4. Grand Canyon
Another excellent option for a memorable outdoor adventure is exploring the wonders of the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Over 270 miles long and 18 miles wide, chock full of extraordinary features is highlighted by the roaring Colorado River carving through. The canyon became a Forest Reserve in 1893 and was later upgraded to National Park status in 1919. Visitors are encouraged to hit the South Rim open all year to any tourist looking to hike, camp and much more.

5. Maui, Hawaii
Out of all of these adventure destinations, Maui is on par with them all. The topography, from the island’s volcanic past, in many eyes is the epitome of beauty. Travelers looking for a serene location should trek to Violet Lake. Capping a beautiful hike, a real experience in Hawaii, with a dip in a pristine lake seems as close to perfection as you can get. The lush forestation that lines each trail grandiosely encapsulates hikers walking through.
