How to Travel the US in Curated Style This Summer

Elevate Your Great American Adventure

At Edge of Wonder Travels Unlimited, we know that traveling the U.S. doesn’t have to mean fighting through crowds at the Grand Canyon or checking into a cookie-cutter resort. Summer 2025 is your time to explore America differently — with insider access, hidden gems, and curated elegance woven into every mile.

Here’s how to experience the best of the U.S. this summer — the Edge of Wonder way.

1. Skip the Usual National Parks and Go Off the Beaten Path

Sure, Yellowstone is iconic. But how about:

  • Great Sand Dunes National Park (Colorado): Epic stargazing, sandboarding, and almost zero crowds.
  • Voyageurs National Park (Minnesota): Island-hopping by private boat under the Northern Lights.

Pro Tip: We can arrange private guides, eco-lodges, and custom excursions in America’s most stunning, lesser-known parks.

2. Swap Big Cities for Stylish Small Towns

  • Instead of New York City: Explore Hudson, New York, with its artsy boutiques and vineyard picnics.
  • Instead of San Francisco: Discover Healdsburg, a farm-to-table haven tucked into wine country.
  • Instead of Miami: Head to Rosemary Beach, Florida for chic seaside serenity.

Insider Tip: We know where to find the historic inns, luxury ranches, and charming hideaways that make these towns shine.

3. Embrace Private, Authentic Experiences

  • Chartered yachts in the San Juan Islands
  • Private culinary tours through Charleston’s hidden kitchens
  • Behind-the-scenes art tours in Santa Fe

Pro Tip: We can build fully customized days around your passions — whether that’s fly fishing, modern art, or horseback winery hopping.

4. Travel at the Right Time

  • June: Cool mornings in the Rockies, early blooms in the Pacific Northwest.
  • July: High alpine adventures and coastal escapes.
  • August: Maine’s wild blueberries, Great Lakes sailing, and late-summer magic.

Insider Tip: We plan your itinerary to flow with the best festivals, local events, and secret seasonal sweet spots.
