Yellowstone National Park is one of the best places to travel to in May. With winter\u2019s fury long gone and spring\u2019s bounty in full swing, there\u2019s much to explore. Come May, all roads in the park are fully open along with the majority of hiking trails. Spring also means an abundance of wildflowers and newborn bison and elk can be seen roaming the park, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Jackson Hole, Wyoming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Summer is an incredibly popular time to visit the beautiful Jackson Hole, Wyoming. So, visiting in May means beating those summer crowds and potentially enjoying off-season prices for accommodations and attractions. Weather can be slightly unpredictable during the spring season. But, that\u2019s the only downside. Go hiking, biking, observe the active wildlife, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Williamsburg, Virginia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This next pick is for the future historians in the family! Williamsburg is a premier destination for learning more about early American history, specifically in Colonial Williamsburg where actors don period attire and visitors can get a true taste of colonial life. Like many other spots on our list, Williamsburg is a buzzing summer destination. Visiting in May means fewer crowds and comfortable temperatures. If you\u2019re traveling with the kids, be sure to stop by Busch Gardens Williamsburg<\/a> for even more fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re visiting Newport during May, be sure to pack a few extra layers! While the spring season typically means rather comfortable temperatures in New England, the occasional cold front and ocean breezes will certainly have you cooling off. Regardless of the weather, those summer crowds haven\u2019t swarmed the city come May so you can easily enjoy the area\u2019s trolley rides and delicious restaurants.
