Epic, vast, diverse, wild and beautiful are just a few words that could be used to describe the USA. This is a country of outstanding natural beauty with a varied and stunning terrain, which makes it an excellent choice for adventure-seeking holidaymakers. There are many amazing places to visit throughout North America when on an action-packed adventure holiday, but here are the three most exciting states to tick off your list.
Arizona/California
Where better for an adventure than the Wild West? The states of California and Arizona provided the rugged backdrop for all your favourite Westerns and they are fantastic destinations for hiking, horseback riding, camping under the stars at night and many other adventures.
See the legendary Monument Valley, get up close to the Grand Canyon, immerse yourself in breathtaking beauty at Yosemite National Park and drive through Death Valley on a Western expedition. These states also have a few of the USA’s greatest and most fun cities, including Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas.
Alaska
The largest and most sparsely populated of all the states, Alaska is found to the north-west of Canada so you can expect truly epic and untamed natural surroundings and a handful of magnificent National Parks. Enormous glaciers, sparkling Fjords, blue glassy lakes, snow-capped mountains and an abundance of rare wildlife all awaits here.
This ensures that Alaska is a superb adventure playground, with plenty of opportunities for skiing, kayaking, mountain biking, hiking, fishing and much more.
Wyoming
Head to the north-western state of Wyoming for the majestic Rocky Mountains, vast plains and two of the most famous National Parks in the world. Grand Teton is a spectacular park that contains backcountry skiing areas, Snake River and beautiful forested trails. Yellowstone National Park (the first in the world) is legendary for enormous canyons, dense forests, alpine rivers, the Old Faithful geyser and hundreds of majestic animal species. There are endless opportunities for adventure in a state that is bursting with this much nature.
Adventure tour organisers, like Grand American Adventures, can organise thrilling tours throughout these three magnificent parts of the USA. This will be packed full of fun activities and opportunities to explore some of the most beautiful areas in the entire world. This will be a life changing and unforgettable experience for adventurous types and nature lovers.
The USA is an incredibly beautiful, diverse and stunning country. There are many wonderful states to head to for action-packed adventures, but these are three of the most exciting places to visit.
