If you're looking for outdoor adventures, the US has practically anything you could ask for. Hiking and fishing are immensely popular, but there's so much more to do if you wish. From east to west you can find extreme adventures as well as low-key endeavors. Mother Nature is completely equipped to cater to your sense of adventure. To get started on your adventure all you need is to start a little research around the Internet and outdoor magazines. National parks are always quite popular, especially during the summer months. Yellowstone and the Great Smoky Mountains, for example, are two of the most visited national parks. For experienced campers or adventurers who want a particularly special trip, there are plenty of unique camping options. Throughout the year you can explore the Forty Mile Canyon in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Utah. The bright canyon walls and lush cotton-wood trees provide a beautiful backdrop for an engaging hike. When you need a little cooling down, you can jump into the pool beneath the 12-foot waterfall or try out some of the other glistening pools. If you're looking for a spectacular summit view, consider the San Gorgonio Mountain in California. On this popular Southern California trail you can hike up 11,000 feet over the sprawling multi-ecozone perch. At such great heights you'll love the view of the land below and sky above. Though they may be smaller, there are many mountain and hilltop peaks in the eastern US that present unrivaled views. For a bit of unconventional camping, there are some spots that are catered to you. If you're up for a little skinny-dipping at dusk consider the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in Michigan. The freshwater of Lake Superior creates a soothing environment to play around and enjoy the beauty around you. Escaping from the city is a great chance to watch the skies, and you can do some serious stargazing at Mount Wrightson Wilderness, Arizona. The sky looks rich and amazing from this high perch. For the best rest and relaxation mixed into your adventure, consider the many islands and trails of Hawaii. Whether you want to see the view from the highest peak or you want to find fun trails that also lead to the best eateries, your outdoor adventure is waiting for you. There's no better way to appreciate nature than to go outside and experience. Everywhere you look there's plenty of nature's bounty to experience and enjoy.
