subject: Get Out And Experience The Joy Of Camping [print this page] Camping is one of the great pastimes, and the United States is abundant with parks and campsites to entertain and amaze you. Stay overnight or just spend a few hours. It doesn't matter because there's a lot to do to fill your time. Swimming in hot springs and cool lakes is just one of the ways you can spend your time. Mother Nature is completely equipped to cater to your sense of adventure.
Backpacking and adventure magazines are a great source for ideas and reviews of common camping spots. For tried and true camping trips you can always depend on the the many US national parks. The Grand Canyon and Yosemite national parks are just two of the breathtaking opportunities. Beyond the big-name parks you'll find that there are lots of one-of-a-kind opportunities waiting. If you want to see another amazing canyon besides the Grand, try the Forty Mile Canyon in Utah. You can traverse the deep slopes of this magnificent canyon and weave your way through the sturdy cotton-wood trees. When youre ready to relax you can splash through the 12-foot waterfall and its pool or several other shining watering holes.
At the San Gorgonio Mountain in California you can experience an awesome panoramic view from the summit. The mountaintop over 11,000 feet up lets you see a gorgeous sprawling view of Southern California. 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 into skinny-dipping, you want to find the best spot. That may be the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in Michigan. In the cool, clear freshwater of Lake Superior you can admire the pink and orange sky of sunset surrounded by the pines and hardwoods. You can experience amazing views of the stars from Mount Wrightson Wilderness, Arizona. Astronomers revere the view from an observatory nearby, and you'll experience the awe-inspiring views as well. If you want to relax on the beach following your hikes, Hawaii is a wonderful place to vacation and camp.
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. As long as you have an idea, you won't lack for opportunity as you get out and experience Mother Nature.
