"In October 2015, the Florida Keys Reef Lights Foundation sponsored a trip to Dry Tortugas National Park. By special arrangement with the Park Service, not only did we get a boat ride to Loggerhead Key but we got to climb the lighthouse. The poor air circulation and disintegrating 1858 brick mortar made for a hot and dusty climb five levels on the way to the top. But it was sure worth it!" —Valerie Bennett. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to spend the night in a lighthouse, you don't have to anymore; here are lighthouses you can rent out on Airbnb for future reference.

"This trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina was the first of several spring break trips our two families have taken together. We spent most of our time roaming the beautiful Cape Hatteras National Seashore.  We all climbed to the top—it is the tallest brick lighthouse in North America!" —Elizabeth Boulter

Diamond Head Lighthouse, Honolulu, Hawaii

"The hike up to the top of Diamond Head in Diamond Head State Monument is well worth the physical strength and endurance you have to have to get there. Not only are you greeted at the top with views of Waikiki Beach, but also this magnificent view of the Diamond Head Lighthouse built in 1917." —Maryann Massar. Here are the most majestic mountain towns in America.
