Spring is one of the best times to travel. The weather is fair, nature is awakening from her frosty slumber, and everyone is ready to shake off their winter blues.
If you’re ready for a vacation, here are some of the best springtime vacation spots you should check out.
The Grand Canyon
Peak tourist times for the Grand Canyon are during the summer, so if you visit in the spring, you’ll be able to beat the crowds. Springtime is also one of the best times to hike the Grand Canyon since the daytime temperatures average anywhere in the 50s to the 80s.
The exact temperatures you face will depend on where you are in the canyon, but it’s safe to say you’ll enjoy fair weather.
National Park Week happens in April when admission fees are waived at the Grand Canyon and every other national park. If you’re looking for a vacation adventure that won’t put a huge dent in your wallet, the Grand Canyon in April is ideal!
San Diego
San Diego has a lot to offer for vacationers. You have ocean views, proximity to national parks, and lovely nature displays like the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch.
The weather in San Diego during the spring is mild and enjoyable, but it won’t be warm enough for swimming. San Diego is also home to mouth-watering local eateries, so it’s a great vacation spot for foodies!
Sedona
During springtime, Sedona’s red rocks and vibrant desert vegetation are at their peak. Sedona is known for more than 200 hiking trails that are pleasant and comfortable during spring, thanks to the nice weather.
Plus, local festivals and fairs pick up in the spring, like the Sedona Yoga Festival.
Yellowstone
Like the Grand Canyon, planning a trip to Yellowstone during National Park Week can get you free admission!
Springtime in Yellowstone is when the snow melts and baby animals begin their first explorations across the beautiful terrain. If you love wildlife, Yellowstone is the perfect vacation spot because you’ll be able to see everything from trout to bears.
New Orleans
For a fun cultural experience, check out New Orleans. Visiting in the spring means you get to beat the crazy Mardi Gras crowds while still enjoying all of the things New Orleans has to offer.
Weather in the spring fluctuates between the low 70s and high 80s and is bright and sunny. This city is another great vacation spot for foodies since New Orleans is known for its savory and cultural cuisines.
Miami
Miami is a great vacation destination for travelers who want to swim and relax on the beach!
The city has several different beaches to accommodate travelers’ styles. Travelers who love nightlife should check out Miami’s south beaches, while those looking for quieter or more family-friendly fun will feel right at home at North Beach.
Heading into downtown Miami, you can experience cultural diversity and find lots of fun foods to keep you happy!
