We tend to think of U.S. News & World Report in terms of college rankings, but they analyze and rank other things too, including great vacation destinations, cruises, hotels and inexpensive travel spots. And unlike those college ones, where the near-impossibility of admission is a through line for the top contenders, these affordable travel picks are accessible to everyone.As you might guess, national parks and natural wonders figure prominently on the “best cheap vacations in the U.S.” list for 2023-2024. A quarter of the 20 destinations are national parks. California’s Sequoia & King’s Canyon National Park, for example, gets a shout-out at No. 5, thanks to its gigantic trees, stunning scenery, abundant trails and year-round access.There are park-adjacent destinations, too, that range from Tennessee’s Gatlinburg (No. 14), which lies just outside Great Smoky Mountains National Park, to Maine’s Bar Harbor (No. 6), the gateway to Acadia Nati...
