Ten Great Vacation Spots in the U.S.

There are so many vacation spots right in the USA, why even consider going abroad? Choose from one of these domestic attractions, fit for singles or families, where you can plan a vacation to fit any budget.

The Oregon Coast

Experience foliage like you've never seen when you rent a car and drive down the Pacific coast. Begin your journey at Astoria, where jewel-toned forest lands and rivers converge with Highway 101. As you travel south, stop at Depoe Bay, the smallest natural navigable harbor in the world, to watch the whales and otters. Marvel at Florence's sand dunes, and finish your trek at Gold Beach.

Colorado Springs, Colorado

You'll be up close and personal with Pike's Peak right beside you in this beautiful Rocky Mountain region. You can find a cosmopolitan resort hotel like the Broadmoor for skiing in the winter or swimming in the summer, or choose a cozier venue. Stop at places like the Seven Falls that decorate Cheyenne Mountain Canyon, where author Helen Hunt Jackson lived among the Indians she loved so much.

Miami, Florida

Spend your vacation in Miami, and let yourself bask in the rays of the warming sun on the golden beaches. Most people think of the sizzling nightlife, but you'll love the cultural experiences available in Miami. This city offers hundreds of houses to explore in the Art Deco district at the famous-or infamous-South Beach. Take your family to visit Miami's zoo, rated among the ten best in the USA.

Williamsburg, Virginia

Transport your family back into history at beautiful Williamsburg. This is a place where old homes, taverns, restaurants, and businesses are well preserved. The employees are well-trained artisans who dress and work to show you life as it once was. For more traditional family fun, you're not far from Busch Gardens and Water Country USA.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Experience multiple cultural opportunities in Pittsburgh, an old city associated with its sports teams. Ride a cable car up the side of a steep incline and gaze out on the rivers below-then take a riverboat cruise. Visit the dinosaurs at the Carnegie, attend the symphony, learn about robotics, explore a conservatory, a planetarium, and an aviary, and shop in Shadyside. Then you can wrap it all up with a trip to Kennywood Park.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Forget Aspen and Vale-you can ski in Jackson Hole, another great Rockies location. You can also go dog sledding or snowmobiling, hike along wilderness trails, take a dinner sleigh ride, and much more. This haven offers family friendly packages all year round.

Tombstone, Arizona

Take a trip to the Town Too Tough to Die, as it's called, the location of the Gunfight at the OK Corral. Walk the streets of Tombstone where Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday once roamed. Have a cool drink at the Crystal Palace, still open for business. Take a stagecoach tour, and visit Boot Hill Cemetery, where they like to keep them cool at night.

Ogunquit, Maine

Maine's lacy coastline is the result of pounding by glaciers, and you can explore many lighthouses along its shores. You'll learn about hauntings, daring rescues, and heartbreaking tragedies. Learn about America's coastal fishing industry. In Ogunquit, you can take a balloon ride or enjoy the fine, white sand along the beach.

Taos, New Mexico

Visit artistic Taos if your main interests are ecology and Indian culture. Attend one of the festivals that celebrate dance, music, culinary experiences, and more. Taos is a haven for artists, and you'll find many small museums and shops. The natives have respected Mother Earth for over six hundred years, and there are many ideas for true green living here.

Cleveland, Ohio

You'd be surprised what you can do at or near the so-called mistake on the lake! In Cleveland, explore the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame museum. Just an hour south, you'll find the Football Hall of Fame. You're also close to Cedar Point, voted the best amusement park on Earth for over a decade. While you're in the area, don't forget to attend an Indians baseball game or cheer for the Cavaliers.
