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!)

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).
2️⃣ Most of the permits will be given out 2 days before the visit (rather than 30 days).

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.

It’s a hassle to get to Masca, a tiny village with gorgeous views on the western side of Tenerife (one of the Canary Islands).

Let’s discuss DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s decision to suspend Global Entry, a trusted traveler program used by 80,000 daily travelers.
As travel industry leaders say: the decision lacks fiscal and logical rationale.

Reynisfjara, a famous black sand beach near Vik, Iceland, eroded away this month. It’s unclear if the black sand will be restored. There’s work underway to prevent more erosion, but the visitor experience is changed indefinitely.

Beaver Falls is one of the beautiful waterfalls along Havasu Creek.
Getting here involves a 10-mile hike to the Havasupai Falls campground, near the Grand Canyon.
This waterfall is another challenging 2-mile hike downstream from there.
