ADVENTURE AWAITS,
EVEN CLOSE TO HOME
It’s not uncommon for individuals to think that the ultimate
vacation adventure requires venturing far and wide. But
there are plenty of exciting ways to get your thrills even if
you don’t stray too far from home. Here is how to plan a summer
adventure right in your own neighborhood.
• Visit an amusement or theme park. Spending a day or two
at a theme park or amusement park can expose travelers to
different rides, sights, attractions, food, and people. Six Flags
Entertainment Corporation operates 27 parks across the United
States, Mexico and Canada. Water parks, summer carnivals
and local theme parks also can make for fun excursions.
• Scale great heights. Figure out what is the highest peak
where you live and then hike to the top of that lookout. Many
of the tallest peaks in North America are along the border between
the state of Alaska and Canada, but there are plenty of
lofty elevations elsewhere on the continent.
• Try a new food. Experience a new culture by visiting a
restaurant that serves food from a country that you’ve never
visited. You can score even more brownie points if you opt for
an ingredient that is new to you as well.
• Go rafting or tubing. The power of moving water is very
impressive. Rafting and tubing enables people to get swept
away by rapids and see the landscape as it goes rushing by.
Choose a pace that suits you and build up rapid size and speed
as you gain more experience.
• Try a new water sport. Stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking
can be entertaining ways to enjoy the water. These are not
only great adventurous activities, they’re also solid workouts
for many parts of the body.
• Go fi shing. Fishing may seem like a slow-paced sport, but
your adrenaline soon will be pumping when a fi sh bites and
you’re reeling in a monster catch. Some of the best times to
fi sh are at dawn and dusk when fi sh are more likely to hit.
• Swim in the ocean. Head to the ocean and dive through the
waves. The summer months are the perfect times to take a dip
as the ocean water becomes a more comfortable swimming
temperature. Always swim in locations where lifeguards are
present, and be sure to check red fl ag warnings for rip currents
or rough surf. Keep an eye out for marine life as well.
• Catch a baseball game. Purchase tickets to a game at a stadium
near you and cheer on the team with thousands of other
fans. In addition to watching Major League Baseball, there are
many minor league teams with impressive stadiums. Tickets
for minor league games may be easier to come by and softer
on the wallet.|
