Cape Cod National Seashore is world famous for its absolutely gorgeous beaches and several historic lighthouses. There are dozens of trails throughout the park that wind through salt marshes and white cedar forests or climb over sand dunes and cliffs that lead to secluded beaches.

The Cape Cod Rail Trail also runs the length of the park through the towns of Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown. It’s perfect for walking, biking, or running with delightful views along the way. There aren’t any campgrounds managed by the National Park Service in the area, but there are two amazing state parks and several private campgrounds nearby.

Mount Greylock State Reservation is home to the highest peak in Massachusetts of the same name. Not only are there a handful of fun and challenging hiking trails that lead to the top of Mount Greylock but during the summer months, you can actually drive to the top in your car or camper van. Take the winding scenic road or hike up on foot for impressive views of the Taconic Mountains in New York, the Green Mountains in Vermont, the White Mountains in New Hampshire and the Berkshires in Massachusetts. 

The city of Boston is the capital of Massachusetts and one of the most historic cities in the country.

The Freedom Trail is a two and a half mile walk through Boston that passes by 16 significant US historic sites.
