Summer is a season of adventure and we can’t wait to hear about all the incredible trips you will embark on! We’ve listed five of the best vacation spots for you to consider as you finalize your summer travel plans.
Cape Cod, Massachusetts: Aptly nicknamed “The Cape,” Cape Cod serves as the ultimate seaside retreat. Its quaint bed-and-breakfasts and idyllic beach bungalows make for a crisp, quiet escape from the outside world. The town’s seemingly endless seashore is colorfully speckled with sails, kayaks and fishing boats and boasts some of the world’s best seafood dining. For the artistically inclined, take a day trip to the close-by bohemian Provincetown, which boasts a unique, free-spirited atmosphere and eccentric art galleries. Cape Cod’s slow-paced charm consistently woos the hearts of both its visitors and residents, making this vacation spot the go-to place for a sweet summer getaway.
Yellowstone National Park: With territory in Idaho, Wyoming and Montana, the park is America’s icon of widespread natural beauty and rugged adventure. For the nature enthusiast, this vacation spot offers breathtaking sites and outdoor activities for days. A utopia of untouched terrain, Yellowstone’s 2.2 million acres offers the solace necessary for rejuvenation. Old Faithful, Yellowstone Lake and Mammoth Hot Springs are just a few of the attractions you won’t want to miss while visiting Yellowstone. Whether you’re wildlife watching, hitting the trails or simply “getting away from it all,” Yellowstone is a destination that ensures both adventure and relaxation - quite possibly at the same time.
Aspen, Colorado: Flanked by the majestic Rocky Mountains, Aspen is more than just a “winter wonderland.” In the summer, visitors embark on the city’s famous trails - like the ones found on the twin peaks of Maroon Bell. For a more laid back retreat, check out one of Aspen’s many spas or take a therapeutic dip in a Glenwood Springs natural pool. Book your trip now to savor one of America’s most beautifully rustic cities.
Charleston, South Carolina: This historic antebellum town is perfectly perched on the coast of the southeast. Painted with colorful beach homes and mystical Spanish moss-draped trees, Charleston is home to the some of the most innovative and interesting restaurants, shops and art galleries in America. In fact, Charleston locals dedicate a whole week to promoting their highly acclaimed dining. For the history buffs, check out Fort Sumter, Wentworth Mansion or The Battery. Whether you’re a deep-sea fisher, a Civil War historian, a lover of seafood or simply a site-seer, Charleston is worth adding to your list of vacation spots this summer.
New Orleans, Louisiana: A distant hum of jazz bands can be heard throughout the European-style streets of this bayou city. The French Quarter is famous for its colorful architecture and mouthwatering Cajun cuisine. Keep time with the rhythm of New Orleans nightlife on Bourbon Street, brush up on American history at the National World War II Museum or bring out your spooky side with the city’s famous cemetery tours. If you’re looking for a vibrant vacation where culture and flavor abounds, then the Crescent City is the place for you this summer.
