1. Psychology of orange color and emotions it evokes

Orange is a warm color made as a mix of red and yellow. Depending on the various shades of orange, it evokes a wide spectrum of feelings and emotions. 

Bright, fiery oranges often bring out a sense of energy, enthusiasm, and excitement. These shades and visiting bright orange places will make us feel more alive and alert. Think of a blazing sunset or a zesty citrus fruit. They also spark positivity and vitality.

On the other hand, softer, more muted shades of orange, such as peach or apricot, tend to release the feeling of warmth and comfort. These hues can evoke a sense of coziness and contentment, much like the embrace of a loved one or the soothing glow of a fireplace.

Just as the color orange can ignite passion with its bold tones while offering a comforting and inviting aura with its softer variations, so can orange places around the world make you feel more joyful and lively.

Travel by color to orange destinations around the world. Admire orange scenery and orange nature in Uluru, Sossusvlei in Namibia, Valley of Fire in USA, and Fushimi Inari in Kyoto, Japan.  Follow color psychology and let orange places, in vermillion, sunset, tiger, carrot, tangerine, and apricot shades of orange lift up your spirit.

Location: Southern Morocco

Highlights
The Sahara Desert is a massive desert that stretches across Northern Africa and is the largest hot desert in the World. You can see the desert from multiple countries but you should visit it when in Morocco.

Tips for visiting the Sahara desert & Morocco
The best time to visit the Sahara desert is March to early May or late September into October when the weather is milder.

To get there, fly into Marrakech, Morocco. You’ll then drive nearly nine hours west to Merzouga. Most trips will break this up with an overnight in Ouarzazate and/or Ait Benhaddou, both filming locations for many popular movies like Gladiator.

However, sometimes the weather can be a bit unpredictable. It can get extremely hot in the desert, especially from May to September. Bring a handheld fan with you. It may also get cold at night, so you’ll want to bring layers. Bring a scarf to wrap your face from blowing sand, if it’s windy.

What to see & what to do in Sahara desert in Morocco
The most popular thing to do in the desert is to take a camel ride. It’s best to go at sunset or sunrise to avoid the heat and sun of mid-day. The camels are tall but move slowly. Visitors can also rent an ATV to ride up and down the sand dunes. Or, borrow a board from the resort to go sandboarding down the dunes.

Where to stay when visiting the Sahara desert, Morocco
Yasmina Desert Camp is a fantastic place to stay with both resort facilities and camp facilities. Staying in the camp is like “glamping“. You’ll be in a sturdy tent with a bed and electricity.

To get here, fly into the Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport, and take public transportation to get to Vieux Lyon.

What to see & what to do at Vieux Lyon, France
Delight your taste buds with a walking food tour of Vieux Lyon, or take a guided tour of the traboules. If you purchase the Lyon City Card, a guided tour of Vieux Lyon is included with your pass.  You’ll get some gorgeous photos of the colorful, picture-perfect courtyards! 

There are also plenty of museums in Vieux Lyon including a puppetry museum and the Museum of Cinema and Miniatures.

Where to stay when visiting Vieux Lyon, France
You’ll love staying at the Villa Florentine, a 5-star hotel in Vieux Lyon.  Plus, it’s only a six-minute walk from a fabulous bakery. Pastries are the perfect way to start your day in Lyon!

In order to get to Vilnius, fly into the Vilnius International Airport, and take a taxi into Old Town (it’s about a 15-minute ride.)

6. 1. Providence Canyon State Park, Georgia, USA

Orange hues in providence canyon state park in Georgia
Providence Canyon State Park, Georgia, USA | Camping Kiddos

Name of place: Providence Canyon State Park

Location: Lumpkin, Georgia, USA

Highlights
This incredible 33.5 m (110 ft) deep canyon began as a 1.5 m (5 ft) ditch 150 years ago! The product of mismanaged agricultural run-off, Providence Canyon State Park continues to grow and deepen today, showing orange-colored rocks. 

Tips for visiting Providence Canyon State Park, Georgia
For the best experience, go hiking in Providence Canyon State Park between October and March. There will be fewer crowds and bugs, and the temperatures are much more pleasant for exploring in the woods. 

You’ll also want to bring your own snacks and water as there is limited availability at the small park store, and there aren’t any nearby stores or restaurants.

What to see & what to do at Providence Canyon State Park in Lumpkin, Georgia
The best thing to do in Providence Canyon State Park is to hike the Canyon Loop Trail, which takes visitors from the visitors center, down onto the canyon floor, and back up onto the rim. 

You’ll get incredible views of the reddish-orange clay walls of the canyon from the bottom and top!

On the canyon floor, there are 9 optional canyon-side trails. Take at least one or two as each small canyon area has its own unique landscape.

Where to stay when visiting Providence Canyon State Park, Georgia, USA
Providence Canyon State Park doesn’t have any overnight accommodations, and the nearby small towns of Lumpkin and Omaha, Georgia, also have limited options. Instead, head over to Florence Marina State Park, a short 10-minute drive west of Providence Canyon. Florence Marina State Park has adorable and reasonably priced 1- and 2-bedroom cabins for rent.

Bryce Canyon hoodoos, Utah, USA | Outdoor Adventure Sampler

Name of place: Bryce Canyon National Park

Location: Utah, USA

Highlights
One of the most beautiful orange landscapes in the world is Bryce Canyon in southern Utah. Bryce Canyon National Park preserves the weather-carved hoodoos and arches that tower up from the canyon floor. These sandstone columns look like candle wax drippings on the horizon. In the morning or evening light, the golden colors are spectacular for photos. 

Tips for visiting Bryce Canyon, Utah
Bryce Canyon National Park is open 24/7 year round. Bryce is on an elevated plateau, so it tends to be chillier than other Utah National Parks. You need to pay a fee to enter Bryce Canyon on a per-vehicle basis which is valid for 7 days.

Visits in the spring and fall offer pleasant temperatures. Winter is a popular time to see the beauty of the hoodoos covered in snow. Summer conditions will be sunny and hot.

You can fly into Cedar City Airport and rent a car, however, if you plan to visit more of the national parks of the desert southwest, consider purchasing an America the Beautiful Park pass and flying into an international airport such as Salt Lake City or Las Vegas.

What to see & what to do at Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah
The best way to see the canyon is to hike through the majestic rock spires and fins. The Navajo Loop, a moderate 2.5 km (1.5 mi) trail, is one of the best canyon adventures in Utah.

The trail descends into the canyon at Sunset Point and climbs out on the switchbacks of Wall Street. A walk along the rim back to the trailhead provides a panoramic view of the orange-colored features of Bryce.

Horseback riding is another way to see Bryce’s beauty. Organized trail rides into the canyon follow gently winding trails through the many formations in the park. Other activities popular in Bryce Canyon National Park are ATV rides, fishing, mountain biking, and canyoneering.

Where to stay when visiting Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, USA
You can find a couple of accommodation options at Bryce Canyon. Lodges, resorts, inns, and B&S’s. The Lodge at Bryce Canyon, a comfortable historic hotel, is located right in the park.

Hikers and adventure seekers will love Zion as it is home to some of the most iconic hikes in the country including the incredible Angel’s Landing, a 6.7 km (5.4 mi) round trip hike (using chains) to a peak with stunning views of the National Park below and the Narrows, an adventurous hike through the Virgin River. 

Tips for visiting Zion National Park, Utah
Zion National Park is open 24/7 year round. The best time to visit is in Fall from September to November as the weather is lovely at this time of year and there are fewer people.

You need to pay a fee to enter Zion National Park on a per-vehicle basis which is valid for a week. If you are planning to visit more than one National Park it is more economical to purchase an America the Beautiful Park pass which gives you year-long access to all National Parks in the USA.

What to see & what to do at Zion National Park, Utah
As there are lots of things to do in Zion, it is recommended to plan a Zion itinerary to make the most of your time in the National Park and cover as many attractions as possible. Aside from Angel’s Landing and the Narrows, some of the less strenuous walks in the National Park which are beautiful and great for families include the Emerald Pools Trail and the Pa’rus Trail.

Where to stay when visiting Zion National Park, Utah, USA
If you don’t want to camp in the National Park itself, it is best to stay in the town St. George, which is about a 30-minute drive away. Here you will find great restaurants and facilities like Walmart and Starbucks. There are lots of good accommodation options in St. George with Ramada by Wyndham St. George being a good choice as it has clean and comfortable rooms at a fair price.

Capitol Reef National Park, Utah, USA | USA Adventurer

Name of place: Capitol Reef National Park

Location: Utah, USA

Highlights
Capitol Reef National Park is Utah’s hidden gem national park, which features the incredible Waterpocket Fold, a long upward fold of the earth’s crust that created a distinct line of ridges full of canyons and trails to explore.  

Tips for visiting Capitol Reef National Park, Utah
The best time to visit Capitol Reef is definitely in the spring and fall, when temperatures are much more moderate and pleasant. Located in southern Utah, Capitol Reef is about 4-5 hours from either the Salt Lake City airport or the Las Vegas airport.

Capitol Reef is always open (and its remote location makes for incredible night sky gazing). Many areas of the park are free to visit, but some do require a per-vehicle entrance fee or a America the Beautiful Park pass.

What to see & what to do at Capitol Reef National Park, Utah
There are a lot of great trails in Capitol Reef, and a favorite is the Cassidy Arch trail – which takes you from the canyon up to the rim of the waterpocket fold, and then to Cassidy Arch, where you can actually walk on it (a very rare allowance for arches in Utah).

If you’re only spending one day in Capital Reef, you definitely need to stop in the Fruita District. Stop by the blacksmith and schoolhouse, then go pick some fruit from the orchards, and finally stop by the Gifford House for a freshly made fruit pie.

Where to stay when visiting Capitol Reef National Park, Utah, USA
While you can camp in Capital Reef, the closest town to the park is Torrey, which has a few lodging options. The best hotel in this tiny town is the Broken Spur Inn.

Haleakala National Park, Hawaii, USA | Uprooted Traveler

Name of place: Haleakala National Park

Location: Maui, Hawaii, United States

Highlights
Haleakala National Park is home to the world’s largest dormant volcano and offers otherworldly landscapes, including colorful cinder cones and craggy lava fields.

Standing at an eye-popping 3.055 m (10,023 ft) above sea level, the summit of Haleakala is a popular destination for watching the sunrise above the clouds and also offers a number of awesome hiking trails, like the Sliding Sands Trail, which takes you down into the volcanic landscape of the Haleakala Crater.

Tips for visiting Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawaii
To enter the park for sunrise (or anytime before 7 AM), you’ll need to snag one of the coveted 50 daily reservations for vehicles.

If you’re unable to get your hands on one of the reservations, go with a tour, or hang out in the park for sunset, which is arguably just as stunning as sunrise — and a little less painful to wake up for!

Either way, you’ll need to pay an entrance fee per private vehicle to enter the park.

What to see & what to do at Haleakala National Park, Hawaii
There are several incredible hikes to explore at the summit of Haleakala. For beginner hikers, the Pā Kaʻoao is an easy trail that leads to the top of a cinder cone and provides excellent vistas over the rim of the volcano.

For something a bit more adventurous, consider booking a reservation at one of the wilderness cabins in the park, one of which is actually located at the base of the crater. You can access it by hiking 6 km (3.7 mi) along the Halemauʻu Trail or 12 km (7.4 mi) along the Sliding Sands Trail.

Where to stay when visiting Haleakala National Park, Hawaii
The only place to stay in the park is either its campgrounds or wilderness cabins. If you prefer less rustic accommodations, consider a stay at the Paia Inn, in the funky surf town of Paia at the start of the famed Road to Hana.

Just be aware that Haleakala is located in a relatively remote section of Upcountry Maui, so you’ll have to drive over an hour from Paia (or most other towns with more formal accommodations) to reach the summit.

Old Town in Cartagena, Colombia | Sand And Elevation

Name of place: Old Town in Cartagena

Location: Colombia

Highlights
If you love vibrant cityscapes, Old Town in Cartagena, Colombia, also known as “the walled city,” is a must-visit destination. It’s located on the Caribbean coast of northern Colombia behind a fortress of walls constructed over two centuries.

The buildings serve as stunning examples of architecture of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries which made the city a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walking the narrow streets of Old Town will send you back in time while marveling at the sights and sounds of its colorful present.

Tips for visiting Old Town in Cartagena, Colombia
Many travelers wonder if Cartagena is safe to visit, and the answer is yes. It will probably be decades before Colombia loses its reputation as a dangerous place, but tourism more than tripled from 2006 to 2018. 

The best time to visit Old Town in Cartagena is the dry season, from late December through March.

What to see & what to do at Old Town in Cartagena, Colombia
Begin your walking tour at Baluarte de Santo Domingo, where you can walk along fort walls and enjoy ocean and Old Town views. Head towards Plaza de Bolivar, where you can sit and people-watch or take photos of exquisite colonial buildings. 

The attractions near this plaza include the small yet fascinating Museo del Oro Zenu (Gold Museum) and the exquisite Catedral de Santa Catalina de Alejandria, completed in 1612. 

Restaurants and street vendors selling food are plentiful in this neighborhood. San Mateo restaurant is just up the street from the Catedral and worth a stop.

Where to stay when visiting Old Town in Cartagena, Colombia
Staying in Old Town will cost more than staying in other parts of Cartagena, but it’s worth it. Bocagrande and Getsemani are also popular areas to stay in, but they don’t match the charm and beauty of Old Town’s boutique hotels, known as “casas.”

Harran will fascinate you with its beehive houses, called kumbet. They have been built in the same way since 5000 years ago and the present ones are about 200 years old. Their domed shape provides coolness in summer and warmth in winter.

Rose oil, straw, clay, and egg white were used for the construction. As the household grew, the houses were expanded by adding new cells. Houses up to 5 meters high inside have survived to this day. You can enter some of the houses to see what they look like inside and how people live in there.

Inside the city walls of the ancient city, you can see the remains of a fortress palace, a mosque, a tomb, a bath, markets, a courtyard with a fountain, a perfume shop, and of course, the beehive houses.

One of the earliest known universities in the world was founded in Harran in the 8th century, as well as the first Islamic university.

Where to stay when visiting Harran Beehive Houses, Türkiye

Where to stay when visiting Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kyoto
To properly experience Japan’s head Shinto shrine and all the temples in cultural capital of Japan, consider staying in the historic Higashiyama District in Kyoto.

✈️ FLIGHTS: I use Skyscanner in combination with Google Flights to find amazing flight fares (try the Explore feature). I book directly with an airline or pair it with Iwantthatflight for the best deals.

🏨 ACCOMMODATION: Booking.com is my favorite site for finding great hotel deals. They return the best rates and reviews are from actual guests!

🚘 RENTAL CARS: Discover Cars are my go-to, when planning an epic road trip.

🗽 TOURS & ACTIVITIES: I like to wander around on my own, but when I want to explore with a group, skip the line with an entrance ticket, I book it with GetYourGuide or Viator.

❤️‍🩹 TRAVEL INSURANCE: I never, under any circumstances travel without insurance. In most cases, I use yearly global travel medical insurance. But, if you don’t have that and some impromptu travel plans occur, use SafetyWing. With them, you can buy travel insurance even when you are already abroad. Better be safe, than sorry!

📲 ONLINE SAFETY: NordVPN keeps your devices’ browsing safe and malware-free. Stream shows from around the world, access social media in countries where they are blocked and buy cheap flights by changing your virtual location.

🛜 STAY CONNECTED WITH eSIM: Ditch the plastic SIM cards and waiting in lines at the airport! Airalo eSIMs allow you to connect as soon as you land at your destination. They have eSIMs for over 190+ countries worldwide.
