Yellowstone
#1 in Best Places to Visit in May
By late May, most of Yellowstone’s trails and attractions are open, welcoming eager nature enthusiasts seeking a breath of fresh air. The 50-degree temperatures provide the perfect atmosphere for a hike on one of the Old Faithful Area’s trails or a kayaking excursion on Yellowstone Lake. For a glimpse of wildlife, head to Lamar Valley to view wolf pups emerging from their dens. Keep in mind that if you visit during Memorial Day weekend, you’ll likely run into crowds.

May is a great time to visit this seaside Spanish city before the heat and humidity become unbearable. Can’t-miss architectural marvels to check out include Antoni Gaudí’s whimsical Park Güell and the Gothic-style Sagrada Família. Make sure to also visit some of Barcelona’s highly regarded museums, such as the Picasso Museum, and relax at La Barceloneta beach. Remember to bring good walking shoes to wear while exploring the city.
