Looking for ideas to take my wife and youngest daughter on a late summer vacation. Probably no more than 6-7 days. Has to be stateside as youngest daughter doesn't have passport. Guess I could get her a passport, but international trip would probably be more than I could afford right now. Hoping to find someplace relatively cool, with horseback ( for the daughter) maybe some light hiking, rafting or canoeing, and neat scenery.
So toss up some ideas!

Doesn't New Mexico and Arizona have places where you can do all that?

Big Bend, but still might be a little warm. The night sky is spectacular.

Wat about Canada? You don't even need a passport to go there if you are a US citizen, do you?

Doesn't necessarily need to be that particular place, but the Colorado mountains would have everything you would be looking for, and it's not too far away really.

I loved NYC when I went a couple years back. Really cool place, lots to see and do.

Driving the Oregon coast is a vacation I've taken many times as well, really love that. We always camped and drove dune buggies/ATVs on the sand-dunes which was my favorite part.

Florida was an awesome place I went for a few weeks. Rented a car and drove around being a beach bum and checking out cool towns. Just body surfing and enjoying body-temperature water is a great time on its own.

San Fran is another cool city with neat stuff to do, really killer restaurants and a clean pretty city with neat cultures and just a good vibe.

I even went to Vegas a couple times before I was legal age and it was fun... all the roller coasters, cool shopping places, the desert, the bright lights, hanging by the pool.

Some good ideas here, thanks guys! Mostly for this trip, I don't want to go anywhere over 90f Been in summer for almost two years now it seems (with the traveling) I want some cool air for a bit. lol

Not sure when we'll be going yet, have to find out when school starts back up, and try to arrange some real time off with the boss.
