Jared's Detours

Jared's Detours We do inspirational travel advice for efficient, memorable trips around the USA & the world!

I've been a TV reporter for 20+ years, and currently anchor the evening news in Phoenix, AZ. I host a travel segment, called "Now Boarding," and also run a travel website: JaredsDetours.com. While I love a detailed travel itinerary, some of our favorite destinations have been accidental "detours" off the beaten path. The website is designed to inspire you to travel the world, show you how easy it

can be, and give you the confidence to book a trip! (Or you can just go check it out for all the pretty images from photographer Matt Ehnes!)

The Iceberg Lake Trail is a 10-mile hike on the eastern side of Glacier National Park.
From Great Falls, the Many Glacier entrance is a 2.5 hour drive.
The trail is moderate, and accessible for most hikers.
You’re likely to see a bear or moose along the way, and in July the wildflowers and beargrass will be in full bloom!

Fly free to Australia & New Zealand!
🇺🇸 ✈️ 🇦🇺 🇳🇿
Delta’s mileage sale was as low as 40,000 SkyMiles round trip for November & December from most major US cities!
It’s creeping up to 60,000… but that’s still a bargain compared the usual 200,000 😑
It they’re on your bucket list, act quickly because I’m guessing the deal won’t last long!

*Fine Print*
✔️ This is basic economy
✔️ Cash fares are normal (no deals)
✔️ You’ll still have to pay taxes ($100+)

I guess I’m used to the commuter ferries around NY! This one was in a class of its own 🤩

A man from New Zealand got hit with a hefty fine (around $600) after diving into Rome’s Trevi Fountain.

If you’re looking to enjoy it without causing an international incident … I’d go around sunrise: before the crowd and before the 2Euro fee.

Two changes at Fossil Creek for Summer 2026:

1️⃣ It’s now open 7 days a week (compared to Fri-Sun).

The USFS says it’ll give people planning last-minute trips more of a shot at securing a permit for one of the 7 parking lots at Fossil Creek.

KEY INFO: It’s a rough 15-mile drive along a dirt road from Camp Verde to the Fossil Creek lots.

This is what Spirit Airlines’ shutdown looked like in real time Friday night into Saturday morning.
Whether you fly (or flew) Spirit or not, its ultra low-cost prices had an impact on the industry.
The government decided a $500m bailout was a bad investment, and a spike in jet fuel prices seemed to be the final nail in the coffin.
Aside from the thousands of passengers looking to rebook flights this weekend … thousands more employees are now looking for new jobs.

A couple weeks ago, TSA staff (required to work during another shutdown) got partial paychecks. This weekend, they’ll get nothing on payday.
Does the agency’s payscale surprise you?
You can bet more will continue taking temp gig-worker jobs to pay the bills.
