One year ago, any plans you had for a spring getaway were likely canceled. Mine were. I was slated to go camping in Joshua Tree National Park in mid-April, and I remember the email from the National Park Service like it was yesterday: “We wanted you to be aware, this location is closed. Your reservation has been canceled and refunds have been issued.” It was the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and so much was unknown. Now, one year and a whole lot of chaos later, spring travel doesn’t exactly look like it did way back in 2019, but with the proper precautions, a break from the grind can happen in some shape or form. Here’s some inspiration for a much deserved budget-friendly spring trip to celebrate the fact that you made it through a year none of us could have anticipated.
