Road Trips: Big Adventure, Small Budget
Who doesn’t remember those fun family or weekend road trips? Packing the car, choosing a destination, and letting the open road wash over you. The thrill of a road trip is half-scenery and half-chance.
Immersed in the scenery, visitors can discover new stops and attractions. If you’re lucky, a seemingly inconvenient detour leads us into historic town’s off-the-beaten-path.
The road trip is a classic experience that offers you the freedom to choose destinations near or far from the crowds.
Wherever your wanderlust heart longs to be, the 9 Lakes Region welcomes families or friends looking for an affordable and memorable vacation. If mountains or lakes are on your list, yep, we got that. Looking for a National Park experience, the region has five of those. Culinary adventures? Museums? Dude Ranch? Yes, yes, and yes.
Vacations don’t have to be expensive. We have created some budget-friendly trips for you to customize to your tastes. To learn more.
