The idea of \u201cextreme vacations\u201d may not be for everyone, but if you\u2019re ready to take the plunge and walk on the wild side during your next vacation, one of the best places to do so is in the USA. From white-water rafting to camping in expansive national parks and everything in between, we\u2019ve put together a collection of some of the most extreme vacations in the US!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the best extreme vacation for you<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExtreme\u201d means something different to everybody, so the first question you\u2019ll need to answer is what does it mean to you? For some, it might mean roughing it in the great outdoors, putting aside creature comforts like indoor plumbing and wi-fi. For others, it means getting your heart pounding through physically exerting days and testing their own limits. Before you book an extreme vacation of your own, there are a few things to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Time of year. <\/strong>If you\u2019re the type of adventurer looking to go cross-country-skiing and camping, you\u2019re probably not going to want to leave in July. On the other hand, travellers looking to hike or trek should consider the soaring temperatures that hit the United States in the summer months, and prepare accordingly! Figure out when your perfect adventure fits into your schedule, and go from there.<\/li>
  2. Interests. <\/strong>It\u2019s always great to stretch yourself and try new things, but you should also make sure you have some interest in what you\u2019ll be doing, as well as the ability to do it. For example, before booking a multi-day hiking tour, try to get out for a couple of practise hikes back home first. It\u2019ll let you know if you enjoy it, and get you prepared for the bigger trip!<\/li>
  3. Location. <\/strong>Is there a state you\u2019ve always wanted to visit? Maybe you dream of surfing off the coast of California, or snowboarding in Colorado is on top of your bucket list? Carefully consider what part of the United States you want to visit: the country is larger and more diverse than you may have thought! <\/li>
  4. Ability level. <\/strong>It\u2019s worth repeating: before you head out on an extreme vacation, make sure you\u2019ll be able to complete it safely and while having fun! If your dream trip seems like too much of a stretch right now, spend some time mentally and physically preparing before you book it, and always have an emergency plan in case the worst happens.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n
