Going off the grid for a few days is always a nice way to recenter yourself, especially during this hectic year. Since we’re in the middle of what seems like a never-ending pandemic, traveling within the U.S. has been more desired among Americans this summer.

If you’re in need of remote locations where you can take a breather in a beautiful environment, check out these four destinations.
