Useful Tips
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to Washington D.C. to see the National Mall and Smithsonian museums. If you have less time, consider skipping one of the national parks and spending more time in other cities. Also, be sure to book accommodations in advance, especially during peak travel seasons.
