5 Epic Father’s Day Escapes
by Joy PecknoldHere’s the thing with dads: most of them would probably be happy with a case of beer for Father’s Day. But every once and awhile it’s nice to take it up a notch, with, say, a weekend in the craft brewery capital of the U.S. That, or one of the other weekend getaways herein, including golfing by the beach or fly fishing a famed river.

The simple sounds of moving water and the rhythmic flick of a fly rod is meditative. If that’s dad’s pace, make a weekend of it at The Resort at Paws Up in northwestern Montana. On its 37,000 acres are six luxury tents to relive those camping trips (but in a much more luxurious way) and they sit alongside the Blackfoot River which is famously featured in the Norman Maclean book and subsequent Robert Redford film, A River Runs Through It.

If pops loves hops, Portland is the place. At last count, the city clocked 70 breweries, plus another 35 in the greater metro area. Atop the historic Meier & Frank building, The Nines provides a spectacular view of the downtown core, and The Library bar is an ideal place to kick back at day’s end with a game of pool and a novel from Powell’s Book.

Home to the oldest 18-hole golf course in America, The Breakers Palm Beach offers glimpses of the Atlantic from its idyllic Ocean Course, plus an academy to help players up their game. Not far from the green are four pools, five hot tubs and a half-mile of private beach—the ultimate après or, if you’re not a golfer, the ultimate “You go have fun, Dad, I’ll just chill here for the day.”

George Clooney just joined the fatherhood club, and if your dad loves a little gambling give him a Danny Ocean à la Ocean’s 11 kind of weekend—sans the heist—with a stay at the iconic Bellagio. When he’s blown through his chips at the poker table, Cirque de Soleil’s aquatic-themed “O” show on site will distract and dazzle him.

In the winter, Park City is a skier’s paradise, but in the summer, the mountain bikers take over. The area offers 400 miles of track, and there’s terrain for all kinds of riders. From the St. Regis Deer Valley Resort, you can ride the lifts up which makes covering more ground much less daunting. Hiking these hills is another, mellower option. The hotel’s Remède Spa is ready for whatever aches need to be worked on afterwards.
