State parks. Hiking personal urinals. Look on Amazon.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
