We tend to think of U.S. News & World Report in terms of college rankings, but they analyze and rank other things too, including great vacation destinations, cruises, hotels and inexpensive travel spots. And unlike those college ones, where the near-impossibility of admission is a through line for the top contenders, these affordable travel picks are accessible to everyone.

There are park-adjacent destinations, too, that range from Tennessee’s Gatlinburg (No. 14), which lies just outside Great Smoky Mountains National Park, to Maine’s Bar Harbor (No. 6), the gateway to Acadia National Park. And beautiful beaches, lush forests and historic cities share the limelight.
