Updates

Due to the nature of small businesses and natural attractions, some things can change in an instant. A café may decide to no longer be open on Mondays, or an off-the-map trail might suddenly be closed to the public for any number of reasons. Please be sure to check this page the morning of your trip for any updates.

Current Update:

Please email us at questions@guesswheretrips.com with your order number if you purchased a trip before August 2022. We can provide you with further updates if needed. We recommend avoiding travel on holidays as some businesses may be closed.

Trip Updates

Help! My trip isn't listed!

Don’t worry! If your trip isn’t listed below, it means there aren’t any updates to report.

We recommend taking these trips within 6 months of purchase, if your trip is older than that, please email us at questions@guesswheretrips.com for an updated version. Please include your order number in the email.

If you’re ready to hit the road now with an older itinerary and it’s outside of our business hours (Mon-Fri 9am-4pm), please feel free to hop in the car! Small changes may have been made since your purchase, but we always recommend a few locations per stop, so you’re bound to find something to do!

First Stop: The Lookout listed as the last option on Stop 1 is no longer dog-friendly

This trip is now only partially dog-friendly. Bringing your pup will limit options.

A Little Bit of Everything

First Stop: The hike suggested currently needs some repairs. The boardwalk is uneven and it can get quite buggy this time of year. We recommend a great “on the way” stop that we suggest you head to instead.

An Adventure is Brewing

As this trip is recommended from mid-May to late-October, we will not be making any trip updates until next Spring.
