different side to new york that'll appeal to any thrill seeker during the sunnier months
rock climbers can take advantage of the steep cliffs then when winter rolls around ice climbing

balance between romantic and rousing number eight yosemite national park if you live in california
there's no shortage of rock climbing spots to choose from for an adventure you'll never forget
though scale the ridges of el capitan at yosemite national park with an elevation of over 7000 feet
and a granite monolith that stretches nearly 3 000 feet this rock formation more than ends its
name to really live on the edge you might even consider summoning your inner alex hanold with

mountains arguably aren't even the most alluring part of yosemite the waterfalls set the park apart
from all others yosemite falls is the tallest delivering an invigorating hike and view from

thrall seekers can quickly shift gears upon venturing into the mountains for rock climbers
the flat irons possess 5 formations that will leave you feeling mightier than a well boulder

anyone with a mutual passion for outdoor activities and animals number six juno alaska
alaska and adventure go hand in hand while parts of the last frontier can be brutal
juno captures alaska at its most breathtaking the capital city's oceanic climates contrast with the
freezing temperatures we often associate with alaska as such you can expect green
trees and clear skies while hiking mount roberts which has an elevation of more than 3 000 feet
if you are hoping to experience some of alaska's signature chilling scenery though the west glacier

keep this video as pg as possible on the strip people regularly get a rush at the casinos where
a roll of the dice can alter your destiny in both positive and negative ways vegas also has
its fair share of thrill rides from the big apple coaster to a water slide that sends you zipping
past a shark tank the high roller observation wheel is one way to see vegas but nothing

the calming atmosphere wash over you for a true hawaiian adventure maui is a gateway to limitless
possibilities the shield volcano of haleakala aka house of the sun marks the highest points its
elevation of over 10 000 feet sounds intimidating but the sunny scenery makes every step worth it
for deeper depths perhaps you'd rather go scuba diving or snorkeling maui is home to a
wide variety of marine life including humpback whales as big as the whales are you might find
even larger waves at piahe which is known for the jaws surf break number 2 yellowstone national park

explore while some areas are restricted you'll fortunately have no trouble accessing essential
landmarks like grand prismatic spring and old faithful geyser if you're a truthful seeker

washburn or take a kayak out onto yellowstone lake there's a world of adventure waiting to
be discovered by the end of your voyage you might feel like a rugged yellowstone rancher
especially if you travel on horseback number one grand canyon we're not sure what we find more
awe-inspiring about the grand canyon its size its depth or its age in any case simply staring
at this giant is a thrilling experience what some people fail to realize is how many different ways
you can experience the grand canyon you can fly over the north south and west rims via helicopter
a mule ride might not sound very exciting at first but when you're surrounded by rocks that encompass
every color of a sunset it's the most bracing sensation on earth with the colorado river running
through the grand canyon you can experience two natural landmarks while whitewater rafting few
adventures have a more rewarding destination than seeking out havasu falls the canyon's blue jewel
