I am a marathon runner and our hotel`s Running Concierge. Every week, I encourage my guests to discover Moscow and join me for a run.

Go early and visit Duck Inn, a stylish restaurant that specializes in, you guessed it, duck. Grab a table in the beer garden and enjoy their rendition of a Chicago-style hot dog known as the duck fat dog!

The big draw for visitors is Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.
