Want to take a vacation in July
Posted on 6/10/20 at 2:59 pm
Posted on 6/10/20 at 2:59 pm
I’m looking to go somewhere cool to get out of the heat for a week. I want the following few things:
1. Beautiful natural scenery
2. Pleasant temperatures (so gulf south, Las Vegas, and Phoenix are basically out)
3. Little to no covid restrictions so I can eat in a restaurant or drink a beer in a bar
4. No cities with large protests
5. Relatively inexpensive air travel (less than $350 round trip) or within driving distance of South Louisiana.
Probably traveling alone and renting a car when I get there. Mostly looking for more nature, hiking, and scenic drives than nightlife.

I doubt there will still be ongoing protests into July...
and I don't know what you consider "within driving distance"? does that mean within a days drive?
I don't know if you will be able to get anywhere in the mountain west with your limitations on budget, so maybe North Carolina or eastern Tennessee is where you should look?
Although you might not see that much of a break from the heat, as you will still be relatively in the South

All hot. OP, your list sounds just about unobtainable.

I assume in July that temps will be 95 with 100% humidity with maybe a decent breeze off the water? No thanks. That’s the opposite of what I’m looking for.
TBH, I’m thinking intermountain west or maybe Great Lakes area.
I’ve heard good things about outdoor activities in Michigan, especially the upper peninsula, and I know summer weather along the lakes is absolutely gorgeous, but the government there has everything locked down like crazy.

Denver?

Less than 10 hours driving.
I can raise my flight budget a little if necessary, but definitely no way I could afford international flights. I can’t afford to drop a grand just on getting there.
Denver’s probably a good plan so long as I don’t spend much time in the city. Seems their Covid restrictions are really not bad at all.

You can fly to Canada for less than 350 RT
I see RT from New Orleans to Quebec for 280 July 17-20
I see RT to Toronto for 250 from July 9-14th

You have my attention. Any recommendations on places I should go or see? Montreal and Quebec seem nice, but so does BC. I think Banff is closed currently, though.
I already have a passport, though I know one isn’t necessary to go there.

Is a 14 day quarantine required to Canada or when you return? ?

Just suck it up and drive to Colorado, you will save on flights and car rentals and spend money on gas a couple of extra nights in a hotel.

You can fly roundtrip MSY to Denver for less than $100 in July. It's Spirit but still, that's pretty damn cheap even adding in their excessive bag fees.

Flights to Denver are like $100. It’s not an unaffordable destination. I’ve been there a couple times. I wanted to see if there were any other possibilities that might work.
Canada, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Illinois, California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, and Michigan, all have absurdly restrictive Covid regulations, some of which would require 14 day quarantines.
Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico are mostly too hot this time of year.
That pretty much leaves Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and South Dakota out west or maybe the Smokey Mountains out east.

Portland, ME fits the bill.
Maine is waiving the 14-day quarantine if you have a negative Covid test within 72 hours of your arrival.

We're flying to Seattle in July and renting a car to check out Olympic national park and the San Juan islands. They have a bunch of protest bs going on in Seattle but we don't plan on spending any time in the city. Flights were pretty cheap.

Good luck.
