Ah, July. The height of summer, when places like Glacier National Park in Montana are finally as warm as Florida is all year 'round, and Jacksonville weather turns unbearable. Looking for a cool summer destination to beat the heat? Ford recommends five gorgeous National Parks.
- Yellowstone
Location: Wyoming
Attractions: America's first National Park, Yellowstone is famous for its active hot springs and geysers, and for close encounters with rare wildlife, including bison, elk, wolves, and grizzly bears. - Adirondacks
Location: New York
Attractions: The best East Coast wineries can be found in this 6 million-acre park. Be sure to take a tour of some of the breathtakingly luxurious rustic mansions that once served as "camps" for the Gilded Age elite, including the Rockerfellers and Vanderbilts. - Yosemite
Location: California
Attractions: Giant sequoia trees big enough to drive a car through, cascading waterfalls, and tall alpine cliffs that attract the most daring rock climbers in the world. - Glacier National Park
Location: Montana
Attractions: Historic chalets and preserved sites used by early western settlers, wildlife including mountain goats and lynx, and pristine glacial lakes can all be seen at this mountainous park that runs along the Canadian border. - Grand Canyon
Location: Arizona
Attractions: As one of the most famous attractions in the world, the Grand Canyon offers everything from helicopter tours, mule rides, white-water rafting, camping, hiking, and of course, scenic vistas and photo opportunities.
The best way to get out and see all these amazing locations is in a new Ford Expedition from Coggin Ford. With three spacious rows of seating, and available voice-activated GPS navigation, it is the perfect companion for any cross-country road trip.
