With the country just starting to open up again, the time to take that next great vacation is now. Here are a few great ideas to get the ball rolling on a wild adventure.
How About Mountain Climbing?
Mountain climbing, or mountaineering, is a fantastic way to get some fresh air, sunshine, and exercise all at the same time. Mountaineering has been around for thousands of years and was initially a reference to religious practices. Mountain climbing started in the Alps and has now spread throughout the world. Today, the sport is enjoyed on mountains, rock cliffs, and glaciers.
Horseback Riding
A fantastic afternoon spent horseback riding might be the perfect mix of sun and fun. From absolute beginners who have never even seen a real horse to seasoned pros, today’s horseback riding stables have something for everyone. A relaxing trail ride with these beautiful, gentle creatures will create memories to last a lifetime.
Mountain Biking
Mountain biking has come a long way. This adrenaline-packed sport will have bikers barreling down steep terrain over rocks, drops, and other obstacles at break-neck speeds. Just be sure to get the proper bike and equipment to handle the rough terrain. The sport of mountain biking originated on the West Coast in the mid-1970s, and the activity is now enjoyed worldwide.

Water Sports
The sport of whitewater rafting has been around since the early 1800s and was born out of the necessity to pass through rough rivers and bodies of water. Whitewater rafting became an actual adventure sport back in the early 1950s. The need to cross the Snake River in Wyoming led to the sport as it exists today according to realtimecampaign.com.
Unfortunately, in the early days, the lack of training and proper safety equipment often led to accidents. Today, however, with the invention of appropriate equipment and the Scale of River Difficulty system, whitewater rafting is considered a safe activity enjoyed by thousands of people every year.
Kayaking and canoeing are two very similar water sports. The main difference between the two is the position of the rider and the paddles used to steer the craft. While riding in a canoe, the rider is seated on a bench, and the canoe is navigated using a single-sided paddle. The rider sits much lower in a kayak and uses a double-sided paddle for steering. For novice users, a kayak is said to be a bit easier to control. American Whitewater Expedition is a great resource for more information.
Spend Some Time Enjoying the Stars
At the end of an action-packed day, nothing could be better than stargazing. Be sure to choose a spot that’s free from light pollution to provide an unobstructed view of the moon and stars. While a telescope can be used for this activity, it certainly isn’t necessary. Studying the movement of the moon and constellations can be a fun activity for the whole family.
All of these adventures should allow for a safe appreciation of the beautiful outdoors. Let’s get out there and have some fun!
