Great Summer Family Vacations in the West
Many American families think that summer vacations require trips to amusements parks packed full of people where the main activity is waiting in line to enjoy a short thrill ride. While this vacation experience offers joy for some, it's certainly not the only way to spend a summer vacation.
For more freedom, fresh air and natural beauty, consider planning a summer family vacation in the West. These are the best destinations to consider for your trip:

Las Vegas doesn't always come to mind as a destination designed for families, but there's actually a ton of attractions for people of all ages.
