When it comes to climate and terrain, the United States is one of the most diverse countries in the world. And there’s a pretty long list of outdoor activities that you can enjoy because of it.
Here are just some of the best outdoor activities in the USA:
**Winter activities *Snowmobiling *Skiing *Ice skating *Ice fishing *Sledding *Snowshoeing
**Spring and summer activities *Go to the beach *Rock climbing *Fishing *Cycling *Horseback riding *Surfing *Hiking
There are also many incredible outdoor attractions that you can visit throughout the country, including:
*Grand Canyon *Hoover Dam *Yellowstone National Park *Mount Rushmore *Central Park *The Hollywood Sign *Carlsbad Caverns
The US has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to outdoor destinations and activities. No matter where you are there’s probably a great activity within driving distance.
Before you head out on an outdoor adventure, make sure that you’ve got a cell phone with you in case you encounter car trouble along the way. You might also want to add
roadside assistance
coverage to your
car insurance
policy. This type of coverage comes in handy when you’re stranded on the side of the road, paying for towtrucks, locksmiths, tire changes, and other roadside services.
