14.Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii
Travel to your wanderin’ wordsmith’s birth state. There on the Big Island, you will find this wonderful national park. Travel there in May and you will discover the weather gets no warmer than 84 degrees Fahrenheit.
Yes, this is a year-round travel destination, but late spring is actually the best time to visit if you’d like a vacation that includes a blend of beach time, nature, and culture. While the eruption of the Kilauea volcano in 2018 forever impacted the scenery, the park is still one of the planet’s most special travel destinations. Cruise Crater Rim Drive and don’t miss Nāhuku a.k.a. The Thurston Lava Tube.
Check out the steam vents and smell the unforgettable sulfur gas near Kilauea’s crater. Go whale-watching, snorkeling, and swimming. Take an island-hopping tour, see Haleakalā National Park, and visit all the other islands’ attractions as well.
The Most Breathtaking Places To Visit In Hawaii
15.Zion National Park, Utah
Last but not least on our list is Zion. Temperatures here never go higher than 84 degrees Fahrenheit in May. Indeed, it’s dry and sunny and the weather is cooler at higher elevations. The majority of the hiking trails here are open, and you can enjoy them without the summer crowds and scorching heat.
Nevertheless, always check the park’s official website. Even if the weather is fine, sometimes trails are closed due to construction efforts or even flooding. In May the Virgin River has high water levels so it’s also a great time to check out the waterfalls.
Unfortunately, May is also the start of the peak season, so while all facilities are generally open, the park can still be quite busy even if school is still in session. Avoid weekends if you can; especially Memorial Day weekend. Start your day as early as possible too!
