There are many destinations to see throughout the US, and timing is crucial to getting the most from your visit. If you choose the right season for your break, you’ll be able to experience each place at its best.

Spring

March to May is the perfect time to book apartment rentals in Washington, D.C. You’ll get the chance to see the glorious cherry blossoms in their peak season while you take in some of the other main attractions, including Capitol Hill and the National Air and Space Museum.

Summer

Across the country, there are many amazing sights to be seen in the summer months. You can head down to California and take a road trip, enjoy the grape harvests in Napa Valley, or hike through Yosemite National Park. If you want to see amazing wildlife in its natural habitat, Alaska is the perfect place to go; at this time of year, you can even watch the bears on their salmon runs.

Fall

New England is an obvious destination in the fall months, with an abundance of color decorating the forests. For those who can’t handle the southern summer heat, now is the ideal time to visit places such as San Francisco and Hawaii.

Winter

If you want to head to the slopes in the winter, there are plenty of resorts throughout the country, including Loon Mountain and Jackson Hole. If you prefer some late sunshine, Miami and the Florida Keys are still beautiful, and New Orleans swings into Mardi Gras mode around February.
