We may be halfway through August, but the hot summer weather isn’t going to let up anytime soon. With temperatures in the 90s, it’s time to head for a nice, cool swimming hole.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!
