What an SUV was Meant to Be
If you're planning any spring or summer vacations for next year, I've got the perfect weekend getaway. Take your new Land Rover LR3,
providing you're fortunate enough to own one, or if not, arrange to use one of a variety of Land Rover models stationed at the luxury brand's Land Rover Experience Driving School, located in Montebello, Quebec, Ashville, North Carolina or Carmel, California, and have the 4x4 experience of a lifetime.
That's what I did, in Montebello, and by so doing was housed in the historic Fairmont Le Château Montebello, one of the most impressive pre-WWII destination resorts on the continent. Made of squared logs, the multi-story spoke-shaped building features a beautiful atrium-like lobby at centre, highlighted by one of the tallest fireplaces I've ever seen - Oregon's Timberline Lodge, constructed around the same time - also offers a spectacular "round" fireplace in what might be a cozier setting.
