The Most Beautiful U.S. Places to Visit in the Spring

Coachella Valley, Key Largo, a park in Virginia and more!

Spring is almost here! The website Thrillist just put together a great list of America’s most beautiful springtime destinations.

Coachella Valley, California was number one. All of the rain lately means that the wildflower bloom is exploding.

Key Largo, Florida is another one but, always go to Florida before the humidity hits. Key Largo is described as having, quote, “a funky taste of old florida without the crazy party crowds.”

Chena Hot Springs, Alaska may not be a super easy road trip, but that doesn’t make the destination any less awesome. It’s 50 miles north of Fairbanks and in the spring you can still see the northern lights.

Santa Fe, New Mexico was also listed due to it’s lively art-scene. April is when the Santa Fe society of artists opens their outdoor market.

If you’ve never seen a bluebonnet field come into bloom, you’re really missing out. That’s why Texas Hill Country was also named.

Finally, Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. The park hosts “wildflower weekend” in the first part of May with guided hikes to see the 850 different species of wildflowers.
