1 . Summer is the best time for traveling. When summer comes, people are wondering where to spend the holiday. Here we will introduce you some of the best destinations.

Santorini

Santorini offers a unique landscape of beaches in colors of black, red, and white, a product of their volcanic sand. Imagine swimming in the warm mythic Aegean sea, with volcano and sunsets as a backdrop. Churches are built into caves and are astonishingly beautiful.

Prince Edward Island

Canada’s smallest province proves a big draw for those keen to escape modern life and all its stresses. Known for its brilliant red sand beaches, this is the perfect getaway. The food here is legendary with the local seafood topping most menus. Cycling and skiing, hunting and fishings it’s all about the great outdoors here. With so much to do, it’s no surprise that visitors return to Prince Edward Island again and again.

Grand Cayman

Hit the shops in George Town, the capital, where all the best designer brands can be found. You’ll be spoilt (宠坏的)for choice although the crescent-shaped Seven Mile Beach is the most obvious destination. Head out on the water where coral reefs await. Great food, great weather and great tourist attractions for all what’s not to like about gorgeous Grand Cayman?

Lofoten Island

This is a wilderness unequalled in its beauty, where giant sea eagles soar. Visitors are drawn to the islands to experience the Northern Lights and Midnight Sun at close quarters and for those keen to get back to nature and escape the beaten track, there can be nowhere better. For a real treaty we recommend kayaking between islands before finding a nice quiet restaurant and enjoying the, fresh ingredients.

2 . Listen carefully. Don’t answer too quickly. At least, don’t say “yes” too soon. A friend might ask, “Want to take a hike?” You should say, “Where?” If he replies “The entire Appalachian Trail (阿巴拉契亚国家步道)”，take warning. Here’s why.

The trail is one of the longest marked footpaths in the world. It starts at Springer Mountain, Georgia. It winds (蜿蜒) along the top of the mountains. It goes through 14 states. It ends at Mount Katahdin, Maine. As the crow(乌鸦)flies, this is about 2,200 miles. But when walked, the trail is 2,600 miles. If you walk nonstop, it takes about six months to walk through the trail.

Most hikers begin from Springer Mountain. They start around April 1. This is why. The snow has probably melted (融化) in the south. But there may still be snow in the north. By the time they reach Maine, the snow will have been long gone. What’s the chance of making it nonstop? Here is the data. About 1,500 people try it each year. About 300 people make it. It is a great challenge.

Careful planning is necessary. There are problems to solve. The biggest one is the weight on one’s back. Too many hikers start out with too much. Wise ones don’t carry food. They send packages to post offices along the way. There are no campfires allowed. Some shelters are near the path. But the trail is crowded. It is hard to find space. A perfect tent is necessary. And it rains a lot. Great rain gear (用具) is needed. It should be light.

Benton MacKaye founded the trail. The first section of the trail was opened in 1923. It is cared for by volunteers in each state. Do you plan to go? Read lots of books by people who’ve done it.

4 . Yosemite National Park has long been a place of inspiration for artists, climbers, and nature lovers.

Yosemite Falls

Repeatedly popping into view over treetops and around comers as you drive through the valley, the falls look different from every angle, and it’s impossible to take your eyes off. You don’t have to hike or even get out of your car to appreciate this waterfall, but the most complete view of the falls is from the start of the Yosemite Falls hike, along the route on the left side of the river. You can walk right to the base of the falls with minimal effort and feel the mist sweeping over you.

Half Dome

Half Dome is one of Yosemite’s most famous sites and particularly well-known in the climbing world for being one of the first “big climbs”. This granite icon looks much different depending on the angle you arc viewing it from. Looking up at the sheer rock face from the valley, the enormity of the wall is obvious, and you can appreciate why climbers have been drawn here. The best place to view it is from the lookout at Glacier Point. From here, you get a true picture of the rock and how much higher it stands than the surrounding mountains.

El Capitan

Popular among climbers, El Capitan is a 3,000-foot sheer rock face on the north side of Yosemite Valley. Although it may not seem like it, El Capitan is actually 1,000 feet higher than the face of Half Dome. El Capitan gained interest with the free solo climb of Alex Honnold in June of 2017, and the Academy Award winning documentary film, Free Solo. He became the first person to climb El Capitan without ropes, and completely unaided.

Tunnel View

The most classic view of Yosemite Valley is from Tunnel View. This vista, which will feel very familiar to most visitors, stretches out to El Capitan on the left, Bridalveil Fall on the right, Half Dome in the distance, and also takes in the lush valley at the base of the huge granite walls. The best time to appreciate this scene is in the afternoon, when the walls are bathed in sunlight.

5 . Oregon is a beautiful Northwest State, filled with amazing places to visit. Many of these wonderful places are within National Parks. Here are some of this state’s fantastic national parks.

Crater Lake National Park

Crater Lake is one of the most unique areas in Oregon and the country. The park makes a great summer and winter time place to visit. Most of the year the park is covered in snow, and the summer window is very short, lasting only from July to October. During the short summer visitors can enjoy the Rim Drive, hiking, camping, fishing, swimming in the lake and even take a boat tour of the lake.

Fort Vancouver National Historic Site

Visitors to Fort Vancouver have the chance to learn about the history of the fur trade in the Pacific North-west. This place offers travelers the chance to learn about the cultures that lived in the area, and it also has information about the military history of this place.

John Day Fossil Beds National Monument
