Need to escape the hustle and bustle of city life? There’s no better cure than time in the great outdoors. Here are some Pacaso homes that serve as the perfect base for your next wild escape.

Riviera (Santa Barbara, CA)

This home is ideally situated to explore the nearby Channel Islands National Park, a one-of-a-kind natural playground just off the coast of California. Hop on a ferry or charter a boat to visit one or more of the five islands for an adventurous day of diving, hiking or spotting seals and native birds.

Harvest Ridge (Jackson, WY)

Not only does the home offer front-row views of the majestic Teton Range, but it’s also the perfect base camp to visit Grand Teton National Park. Explore the rugged landscape by foot, bike or even horseback, and spot wildlife like moose and elk along the way.

Windmill Palms (Marco Island, FL)

This home offers a gateway to the Everglades, one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world. Glide through mangroves on an airboat or kayak, and keep your eyes peeled for panthers, crocs and rare birds in their natural habitat. It’s wild, in every sense.

Casa del Sol (Palm Springs, CA)

Just an hour from Palm Springs is Joshua Tree National Park, where the Mojave and Colorado deserts meet in a quirky, otherworldly landscape. Hike or drive past jumbo rock formations and whimsical trees and cacti, then stay past sunset for a sky painted with stars.

Blue River (Breckenridge, CO)

Up for a side trip during your stay in Colorado? Head to Black Canyon of the Gunnison, home to some of the world’s oldest exposed rock. With dramatic cliffs, deep gorges and epic hikes, this hidden gem is an adventurer’s dream.
