Summer Activities In The Mountains

There are many summer activities that can be done in the mountains

. Often people only think of vacationing or visiting mountains in the wintertime, but there may be even more activities in the summer time. Due to the geographical location of mountains, often they have beautiful waterfalls, lakes, or rivers which are prime activities to do during the hot summer months. Other activities can include, but are not limited to:

1. Horseback Riding

2. Camping

3. Hiking

4. Bike Riding

5. Bird Watching

6. Fishing

7. Golfing

8. Hunting

9. Boating

10. Kayaking

11. Picnic

12. Swimming

13. Night walks

14. Rafting

15. Shopping

16. Movie Theaters

17. Visitor's Center

18. Museum

As you can see from the list above there are countless activities that you can do in the mountains during the summer. Because of the warm weather the most common activities usually include water; whether that be rafting, boating, swimming, or hiking to a waterfall. But spending an evening in the mountains can give you the perfect weather for a night walk, star gazing, or even a bike ride or hike. The mountains are meant to be enjoyed during all the seasons, not just in the winter, fall, or spring.

There are certain activities such as hunting, fishing, or bird watching that is harder to do if you are not spending time in the mountains. These activities require the rural atmosphere and the more natural outdoors. These activities cannot be enjoyed during the winter as most of the animals would be hibernating, the lakes would be frozen, and most of the birds will have migrated.

Many National Parks have restrictions on what activities can be done in the mountains, but even National Parks often have movie theaters, shopping, visitor's centers, and museums. These are normally air conditioned which provides a nice escape on days that it really is too hot to do anything.

There are many ways to enjoy the mountains in the summertime:

1. Camping (Tent or RV)

2. Hotel (or Motel or Lodge)

3. Bed and Breakfast

4. Driving in to spend one day

5. Live in the mountains

6. Renting out a summer home

There are unlimited activities to do in the mountains in the summer time and every mountain offers different activities. You may be surprised to find that you prefer traveling to the mountains in the summer over any other time of the year.
