Feeling adventurous? Want to soar with the eagles instead of flapping around the office all day?
Consider flying above Santa Barbara.
There’s more than one way to see the coastal city from the air, such as a helicopter tour or hot-air-balloon ride. But if you want to feel the wind whipping your face while navigating your own course through the skies, there’s nothing quite like paragliding, hang gliding, or, for an extra burst of power, paramotoring.

Land Rovers are engineered to get through even the most extreme elements, whether that’s crawling over a boulder in Moab, Utah, or powering through a blizzard in Lake Tahoe. While many Land Rovers may never ford a 2-foot-deep stream, the vehicle’s impressive capabilities cement its rugged status. And, with the introduction of Land Rover’s new 2015 Discovery Sport, not only is this go-anywhere SUV now more accessible, but it also delivers a distinct luxury edge.
From the curb, the 2015 Discovery Sport shows off a chiseled, geometric shape that’s defined on the side by a dramatically styled rear door that slants forward and stops just short of the floating gloss-black roof. A clamshell hood, distinctive side air intakes and jewel-like headlamps evoke the top-of-the-line Range Rover model, though the Discovery Sport can be had for less, starting at just $37,995. The fully loaded Discovery Sport HSE Luxury version, which adds a premium 11-speaker sound system, Windsor leather seats, and a slew of other detail and technology touches, goes for $45,570.
