Nothing says adventure like high-altitude sightseeing. The trek to the top of a mountain provides an exhilarating challenge, while the views at the summit give you an unforgettable reward. Sound like your kind of getaway? Then, here are some spring break travel ideas you’re sure to love.
We can’t talk about mountains without talking about Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This quiet town is home to the famous Teton Mountains, and the tallest of them all is Grand Teton.

With that said, the climb is absolutely worth doing. In fact, there are over 100 established routes to make it to the top, all with varying levels of difficulty. There’s no shortage of hiking trails around Grand Teton National Park either, so if you’re looking to travel, you’ll never get bored at this spring break destination.
