Top 10 spring break destinations - Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Top 10 spring break destinations - Jackson Hole, Wyoming

While some of us are eagerly awaiting the return of spring flowers, others may be longing for one last hurrah on snow-powdered peaks — and we’re particularly keen on the last-minute spring break destination of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Wyoming.

Visitors in 2010 can partake in the Jackson Hole Mountain Festival March 26 through March 28 - a weekend of free-style skiing and snowboarding events, accompanied by live music acts.



When you’re not on the slopes, you can saddle up and test your rodeo skills on the mechanical bull located just outside the ever-popular Mangy Moose Saloon.



Don’t forget to allow yourself a couple days of pampering at one of several Jackson Hole spas — it’s the perfect remedy for tired ski legs.

Top 10 spring break destinations - Gulf Coast, Mississippi

Gulf Coast, Mississippi

While spring breakers this year may find the tragic devastation in Haiti too fresh, with the infrastructure too diminished at present for any effective hands-on efforts within the country, there are plenty of opportunities to translate thoughts of a do-good spring break vacation into action. Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast in August 2005, and though thousands gave their money and time to the rebuilding efforts, the work is far from over.



It will take years, and maybe decades, to rebuild and repair businesses, homes, and most importantly, lives in the Gulf. Thousands of students spent last year’s spring break doing hands-on volunteer work in the region and beyond – the United Way is a great place to start your research, as they send students between the ages of 18 to 24 from all over the country on ABS (Alternative Spring Break) each year to lend a hand.

A growing favorite amongst travelers in search of good-value package deals, the Dominican Republic has become a hugely popular spring break destination that vies with Cancun in affordability and atmosphere.






The second-largest country in the Caribbean (after Cuba), the Dominican has something for everyone seeking a little fun under the sun, from Vegas-style casinos, nightclubs, and all-inclusive resorts, to horseback riding, golf, surfing, diving, and hundreds of miles of white-sand beaches.

Top 10 spring break destinations - Amsterdam

Head out for some no-holds-barred vacationing at these popular spring break hot spots.

Lake Havasu City CVB
Introduction

Spring break time is almost here, sounding the signal for some no-holds-barred vacationing — as such, we've concocted a list of the best destinations to party during this raucous time off. For some of us, this short break is an excuse to visit the world’s most salacious spots, where illicit activities, like underage drinking and access to red-light districts, are more popular than sightseeing.

You'll find plenty of forbidden fruit on offer in a liberal European capital, a Thai island, and, closer to home, a Canadian city — a trio which, notwithstanding, is known to offer a good dose of culture, too. For those content with the spring break destination staples of beaches, bikinis, and beer, we’ve counted two homegrown beach cities that make the grade and, of course, a Caribbean and Mexico option.

Rounding out our list are some unexpected spots, however, including something for do-gooders, a final ski getaway, and a desert-fringed lake in America’s Southwest. Party on!
