On Greenland’s west coast, Ilulissat (once known as Jakobshavn) welcomes travelers with astonishing ice scenery and a sense of scale that feels almost otherworldly.

Here, every turn toward the sea offers a fresh view of towering ice forms, each one sculpted by nature into something fleeting and beautiful.

Boulder, a beautiful 2,500 foot high oasis of green lawns and clean trees-shaded streets where the sun shines over 320 days a year, overlooks the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Located 5 miles from the lake, 8 miles from Hoover Dam, and just 23 miles southeast of Las Vegas, Boulder became an incorporated independent municipality by a right granted then through an Act of Congress in 1958. Recognized as truly a family oriented and community minded city, one only has to visit for a short time to confirm this reputation.
