The last few days of school are just around the corner and Moms and Dads across the country can feel the bubbling surplus of free time ready to release itself from the floodgates. “Are we going away this summer?” Yes, you are!
With the help of trivago’s hotel data, we’ve picked out three destinations each in a different corner of North America. Further, with the strength of the U.S. Dollar, Americans looking to venture into Canada this June will be greeted with an extra 36% savings on the dollar (per the exchange rate at the time of publication).
Your Key West Getaway
Weather Forecast: High 88°F ~ Low 79°F
For one of the surest guarantees of good weather in the U.S., the outlook for Key West this June is in one word: sunny. Do as the locals do and get the keys to a scooter or bike to slow travel your way through Key West.
Watch out for hotel prices rising from June 7 – 12 while Key West gets painted with the colors of the rainbow for Pride. But heck, when the party is this good, you ought to join right in!

Eden House ★★★★

The quiet Eden House is a classic of Key West thanks to Mike Eden and his team. The building, which dates back to the 20s, has been renovated with rooms outfitted with Simmons Beauty Rest mattresses to collapse into while consciously leaving out clocks and radios to let you better adjust to Key West time. A complimentary happy hour cheekily promises “only the finest inexpensive liquor.”

What to do in Key West in June?
Some come to do the Duval Crawl (a 43 cocktail-long bar hop) around the southernmost city of the continental U.S. Some come to get in touch with nature with a trip out to Dry Tortugas National Park or getting out onto the water with their paddleboard. We asked our friends at the Florida Keys & Key West for their help in pointing us to their favorite events to make a June visit all the better…

June 2-4. With a mission to reverse the endangerment of reef building corals in the Keys, participants first get trained by the folks of the Coral Restoration Foundation on how to care for coral nurseries and other regenerative activities. Then on Saturday things get hands-on where individuals can help the CRF team with their restorative efforts down below.
“An explosion of color as the sun goes down, underwater visibility rising to near clarity, fragrant frangipani wafting on a cool evening breeze and a more relaxed vibe is what awaits you during the month of June in Key West”

Though it’s been seven years (already!) since Whistler largely hosted the Winter Olympics, there is still tons to celebrate in North America’s largest ski destination. If you’ve tried all of Whistler-Blackcomb’s pow, it’s about time you rediscover this West Coast destination by summer, like paddling down the River of Golden Dreams.
What’s more? Hotel prices plummet in warmer seasons, delivering five- and four-star stays at two-star prices. See our top picks below…
Aava Whistler ★★★

Lauded as Whistler’s most bike-friendly hotel, the Aava caters to summertime MTB helmetheads seeking a hotel that doesn’t mind the extra bits of mud they bring in at the end of the day. After passing through the bike wash and tool station, the Aava’s bike valet can safely store your wheels for the night. Borrow one of Aava’s free GoPro cameras to capture your day on the dirt trails.

June 17-18. So you’ve heard of Tough Mudder, the insane, mud-trodden military obstacle course. This June, Whistler also hosts the Toughest Mudder with two different eight-kilometer circuits that push daring participants from 12 midnight to 8 a.m. Cheer on these certified badasses, and who knows… the adrenaline in the air may just convince you to join the 2018 edition!

Your Mont-Tremblant Getaway
Weather Forecast: High 27°C ~ Low 9°C
Similar to ski hills across the country, Mont-Tremblant, the pocket sized alpine village of the Laurentian Mountains, is open as well for summertime fun. Pair your June trip to Montreal with a green escape to the North to see what lies below Tremblant’s powder.
Fairmont Tremblant ★★★★★

As the only five-star hotel in Mont-Tremblant, June could very well be the month that you enjoy a pampered stay at the Fairmont Tremblant without breaking the bank. Well-appointed rooms, the pool and hot tub facilities and a high caliber of guest service bring trivago users back year after year. The hotel concierge can help with reserving a tee time at one of five golf courses near the Village.

What to do in Mont-Tremblant in June?
Stuffed with summer activities, try your hand (or rather feet) at some of the hiking trails, mountain biking routes and horseback riding trails snaking around Mont-Tremblant. When not testing your skills at falconry or making at splash at Aquaclub La Source, the Village’s restaurants throw together a mean summer menu and a well-earned gelato for the end of the day.
Stretch out with Lolë

June 2 -4. Just because the ice has melted away, doesn’t mean that hockey is not top of mind. The Burrows Cup comes to Tremblant with 13 different categories of ball hockey and $30,000 on the line. Organizers promise “the fastest paced hockey out there” that comes without having to move the nets for the odd car, thankfully.
