With July in full swing and August just around the corner, there's still plenty of time to make the most of summer. Whether you’re looking to unwind, explore the outdoors, or experience something new, these standout destinations offer the perfect escape before fall arrives.

1. California/Nevada – Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe is a summer favorite with its clear alpine waters and breathtaking mountain scenery. Enjoy swimming, paddleboarding, or boating by day and cooler temperatures at night—perfect for relaxing under the stars. Beaches like Sand Harbor and trails along the East Shore make this a top pick for mid-to-late summer adventures.

2. South Carolina – Myrtle Beach
Myrtle Beach is full of summer energy with warm ocean waves, sandy shores, and plenty of entertainment. From fireworks at Pelicans baseball games to live music and fresh seafood, it’s a vibrant spot to soak up what's left of the season.

3. Oregon – Bend and Cannon Beach
For outdoor lovers, Bend delivers with hiking, river adventures, and even a nostalgic visit to the last Blockbuster. Prefer coastal charm? Cannon Beach offers peaceful views, local art, and the iconic Haystack Rock. Both give you a taste of Oregon’s best during late summer.

4. Maine – Acadia National Park
Acadia is one of the most beautiful places to explore before summer ends. With miles of forest, ocean views, and famous hikes like Cadillac Mountain, it’s a perfect spot for biking, kayaking, or simply slowing down in nature.

5. Colorado – Boulder
Boulder blends outdoor fun with cultural flair. Hit the trails by day, then enjoy live music, local festivals, and craft breweries by night. Events like Bands on the Bricks and the Colorado Shakespeare Festival keep the summer vibe alive into August.

6. Wyoming – Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone shines in late summer, offering incredible sights like geysers, waterfalls, and wildlife. It’s a great time for camping, kayaking, or exploring the park’s many trails while the weather is still ideal.
