7. Colorado Springs
You’ll find Colorado Springs on the border of the Great Plains and the well-known Colorado Rockies. It is reportedly “easily accessible” from almost anywhere around the United States. This Colorado town is said to be home to a number of free attractions. Visit the popular Garden of the Gods and have a picnic between the striking red rocks or go for a little swim in the creek ensconced in popular North Cheyenne Cañon Park.
8. Portland
The Pacific Northwest’s Portland, Oregon, is known for its boutique shops and countless craft breweries. Still, it’s also a place where you’ll find many budget-friendly things to do, too. If you visit between Memorial Day and Labor Day you can take a free tour of the almost five-acre large International Rose Test Garden. Portland also holds a farmers market and a number of different free outdoor concerts every summer.
