Camping is extremely alluring and it's no wonder because America has plenty of parks and recreation areas to seek adventure. Spotting wildlife and melting s'mores over a campfire are only two of the great things you can do. At sites around the country you can stargaze, ride bikes and so much more. The Great Outdoors offers endless possibilities. To get started on your adventure all you need is to start a little research around the Internet and outdoor magazines. National parks around the country are always popular camping vacation areas. The Grand Canyon and Yosemite national parks are just two of the breathtaking opportunities. You also have plenty of options when you're ready to travel a little further off the beaten path. If you want to see another amazing canyon besides the Grand, try the Forty Mile Canyon in Utah. Narrow in some places and broad in others, the hike through the canyon is full of challenge and beauty. The canyon's waterfall and pool ensure you won't burn out on your hike. One of the biggest attractions to mountain hiking is the view from the top, and the San Gorgonio Mountain in California offers one of the best. Over 11,000 feet above it all you can see multiple ecozones. Away from the buildings of the city, you'll see the sky in a brand new way. Though they may be smaller, there are many mountain and hilltop peaks in the eastern US that present unrivaled views. There are also many suitable camping areas for trekkers with specialized interests. Two great spots for a little nude bathing are Conundrum Hot Springs, Colorado, and Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, Michigan. One of the best attractions there is the spectacular view that becomes visible as the lights start fading at dusk. If stargazing is your thing, Mount Wrightson Wilderness, Arizona, is a one-of-a-kind spot. The bare summit lets you experience the Milky Way and beyond without any distractions. For the best rest and relaxation mixed into your adventure, consider the many islands and trails of Hawaii. From sunbathing and swimming to eating and drinking, campsites offer some of the best entertainment around. With friends or family or even a few strangers, you'll have plenty of fun whatever you choose to do. Everywhere you look there's plenty of nature's bounty to experience and enjoy.
