Escaping the crowds in prime vacation destinations

School holidays, winter sports, the alluring summer sun. All guarantee that at certain times of year, great destinations will see enough tourists to make any crowd-conscious traveler stay home. When most people set out for vacation, prices skyrocket, reservations become scarce, and all the good vistas come with a side view of fellow travelers. If you're searching for serenity (and who isn't these days?), maybe off-season travel is what you need. Who said you can't have an adventure in February or that April showers bring sad travelers? Not us. We found some spots that lead the pack for things to do, attractions to see, and restaurants to try when the well of tourists has run dry. Take a look at our list of places that shine better than ever when the crowds disappear.

Silver City NM

Summer love is far spread across the country, but some areas, like the American southwest, have bad reputations for sizzling a little too strong. Silver City, however, sits at 6,000 feet and boasts mountain air and mild temperatures, with mid-summer numbers rarely climbing above the 80s Fahrenheit. While summer is not its true off season, it is the perfect time to beat the heat, and the city is never overstuffed, even in popular months. The great outdoors stretch in every direction, but there is fun to be had in town, too. Catch a glimpse of the thriving music scene at Little Toad Creek Brewery and Distillery. Shop and eat your way through Historic Downtown, and enjoy colorful murals along the way.
