Cheap (non-National Park) travel recs for this summer, please

I agree with Canada. The exchange rate is favorable to Americans, which makes it a bit cheaper. And there's so much to do. If you're looking for something rural, we just loved Tadoussac! It's quite a far drive but wonderful hiking, whale watching, etc. Gorgeous. And you can combine with with Quebec City and/or Montreal if you want to do city stuff as well.

Because she mentioned 2 parks she really wants to go to and people were giving input on whether concerns about those parks seemed warranted. Not all the info is in the post’s title.

Watkins Glen and Letchworth State Parks are great in NY state.

You can drive to Canada in one day from the dc metro area. Do a mix of cities and outdoorsy stuff.

I wonder if my car would get keyed.

Because anxiety over national parks is silly. Seasonal hiring is moving forward.

It is shocking to me how ignorant most people are about our own country. You can literally choose any area of the US and plan a great vacation. Including near both of these parks.

But maybe they want to explore outside of their own country.

State parks. Hiking personal urinals. Look on Amazon.
