Start this one-week trip at Niagara Falls in Buffalo. Check out the falls, and even get up close with them by riding the Maid of the Mist. Next, head for Letchworth State Park, a.k.a. the Grand Canyon of the East.
Stop next is Rochester, where you’ll discover numerous attractions. Then check out the waterfalls and wine in the Finger Lakes region before cruising to Saratoga Springs, to enjoy a mineral bath and see a horse race. Then head to the Catskills Region and go hiking. End your trip in New York City, and see all the sights!
Give yourself two or three days for this 165-mile tropical road trip through the Florida Keys via the “Overseas Highway.” Do some underwater exploring at the well-known Spiegel Grove Shipwreck, and the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. Above water, take the Africa Queen through Key Largo’s various canals. Popular stops for meal breaks include Islamorada Beer Company and Robbie’s Restaurant, where you can actually feed tarpons from the boat dock, and the tiki-vibing Plantation Key’s Mile Marker 88 Beach & Bar too.
