Good vacationing spots??

Question

Ok, so this summer my family and I want to go on a nice vacation. It can't be too far away from Montana because it's going to be a roadtrip. It can be over in California and we were considering Edmonton up in Canada but not some place like Florida, Mexico, New York, or anything like super far away. Any suggestions? Don't just give me Las Vegas, give me a list please. Warm weather too!

the best hoilday for me is going to skegness in the united kingdom beacuse its great. i always bring back skegness rock beacuse it is so nice. try it and i bet you now you will love it.

Answer 2

Since you said that you could go to Cali, i would rec commend visiting northern California. since you are on a road trip you can spend a day or two in different towns. (much closer than Southern Cali.) for the adults i would rec commend visiting napa (you may think this is pricey but there are ways to make it cheaper). here you can visit several wineries that al offer different wine tasting experiences. if you make a reservation at a hotel i make sure to ask the front desk staff about any coupons or discounts, they have all kinds of untapped resources. if you are interseted in napa look for a hotel that is not a chain (ie hilton, marriot, best western) they are generally more exspensive and set there rates according to occupency.

an hour north of napa is lake county, which is proud to have Cali's largest natural lake. there you can find camping on the lake as well of a slew of excellent lake adventures such as boating, skiing, fishing, para sailing, etc. (there is also wine tasting in Lake County) I would suggest checking out lakeport or kelseyville (towns in lake county) as well as the places mentioned there is quaint towns near the beach that are not overcrowded and quite lovely. try fort Bragg or Bodega Bay.

Edmonton certainly wouldn't be my first choice for a holiday destination, but I lived there for nine years and I don't really care for big cities.  If you do go there I'm sure you'll find plenty to keep you occupied - Fort Edmonton, Royal Alberta Museum, the river valley, West Edmonton Mall, etc.  There's also lots in the Edmonton area, so Edmonton could be a good base for enjoying some places such as the Ukrainian Heritage Village.

Alberta has lots to offer tourists.  There's the Drumheller valley - home to the Royal Tyrell Museum (dinosaurs) and what's left of the old coal mining towns that once dotted the valley.



The Crowsnest Pass has some beautiful scenery and might be worth spending a day or two there.  You can see the Frank Slide, coal mining ruins (yes, I have a 'thing' for old coal mining towns), hike out to a ghost town if you're interested, visit the underground mine at Bellevue.

Calgary would also likely be worth a visit - see Heritage Park, the Calgary Tower, Calgary Olympic Park, Calgary Zoo, etc.

From Calgary you could head west to Banff, then take the Icefields Parkway up to Jasper.  Along the way you'll see wonderful scenery and have a chance to stop at the Columbia Icefield.  There's a coach tour there that goes right out onto the glacier.  Banff is very busy and touristy, but Jasper is much more relaxed.  And all that mountain scenery is just wonderful.

From Jasper you could head east to Edmonton and then start working your way south towards home.

One suggestion might be to make your way up to Calgary, then do the Rocky Mountains through Banff and Jasper, go over to Edmonton, then down to Drumheller on your way back home.  I'm sure you'd find it an enjoyable trip.
