Where to Go in June in the USA
June brings long days, green landscapes and the beginning of summer across the USA. It is an excellent month for coastal journeys, national parks and cooler northern destinations.
Acadia National Park, Maine
Why go in June
Acadia is especially beautiful in June, when the coast is green, the days are long and Bar Harbor begins its summer season. Enjoy scenic drives, gentle walks, lobster lunches and early-morning views from Cadillac Mountain.
How to plan it
Fly into Boston or Bangor, then continue by private vehicle to Mount Desert Island. Stay for three or four nights and reserve well ahead for Cadillac Summit Road.
Where to stay
The Claremont Hotel offers a classic coastal Maine stay, while The Inn on Mount Desert is a charming base close to Bar Harbor.
Seattle & the San Juan Islands, Washington
Why go in June
June is a lovely time for the Pacific Northwest, with mild temperatures, clear views of the mountains and long evenings by the water. Combine Seattle’s food and culture with a few peaceful days sailing or exploring the San Juan Islands.
How to plan it
Fly into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, then continue by private transfer or seaplane to the islands. Allow five nights for both city and coast.
Where to stay
Four Seasons Hotel Seattle is ideal in the city, while Roche Harbor Resort offers a relaxed island setting.
Alaska
Why go in June
June is one of the best months to experience Alaska’s dramatic scenery, wildlife and near-endless daylight. Cruise past glaciers, watch for whales and bears, or explore Denali’s wide-open landscapes.
How to plan it
A journey can begin in Anchorage, Juneau or Fairbanks, depending on your preferred route. Allow at least seven nights to combine a lodge stay, scenic rail travel or a small-ship cruise.
Where to stay
The Lodge at Torrey Pines? No better to arrange handpicked wilderness lodges or an Alaska cruise itinerary according to the route you choose.
