Best Places in the USA to Enjoy the Spring Colors

Winters are harsh. It’s too cold for comfort, gets worse when it rains, and snow — though it looks beautiful — just makes everything harder for everyone. The winter season may have a positive side too but let’s face it, most of us wait eagerly for the spring season. This is when everything in nature begins to “start living again.” Flowers start to bloom, numerous wildlife species come out of hibernation, frozen rivers and ponds spring back to life. The breathtaking sights, the sweet fragrances and the soft melodies of nature make our soul dance. If you’re someone who likes to indulge in the simple yet great pleasures of the spring season, then check out some United Airlines flight deals, book a flight to one of the following places and have a beautiful spring vacation.

      

Fresh air, beautiful blue sky, bright pink, yellow, red and white flowers, greenery all around — the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the spring season is a sight to behold. However, the chirping birds and tiny creatures scurrying about are not the only reasons people throng to this UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the spring season, the best of this little piece of heaven comes out at night. When it’s dark all around, countless synchronized fireflies come out and perform an enchanting dance that mesmerizes spectators and helps them make memories to be cherished for a life time. The best way to get to this national park is to make Etihad Airways reservations and fly to Knoxville. It’s only about an hour’s drive from there.    

        

Surreal — that’s the word that best describes Antelope Valley in the spring season. Located in California, the crown of this valley is the California Poppy Reserve that has drawn travelers from near and far, for decades. Miles and miles of green expanse covered with a blanket of bright yellow and orange blooming poppies make for a bewitching sight. While exploring this place, remember that it’s only called Antelope Valley. There have been no Antelope sightings in almost a 100 years. If you want to visit Antelope Valley, then book a few United Airlines tickets and fly to Los Angeles. From there, you can drive out to the valley as it’s just a 2 hours’ drive away.

 

Vibrant psychedelic hypnotic long rows of tulips. You have to be there to understand the magic this place creates. Skagit Valley — being home to a number of tulip bulb farmers — hosts the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. Every year, in the month of April, domestic and international travelers visit the valley to soak in all the elegance exuded by nature’s artistry. It’s true that all the spots mentioned in this list offer great photo-ops. However, if it was a competition, then Skagit Valley would take home the trophy for being “the most beautiful location for clicking photographs in the spring season.” Such is its beauty and charm. Check out some cheap airline tickets online, fly to Seattle, drive to the valley and join in on the festivities of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival.

     

When we’re talking about spring and the beauty it brings, one place that holds utmost important is Washington D.C. This is where the National Cherry Blossom Festival is organized. It is hands down one of the most beautiful spring festivals on the planet. An annual event, along with celebrating all the goodness that the spring season brings, it also celebrates the occasion when cherry blossoms were received as a gift from the mayor of Tokyo in the year 1912. The spectacle these baby pink flowers (that appear to be almost white) create is other worldly. The best way to enjoy this exquisite display of natural wonders is by taking a boat tour in the Potomac River. So, hop on an Etihad Airways flight, fly to Washington D.C. and attend this magnificent festival.
