^{Welcome to our inaugural ETA (Escapes. Travel. Adventure.) by L.A. Times. We’ve created a guide to vacations near and far, from Escapes (an easy getaway of a couple days or so) and Travel (the standard one- to two-week vacation) to Adventures (those bucket-list trips you’ve always wanted to take).}

^{And, for our first issue, we’ve decided to (mainly) stick close to home with a distinct touch of the West, so below, you will find incredible stories about the latest and greatest destinations and all the amazing luxuries offered – all worthy of an E, T or A.}
