“The summer before I went off to college, my dad and I took a trip to Denali National Park in Alaska. We spent our days hiking the alpine trails, taking guided walks through the tundra, learning about the local flora and fauna (including the occasional bear) and canoeing on crystal clear Wonder Lake, with a stunning view of Denali in the background.”

“When I was 12 my dad took me to Dublin to visit my grandparents. He wanted to show me more than the city, so we drove across the island to the cliffs of Moher. Along the way we were met with narrow, winding roads, medieval ruins and, of course, breathtaking views once we reached the coast.”

“My sons are 11 and 14. Recently, I took them to Southern California for their first big surf pilgrimage (well, body-boarding, for the younger). We went to T-Street, County Line, Huntington Beach Pier. And, of course, mecca itself: Trestles. The day we went, the first person I saw pointed to a lady and said, ‘She just saw a shark in the lineup.’ I didn’t think it would be right to take my kid out to meet the men in grey suits (read: great whites), so we just watched. But we’ll be back.”

“When my brother and I were 14 and 16, respectively, my dad took us on a legit safari mission in South Africa. We clattered through rivers in old battered Humvees driven by a pair of ex-military guides who described anything great as “100 percent,” watched the sun set over the bush while troops of baboons passed by, and grilled steaks the size of encyclopedias outside a lodge with more taxidermy than you can shake an N.R.A. card at. I will never forget that stuff.”

“I spent most of my 21st year in Seville. For a week in April, my old man visited. We rented a SEAT the size of a soapbox car and headed south, puttering our way through the picturesque pueblos blancos: the white villages of Andalucía, where the days are long, the nights longer and the outlandish tales men spin over lunch each day longest of all.”

“My dad always takes me fishing. So recently, I flipped the script and invited him to come with me, to Sundance, Utah, where we fished nine miles of the Strawberry Reservoir on foot. The fish there are very skittish, so rewards go to the soft-footed. My dad caught the monster rainbow of the day at night, as bats swooped down on us from overhead.”
