While the\nOuter Banks are mostly known for the history they hold, they also make a great\nspringtime getaway destination! For the history buffs, visit where Orville and\nWilbur Wright took their famous first flight, where the pirate Blackbeard\nfought his last battle, or develop your own hypothesis on where the mysterious\nLost Colony disappeared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be\npicturing the sultry, dry desert scenes that are usually associated with\nArizona. Not in Flagstaff, where it is in cool\nhigh mountain country. In springtime, the colors will just be popping back up\nwith average temperatures in the 50\u2019s. You\u2019ll find sky blue lakes backdropped by the highest mountain range in\nArizona, the San Francisco Peaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The robust\ntown is teeming with options for those who like to relax or get active, witness\nnatural beauty, or the foodies who want to chow down on some of the best food\nin the region. Bike through vineyards or, for lighter activity and a bit of a\ntasting, take a wine country walking tour. Downtown you will find great food, and different activities including a\nmuseum where you can learn all about Healdsburg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re\nready to escape this quaint town, and its wineries, head to Healdsburg Ridge Open\nSpace Preserve. With charming views of the Russian River and miles of hiking\ntrails, this is a delightful way to spend a few hours away from the bustle of\ndowntown Healdsburg. Often absent of tourists, the landscape is a favorite with\nhikers because it changes from wide-open grassy fields\nto pine forests, to vernal pools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bend, Oregon<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Trying to decide if you want a skiing spring break or some sunshine you can enjoy on long walks? No need to decide here, Bend has both! Ski at Mount Bachelor, (ps – kids ski free!), or try biking, cycling, hiking, fly-fishing, rock climbing, or golfing. Sled-dog adventure on your bucket list? They\u2019ve even got that here! When you want to spend some time inside, treat your taste buds to the vibrant culinary scene of Bend. Did we mention Bend is known to make great craft beer? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n6.5-mile-long reservoir is a favorite recreation spot for activities such as\nboating, fishing, swimming, stand up paddle boarding, water skiing, sailing and\npicnicking. If the weather is too cold\nfor most of that when you arrive, there are many miles of trails surrounding\nthe reservoir for mountain biking<\/a>, horseback riding<\/a>, and hiking<\/a>. Additionally, on the east side of the reservoir is one\nof the best spots in Colorado for bouldering in Rotary Park<\/a>. Camping is available at the Reservoir, including;\nRV spots, campsites<\/a> and cabins<\/a>,\nall managed by Larimer County Natural Areas<\/a>.\nIf camping isn\u2019t your style, relax in one of the condos or bed & breakfasts<\/a> in the\narea, or maybe rent a boat from the marina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although\nthe average temperature for springtime in Yosemite is mid 50\u2019s, there is still\na chance you might show up and find a good layer of fluffy white snow\nblanketing the park. Regardless, springtime is a great time to visit Yosemite\nbecause the crowds vanish, and you\u2019ll usually save some money on ticket prices.\nEven if you show up and there is snow, you will get to experience a truly\nmagical, pristine, winter wonderland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do\nget lucky and spring starts early, you might catch a glimpse of the park coming\nback to life. If you\u2019re planning your spring trip in April, you will be in\nprime position to see the most amazing waterfalls. Yosemite Valley and the Wawona remain open all year, but the Tioga and Glacier Point Roads remain closed until the\npark services can get all the snow off the road. Hikes from Yosemite Valley<\/a>, Wawona<\/a>,\nand Hetch Hetchy<\/a> are\noften snow-free by April. However, as in winter, backpacking\noptions are very limited<\/a>. But have no fear! Whenever you decide\nto go, you will not be disappointed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
