Destinations, activities, and timing are the three key ingredients when planinng the best-ever outdoor adventure. I will create an itinerary that maximizes your time and money, depending on your interests, ambition, and ages in your group. My suggestions will include convenient accomodations, such as in-park lodging; hikes based on your experience and fitness; and excursions on your own or with an outfitter or guide. Are you interested in visitng a few national parks, which would require flights, a rental car, and lodging? Maybe you would like to drive to a state park, which may include unique lodging options, such as a yurt? Or, would you consider an RV or a houseboat vacation?

A few of my family's favorite adventures have been:  

Sandboarding at Great Sand Dunes National Park;

Biking the South Rim of the Grand Canyon;

Chasing waterfalls at Silver Falls State Park, Oregon; 

Hiking through Antelope Canyon, Arizona; and  

Backpacking to a cabin inTettaguage State Park (photo above), Minnesota.
