After a year of lockdown and social distancing, Americans are ready to enjoy post-COVID life, to travel and connect again with family and friends. Since we’re not totally out of the woods yet, we’ve put together some getaway ideas that avoid the big crowds.

Take a Road Trip

The automobile trip is a quintessential American experience. Here are three ideas for an unforgettable road trip in the wide open spaces of “America the Beautiful.”

1. Blue Ridge Parkway—Specifically designed to be a leisure driving experience, this 469-mile road from North Carolina to Virginia offers a calm excursion through rural and forested landscapes, connecting the Shenandoah National Park and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
2. The Grand Circle Loop—For an otherworldly adventure, the Grand Circle Loop will take you into some of the most beautiful and unusual landscapes anywhere in the world, including Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef and Grand Canyon National Parks. Wide-open spaces couldn’t be safer or more breathtaking!
3. George Parks Highway—This 323-mile road runs from Anchorage to Fairbanks, Alaska, providing the traveler a picturesque trip through Alaska’s interior and access to Denali National Park. Of course, while there, tack on your own preferred Alaska experience: whitewater rafting, calving glaciers, wildlife photography or fishing.

Hold a Family Reunion

If your preference is a family reunion in a safe environment, consider a dude ranch experience in Big Sky country, the magic of Sedona, Arizona, relaxing in paradise or diving into an earlier era.

Oh, one more thing… other are looking to enjoy life post-COVID, get started now before the tourist traffic becomes too heavy.
