Autumn sets the northeastern woods ablaze, winter turns mountain towns into ski villages, spring brings the farmers' markets back, and summer keeps beaches and backyard grills busy until late. The same road trip feels like a new journey in every month.
Expect snowy winters in the north, humid summers in the southeast, dry desert heat in the southwest and tropical warmth in southern Florida, while much of Alaska stays subarctic. Pack for the region and the month. A Local Friend introduces you to their own neighbourhood, from the corner diner to the park that fills on the first warm Saturday.
