A
This year, most people have probably spent more of 2020 canceling travel plans than booking them, but it’s not too late to reverse that trend. Here are some vacations you can plan this fall.
Road trip to a local farm
Visiting a farm is “number one” travel pick right now. Price plays a big role in that suggestion. Apple picking, for example, is usually very affordable, with some orchards (果园) offering products by the pound, for $1 or $2, and others offering a flat fee for an all-you-can fill bag for about $30.
Visit a national park
There are 421 national parks in the U.S., so odds are you’ve got one in driving range. If you’re up for a challenge, you can climb the Half Dome in Yosemite or race down the great sand dunes in Colorado. The parks are also affordable. An annual pass, which guarantees entry to every park for an entire family, is just $80.
Plan a camping trip
It doesn’t cost much more than camping. Most states have dozens of drive-in camp sites, while you can also find cabins in the $50-$100 per night range. There’s no shortage of activities, either — whether it’s fishing, hiking, biking or just perfecting your camping recipe.
Rent an RV (露营车，房车)
RVs are a prime option for a cheap vacation. Using an RV for a vacation means you’re paying for your transportation and lodging all in one. Also, considering that some two-person RVs can go for as little as $175-$200 per night, you can easily find yourself traveling around the country without breaking the bank.
