Adventure trips include anything active, such as hiking, skiing or bicycling. One popular adventure trip is the Grand Canyon. You may either venture out on your own or take a tour package that is available through several tour companies. View the Canyon as you fly over its rims via helicopter. Take a four -and-a-half-hour floating trip to see sights such as the Petroglyph Panel.
Camping is the ultimate getaway because you can leave all your problems at home to enjoy the peaceful environment of the wilderness. Yosemite National Park is well known for its beauty and camping facilities. You can either camp there, or you can drive out there and spend the day. The best time to go is between April and June, when the snow melts on Tioga Pass and before the summer hits.
DisneyLand or Disney World are world-renowned theme parks that have provided billions of people with mini vacation getaways. Six Flags is another popular theme park chain. If neither exists in your neighborhood, you might tray a lesser-known theme park in a neighboring city.
San Antonio's Kiddie Park is a prime example. Established in 1925, the park is the oldest in the United States.
The Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C., has many things to offer tourists and residents. The Art History Museum and the Space Museum are two examples. Wear comfortable walking shoes when visiting the area because it is huge. Other must-see attractions are the presidential memorials and the Vietnam War Memorial.
Do you have any famous vacation spots in your area? If so, research for the best times to visit. Good deals often occur during off-season times.
You do not always have to leave town to have a weekend getaway. Chances are, you are unaware of half of the attractions that your city is known for in other parts of the state or country. Check your local paper or perform an online search for any festivals, events, concerts or shopping extravaganzas.
Spa retreats offer the ultimate way to relax and pamper your body. Resort spas offer activities alongside their treatments, while destination spa getaways can last several days, and you can vacation with a group of people. Alternately, day spas do not require you to spend the night. Instead, you get to enjoy a day of facials, mud wraps and sea salt scrubs.
