There is no better time than now to promote wellness by encouraging outdoor travel. The woods, nature, and the great outdoors may be just what the doctor ordered!
While traveling to unfamiliar places is exciting and adventurous, many people are equally satisfied with staying close to home. The good news is that there are many magnificent places nearby!
Here are five excellent places that will fulfill your need for adventure!
Page, Arizona
Although this town is tiny, it packs a powerful punch for surreal scenery and endless adventure. What once began as a temporary camp built for the workers constructing the Glen Canyon Dam, Page City is a jumping-off point for iconic sites like Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and Lake Powell. This region is also home to the indigenous Navajo People. Invited travelers learn about the history, culture, and relationship the proud Navajo have with the surrounding nature.
Maine, USA
Affectionately dubbed 'vacationland,' Maine is a haven for those seeking a blend of outdoor adventure, heritage, and sumptuous seafood cuisine. From the beautiful and untamed shoreline to the misty mountains of the Appalachians, adventure-seekers can enjoy over 52,000 miles of national parks, lakes, historic waterways, and over 3000 small islands.
Snohomish County, Washington State
If emerald green lakes, crisp pine-filled air, and cozy coffee culture are what you're seeking, the Pacific Northwest is calling your name! Snohomish County is Washington State's urban outdoor cultural capital. Suppose you're an outdoor enthusiast who likes to combine a city break with outdoor adventure. In that case, pristine natural attractions like the Stillaguamish—Sauk River Valleys, the stunning Gothic Basin, and Granite Falls are just a short drive away. Snohomish County needs to be your next socially distanced vacation destination with more than 2000 square miles to hike, kayak, road trip, sail, and stroll.
Kauai, Hawaii
Hawaii is breathtaking, but the "Garden Island" is almost beyond description. The most laid-back Hawaiian island represents the essence of Aloha. Kauai offers all of that for travelers wanting to strike a balance between barefoot strolls along powder-soft shorelines and hair-raising helicopter rides over lush carpeted valleys. While much of Hawaii draws large, boisterous crowds, Kauai is quieter, less trodden, and largely untouched, with much of the island only accessible by air or sea. Natural attractions include the Wailua River, Waimea Canyon, and Poipu Beach. You won't want to miss them!
Indian Islands, Alaska
The hardest part of planning an action-packed vacation to Alaska is choosing where to start first. Alaska is so massive that you can fit Texas, California, and Montana within its state borders. And while every square inch of Alaska is beautiful, the Ionian Islands are one of the most biologically diverse places. Nestled up against the world's tallest coastal mountains, where currents collide with nutrient-dense coastlines, you'll find everything from Humpback whales, orcas, steller sea lions, Grizzlies, and soaring bald eagles. A ferociously protected biosphere full of wide-open spaces, and endless wilderness, the Ionian Islands are a bucket list destination.
You don't have to look further than your backyard or even the next state over to experience a dreamy, socially distanced vacation in the great outdoors. Valleys, the stunning Gothic Basin, and Granite Falls are just a short drive away. Snohomish County needs to be your next socially distanced vacation destination with more than 2000 square miles to hike, kayak, road trip, sail, and stroll.
