Lake Michigan / Northeast Illinois · Illinois

Illinois Beach is one of the rare stretches of natural Lake Michigan shoreline in Illinois, where dunes, grasses, sand, and big-water horizons create a wonderfully open landscape. Waves change the character of the beach from day to day, and even a simple shoreline walk can feel like a proper coastal escape.

Crystal River / Nature Coast · Florida

A paved route follows the edge of an unfinished canal toward the Gulf, with surprising rises and broad views over coastal forest and salt marsh. The Withlacoochee Bay Trail is not the completely flat ride its map might suggest; the small climbs make the panorama at the western end feel earned.

West Michigan / Muskegon State Park · Michigan

A luge run through a Michigan winter forest offers a very different kind of outdoor adrenaline. The Muskegon winter sports complex lets visitors experience a purpose-built sliding track, with snow-covered pines and cold air turning every run into a vivid memory.

Lower Gila River · Arizona

Walk into Arizona highway history on a steel truss that carried travelers across the Gila nearly a century ago.

Northern Minnesota / International Falls · Minnesota

A national park made of water is best appreciated from the water. Guided boat trips on Rainy Lake reveal pine-covered islands, rocky shorelines and the vast interconnected lake system that gave voyageurs their historic travel routes.

Oak Creek Canyon / Sedona · Arizona

Forget the waterpark: Oak Creek carved its own slick-rock slide through red sandstone and framed it with canyon walls.

Keweenaw Peninsula / Copper Harbor · Michigan

The Isle Royale Queen IV crosses a vast reach of Lake Superior toward one of the country’s most remote national parks. Leaving the Keweenaw shoreline behind, passengers watch the open lake stretch to the horizon before the island’s forested ridges appear.

Eastern Connecticut / Mansfield · Connecticut

Launch straight into a 500-acre eastern Connecticut reservoir for a four-mile flatwater exploration. Launch directly into Mansfield Hollow Lake and paddle a broad inland reservoir known for quiet coves, bird habitat and open water.

Terry Badlands / Eastern Montana · Montana

Eastern Montana’s prairie suddenly fractures at the Terry Badlands. Banded slopes, small spires and deeply cut gullies turn the horizon into a miniature maze of color and texture, best appreciated from a safe position above the formations.

Bishop / Eastern Sierra · California

At the foot of the Sierra Nevada, enormous golden granite boulders sit in a wide desert basin like a collection of dropped monuments. The Buttermilks are world-famous for bouldering, but their setting beneath the snow-capped peaks is just as unforgettable.

Southern Coalfields / Logan County · West Virginia

West Virginia’s southern coalfields have become a destination for off-road riders, with Hatfield-McCoy trails threading steep forest hills and historic mining communities. The landscape shifts between narrow wooded routes, rugged grades, and big mountain views.

Pennsylvania Wilds / Benezette · Pennsylvania

Watch for free-ranging elk from Pennsylvania's premier dedicated elk-viewing area above Benezette. Stand in Pennsylvania elk country at the state's premier dedicated viewing area and watch for free-ranging elk moving through managed habitat.

Boulder City / Hoover Dam · Nevada

Scramble through seven dryfalls to wild hot springs near the Colorado River—and then earn every foot back uphill.

Pocatello / Blackrock Canyon · Idaho

Take a short night walk from Blackrock's developed parking and spend real time under the canyon sky. Do not make your phone responsible for navigation.

Washoe Valley · Nevada

Play Nevada State Parks' new 18-hole desert disc golf course with Washoe Lake, mountains and the occasional feral horse around you.

Southeast Minnesota / Preston · Minnesota

Below the hills of southeastern Minnesota lies a maze of limestone passages, clear pools and mineral formations shaped by flowing groundwater. Mystery Cave offers a dramatic look at the hidden karst landscape of the Driftless Area.

Duluth / Spirit Mountain · Minnesota

Above Duluth, Spirit Mountain turns a wooded ski hillside into an exhilarating warm-weather playground. A gravity-driven alpine coaster offers twists and descents against a backdrop of forest and the St.

Minnesota River Valley / Henderson · Minnesota

High above the wooded Minnesota River Valley, Kerfoot’s aerial route strings together a series of ziplines that trade ground-level scenery for an expansive canopy perspective. The course offers a different way to experience the river-bluff landscape.

Southwest Michigan / Saugatuck · Michigan

A dune buggy ride near Saugatuck trades hiking boots for a guided trip across rolling sand country. The landscape alternates between wooded ridges, sandy slopes, and glimpses of the Lake Michigan dune ecosystem.

Duluth / Lake Superior Shore · Minnesota

Lake Superior’s immense blue horizon and Duluth’s dramatic harbor look completely different from above. A scenic flight can reveal the sweeping shoreline, working port, lift bridge and wooded ridges in one unforgettable panorama.

Potomac Highlands / Monongahela National Forest · West Virginia

Dolly Sods feels unlike almost anywhere else in West Virginia: wind-shaped spruce, open heath barrens, rocky uplands, and distant blue ridges give the plateau a northern, almost alpine character.

Lower Gila River · Arizona

Explore an isolated basalt ridge where generations of travelers left an extraordinary archaeological record above the Gila River.

Northeast Minnesota / Northwoods · Minnesota

A team of eager sled dogs transforms a snowy Northwoods trail into a moving wilderness experience. The rhythmic sound of paws and runners creates a winter journey that feels far removed from highways and towns.

West Michigan / Silver Lake · Michigan

Climb aboard a guided dune vehicle for a rolling tour of the great sand hills beside Silver Lake. Steep slopes, broad sandy basins, and glimpses of Lake Michigan make the landscape feel much bigger than the surrounding coastal towns.
