USA - West

Pacific waves crash on golden dreams, June to September shines with Western flair

8 spots8 speciesJuly
The best time to visit the West is between June and August, when sunny days light up Yosemite and San Francisco’s fog lifts. With 20°C to 30°C weather, it’s perfect for surfing LA, hiking Rainier, or exploring Portland. For fewer crowds, try May or September.
