Frank Lloyd Wright’s last house is open for vacationers in Ohio

The construction of Frank Lloyd Wright’s last project, RiverRock, has reached completion and is now open for overnight rentals in Willoughby Hills, Ohio.

While internationally renowned for his flagship projects including Fallingwater in Pennsylvania and the Guggenheim in New York, Wright also created a design for smaller, more affordable residences called Usonian homes. RiverRock was Wright’s final Usonian blueprint, delivered in 1959.

More than 60 years later, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home was built on the homesite as originally intended. The 2,000-square-foot home features heated floors, a full kitchen, a large glass-walled living room with expansive views and a wood-burning fireplace (riverrockhouse.com).

Amtrak Vacations has unveiled “Yellowstone to Yosemite by Rail — Teddy Roosevelt Trail,” a 14-day trip that takes participants from Chicago to San Francisco and includes overnight stays at hotels near Yellowstone and Yosemite National Parks, plus Salt Lake City. The getaway also features two nights onboard Amtrak’s California Zephyr train and sightseeing.

The route approximates the one featured on the TV show “Yellowstone to Yosemite With Kevin Costner.” Both follow the same journey taken by President Theodore Roosevelt and naturalist John Muir from America’s first national park (Yellowstone) to Yosemite Valley in California. Pricing begins at $2,679.

Six travel companies, including Airbnb, have agreed to stop promoting or selling tickets to animal rides at the Great Pyramids of Giza. The move comes as a result of efforts by PETA to shine a light on the bleak lives and excessive cruelty that camels and horses are subjected to at the pyramids.

A PETA-led investigation documented handlers violently beating exhausted horses and camels, who are used to haul tourists in the blistering sun. “PETA applauds Airbnb and other travel companies for shunning these shameful rides,” PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said in a statement.
