These Are the Winners of the 2024 Sunset Travel Awards

Every time we sit down to judge the annual travel awards , we realize how spoiled for choice we are in the West. We truly have it all: the grandeur of our parks, national and otherwise; the charm of small towns and thrills of big cities ; thousands of wineries ; luxury resorts and retro motels ; spas and kayaking excursions and museums and so much more. There are literally thousands of thrilling choices for the Western traveler looking for a hotel to stay in, a meal to eat, an activity to pursue, or a method of transportation to get there in the first place.

This year we had yet another record-breaking number of entrants of the highest level, and picking just 125 winners proved to be a daunting honor. See below for the winners!
