If you’re planning a trip in June, I can tell you it’s one of my favorite months to travel. To me, everything feels more alive, sunny, and full of possibility. I’ve found that this time of year gives you the best of both worlds. You get warm weather without peak-season crowds in a lot of places.

You can explore national parks before they get too busy. I like to relax on quieter beaches. Or visit cities while festivals and events are just starting to pop up. I always try to pick a spot where I can enjoy long days outdoors and cool evenings with local food and live music. If you’re not sure where to go, I’ve got some favorite June destinations that I think you’ll really love.
