Adventure travelers circle the globe on a quest for the ultimate adrenaline rush, killer workouts with the best views and those trademark too-cool-to-be-true selfies. Are you ready for your next date with the great outdoors? Before you hit the trail, the mountain or the water, slow down long enough to determine exactly what kind of outdoor adventure fits your passion—and energy level.
Would you rather hike through a forest or a desert? Are you packing a sweatshirt or a swimsuit? Do you want to disappear into the wild for a week or be back in time for your dinner reservations? There's something for every kind of outdoor adventurer.
Get in the Water
Canoes, kayaks, paddleboards and white-water rafts all behave differently in the water and can give you whatever experience you desire, from lazy drifting to heart-pounding adventure.
Hit the trail
Nothing beats a good hike, whether it’s on a mountain, desert, salt marsh or forest trail.
