolling Huts’ amenities are within close walking distance, making it easy to enjoy every aspect of the experience.

Sound a little too glamorous for your taste? Just down a footpath from the Rolling Huts and only 300 feet from the Methow River are the Methow Tents: 15 canvas, safari-style tents nestled in the woods.

Resting on wooden platforms, with screen doors, windows and elec-tricity, the tents are still a few steps from backwoods camping but ideal for those wanting to try out the camping lifestyle. Out of range of cell phone service and Wi-Fi, the tents offer an easy opportunity to get away—without getting lost in the woods.

In the winter, the Rolling Huts and Methow Tents are but a few strides away from world-class cross-country skiing trails—around 120 miles of them. Kids under the age of 17 can ski for free, and dogs and fat bikes are welcome on some trails. Snowshoes are also wel-come and offer a less expensive opportunity to explore the Methow Valley’s gorgeous, groomed and less crowded trails.

Come summertime, the trails become a hiker or mountain biker’s dream, with a variety of terrains and lengths to challenge any level of ability. Many of the trails are also dog- and horse-friendly, so con-sider bringing your four-legged friends along. In addition to sport-ing trails, the Methow Valley is home to excellent river rafting, rock climbing, fishing and more, so no matter the season, outdoor enthu-siasts are sure to find something fun to do.

With rates starting at $135 per night for the Rolling Huts and only $60 per night for the Methow Tents, experiencing all the Methow Valley has to offer won’t make a huge dent in your budget. Be sure to factor in gas mileage, however, as the trip to Winthrop takes ap-proximately four hours—perhaps the perfect opportunity for a fam-ily road trip.

april 2014BODY | MINDTraveling for (personal, economic and spiritual) HealthTraveling is fun and exciting, but did you know it could benefit your life in many other ways too? The U.S. Travel Association details exactly how packing your bags can pack a punch for your health and wellness.

According to Dr. Paul Nussbaum, Ph.D., ABPP, president and founder of the Brain Health Center, Inc., “Because it challenges the brain with new and different experiences and environments, travel is an important behavior that promotes brain health and builds brain resilience across the lifespan.”

One survey shows that after being on vacation for only a day or two, 89 PERCENT of people are able to leave the stressors of work behind and relax. This has long-term effects, as stress has been shown to play a damaging role in health and can actually speed up the aging process.

SEVENTY-NINE PERCENT of Americans see travel as a way to get energized and feel more alive, and two in three say travel is great for being physically active.*

In the state of Washington, the travel industry creates 103,000 jobs, $13.2 BILLION in spending and $2 BILLION in tax revenue for local governments.

Travel is among the top 10 INDUSTRIES in 48 STATES and D.C. in terms of employment.

Direct spending by resident and interna-tional travelers in the U.S. averaged $2.3 BILLION a day, $97.7 MILLION an hour, $1.6 MILLION a minute and $27,125 a second.
