The Ranch Hudson Valley inhabits a Gilded Age mansion, an unlikely backdrop for a wellness retreat.

The Ranch Hudson Valley — Sloatsburg, New York
The original Ranch in Malibu, a longtime favorite of celebrities in search of a transformation, perfected its multi-day wellness programs for more than a decade before bringing its approach to wellbeing to the East Coast for the first time. In New York's idyllic Hudson Valley, the Ranch inhabits a stunning Gilded Age-era mansion, an unlikely backdrop for a wellness retreat. It's been reimagined with 26 elegant rooms, a 5,000-square-foot solarium with a pool and sauna, and a fitness studio in the grand ballroom, and somehow it all works. Four- to seven-day itineraries are packed with morning hikes, afternoon yoga sessions and sound baths, daily massages, and more; menus are plant-forward and daily meals are limited at 1,400 calories, but everything is flavorful, delicious, and surprisingly filling. Given the varied activities on the schedule, you'll want to pack your favorite workout sets, a few swimsuits, and a pair of hiking boots—but be sure to throw in some cozy outfits for downtime spent enjoying the game room or curling up by the fire in the great room to journal before dinner.

Hailey Bieber Confirms Her Favorite Animal Print for Summer
When spending the festive and ski seasons in Aspen, you can usually find Hailey Bieber ensconced in cozy coats, usually an animal print, by way of vintage Ralph Lauren or Saint Laurent. Now we've officially hit warmer weather and the knell for summer will soon toll on the fast approaching solstice, Bieber continues to hold onto her leopard print allegiance. Yesterday (June 10), Hailey Bieber made her first public appearance since closing her major deal on her beauty and skincare behemoth brand Rhode. The beauty mogul took to the stage of The Business of Beauty Global Forum to discuss her brand's acquisition for a cool billion. And of course, for the occasion, Bieber wore Saint Laurent—as a close friend of creative director Anthony Vaccarello, even recently presenting him for an award for his own achievements, and as an ambassador for the house. The recent Vogue cover star opted for a leopard print crepe mini-dress with an open back and ruched front, with black open-toed pumps. Bieber wore her hair in a middle part, curled delicately to the ends. Her nails were a soft, pale pink, and her makeup was minimal—maybe a hint of Rhode's pocket blush in Piggy. The mini-dress is a Bieber staple, usually paired with a sleek pump and a set of dark sunglasses. Saint Laurent is an obvious go-to, but Bieber and her stylist Dani Michelle have also surfaced some major mini archive finds, like a Tom Ford-era, icy blue number. It's long been the time of the LBD, the animal print trend is proving itself transeasonal—and the Little Leopard Dress is a statement maker like no other.

Pilot program in the works for a public Red Rocks shuttle in the Denver metro area
Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre in Colorado is one of the most popular attractions in the state, and it may soon have a public transit option to get there.

RJ Sangosti/MediaNews Group/The Denver Post via Getty Images Whether it's hiking or attending a concert, many visitors are driving to get to the world-famous venue. Officials in Denver and Jefferson County are building on an idea first shared by the environmental advocacy group Green Latinos to develop some form of public transportation. Currently, RTD's W line can take riders from downtown Denver all the way to the Jefferson County government center in Golden. But that's the end of the road for the line. The plan being considered is to use a shuttle -- either vans or buses -- to take light rail passengers from Golden to Red Rocks as well as several other outdoor attractions. Jefferson County Commissioner Andy Kerr referred to it as "West tracks" and would include a stop at Dinosaur Ridge, mountain biking and hiking areas as well as Red Rocks. Kerry said the hope is to do a test run in the fall. "We were really hoping to get something off the ground this summer but a lot of our partners -- Jefferson County, Denver Parks have offered up some money for this summer -- it might just be a weekend where we run the shuttle from here from the Jeffco government center and try it out. Hopefully people come and use it and we can work out some kinks so that next summer we could as early as the Memorial Day weekend really hit the ground running and maybe have this up and running," Kerr said. RTD says Jefferson County did submit an application for their partnership program, which allocates grant money for a service that would have stops at Red Rocks, but they say the proposal would not accommodate evening concerts. Kerr says currently the W Line doesn't operate late into the evening and for purposes of the pilot program they wanted to avoid having trying to get RTD to adjust service hours.
