If you haven't started planning your trips for the upcoming year, here's a good place to start.

From the vineyards of Texas Hill Country to New York's Adirondack Mountains, these are the 10 US destinations you should hit up before they become mainstream.

10. Emerald Coast, Florida

Once known as the "Redneck Riviera," Florida's Emerald Coast has become increasingly upscale. The area is still affordable, though, and boasts beautiful stretches of white sand beaches like Destin, Okaloosa Island, and Fort Walton Beach.

9. Denver, Colorado

Next year will be the first year that Denver's ski train resumes service, conveniently taking skiers and boarders right to the slopes. And if you're not a fan of winter sports, there are plenty of concerts, microbreweries, and marijuana dispensaries to keep you busy in the Mile High City.

8. Texas Hill Country, Texas

Texas might not be the first place you think of when you think of wineries, but the Lone Star state is the fifth-largest wine producing area in the US, and the Hill Country region boasts dozens of vineyards.

A trip along Wine Road 290 lends itself to a variety of tastings, plus there's the Dripping with Taste Food & Wine Festival and the Kerrville Folk Festival.
