Best Adventure Vacations in US: Options

The definition of adventure varies for all of us. For some, it’s nearing the supreme power through meditation, and for some, it’s the experience of the adrenaline rush. Whatever maybe our expectations from these adventure vacation ideas, these 5 destinations will surely get you close to them. Let’s check out what these best adventure vacations in US have in store for us!

Grand Canyon, Arizona
River rafting through the Grand Canyon can be one of the best adventure vacations for you this year. You must have already heard stories of people going rafting on the Colorado river, which flows through the Grand Canyon. The gigantic beauty of the Canyon makes this adventure not only adventurous but a memory you’re bound to cherish your whole life. While you’re at the Canyon, you can also check out other adventure sports, such as rafting and paragliding, which are again common at the Grand Canyon. While you’re there, make the most out of it!

Scuba Diving, Hawaii
This is my personal favorite when it comes to the best adventure vacations in US, and the entire world too. Scuba diving can be an experience in its own, and at the Hawaiian islands, it just gets better! Though there are more than a hundred islands in Hawaii, the ones visited most for scuba diving are Kauai, Oahu, Ni’ihau, Lanai, Maui, Molokai, Hawaii (the island) and Kahoolawe. Avoid the islands of Ni’ihau, Molokai and Lanai if you’re a beginner. The marine life at Hawaii is one of the most beautiful in the entire world. Scuba diving is done extensively at these islands, so you don’t have to worry about finding company. You can also visit Mt. Kilauea, globally the most active volcano.

Road Trip on the Pan American
Traveling through 14 countries and 2 continents does seem an adventure to live for, doesn’t it? If this idea interests you, you might want to make a road trip across the Pan American Highway, that starts in Alaska and ends in the southern parts of the South American continent. It isn’t a single highway as such, but a network of roads that measures approximately 30,000 miles in totality. It is known as the longest motorable road, globally. This can be one of the best adventure vacations in US, for a group or just for a couple too.

Death Valley National Park, California
Considered as one of the best family adventure vacations, the Death Valley National Park has much more to offer than its name suggests. The Ubehebe Crater which is 800m deep, and the Zabriskie Point, are two famous places to visit inside the park. Dante’s View and Badwater are other two such places, the former being 5475 feet above sea level, and the latter being 282 feet below sea level. Trained hikers can hike on the Telescope Peak which stands 11,000 feet tall. A visit to the dry lake called Racetrack Playa might even show you the Milky Way at night. The children would love to see that, won’t they!

Underwater Volcanoes, Caribbean
No no, I’m not asking you to actually visit an active underwater volcano. There are volcanic fissures in the Caribbean that you can safely visit and see some amazing forms of nature. In Champagne and Dominica, you can witness small bubbles that are released from the sea bed due to these volcanic fissures. Most of the Caribbean cruises will take you to a visit here. You might even be lucky enough to witness these through a submarine ride. A combination of scuba diving and visiting these volcanic fissures would work just great.

I hope these options for best adventure vacations in US did justice to your adventure meter. For those who are tired with day-to-day problems and the various issues life offers, try going for a meditation workshop and learn a few tricks to calm that soul down. After all, there is adventure in doing something that until now you thought you could never do. These are also great options for adventure vacations for couples who are looking for something more than just romance. Pack your bags and hit the road. A lot of excitement, thrill, and of course some truckload of adventure, is awaiting you. Have Fun!
