When planning your resolutions for the New Year, why not pack in some resolutions that will guarantee you some adventure or at least the most beautiful landscapes you could imagine? Make next year one for the history books with these thrilling outdoor adventure destinations that we recommend only for those not faint of heart. Make a resolution to have more fun next year or every year!

Destination #1: Moab – Utah (Arches and Canyonlands National Parks)

Just like with The Mona Lisa or Starry Night, seeing pictures of Canyonlands just doesn’t do it justice. You have to see it in person! Moab, Utah is a Mecca for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers alike. You can experience some of the best camping and mountain biking trails in the world while sleeping under the stars next to some of the world’s most famous natural monuments. You can even take your Jeep or 4-wheeler for some exquisite off-roading.

Destination #2: Acadia National Park – Maine

You don’t often hear people talk about Maine and adventure in the same breath, but believe us, there is adventure to be had here! Check out Acadia National Park near the Atlantic coast of Maine, and you won’t be disappointed. You can go sea kayaking near rocky islands, or hike the absolute banger of a route called Precipice Trail which has you literally scaling a cliff (with ladders and minimal support) over whitecaps ocean waters. If you really want something fun and adventure-filled and maybe a little spooky, you can tour certain landmarks and locations featured in some of Stephen King’s many novels.

Destination #3: White Sands National Park – New Mexico

Get ready to be amazed at the simple yet astonishing beauty of the endless rolling white sands of this New Mexico adventure hotspot. The gypsum dunes provide a stunning backdrop to your hiking, biking, 4-wheeling, and camping adventures while the night sky comes alive with distant stars and galaxies (and anything else that’s up there) being more visible than just about anywhere else on earth. Overnight camping there yields some of the best stargazing in the world among the ethereal quiet that the desert brings. If you’ve ever wanted to go sledding down a giant sand dune or mountain bike across a picturesque desert landscape, then this is the place for your next adventure in the New Year and beyond.
