By Nicola Anelka 4 hours ago

Well before the pandemic arrived, Americans struggled with vacation. In a normal year, over half of American workers would end the year with unused vacation days, wasting $60 billion in benefits in the process. The primary reason? According to the U.S. Travel Association’s annual State of American Vacation report, it could be traced to a “fear of looking replaceable.”

In the COVID era, workers have gone to great lengths to not look replaceable; across the board, remote work has meant longer days and more meetings. It’s become more common than ever for employees — hoping to leave an

Just about everyone I talk to is expecting a busy summer. Builders, mortgage brokers, service workers, you name it. The valley is bracing to be overrun by tourists beginning in June.

And, if you trust the early indicators, such as hotel bookings and backcountry permit applications, it means many of our most popular attractions will be crowded during what I consider our three best months of the year.
