We Asked 7 Travel Experts Their Favorite U.S. Summer Destinations—and They All Picked the Same Region

"A remote, immersive coastal wilderness where long summer daylight hours make for outstanding wildlife encounters — whales commonly swim nearby, eagles soar overhead, and bears forage along shorelines. The area feels peaceful and awe-inspiring but is changeable, so travelers are advised to pack layers and be prepared for sunshine, mist, and an early-fall chill." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
