[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to broaden my family's vacations/experience by doing something other than tropical islands and major cities.

DW and I are considering a national park vacation but we don't really LOVE the outdoors. We've been camping a couple of times and it's been fine but not incredible.

Are we just not an outdoors family or will the right experience change our perspective. What's a good destination that will wow us or get us hooked?

For reference,  we've hiked the Shenandoah and Smoky Mountains.  DW and I have visited Iceland.  We've enjoyed,  but not life changing and I don't want to commit resources to "fine".[/quote]

Colorado summer. Try a full array of (potentially) fun activities. Rafting, climbing, biking, hiking, etc.

Adventure, accomplishment, challenge, and exploration. But do it in comfort. Have the right gear, the right knowledge (or guide), and most importantly don’t camp!

I’ve spent 200+ nights backcountry camping and don’t view it as an inherently enjoyable activity—it’s just something that’s necessary to access certain outdoor experiences.

So rent a nice house, enjoy your outdoor stuff, stop at a brewery in a nice mountain town, then report to the hot tub to relive the day’s adventures and plan tomorrow’s.[/quote]

Unless we get a massive amount of snow between now and May I wouldn't recommend Colorado this summer. Our snowpack is at the lowest level ever and  the state will be a tinderbox. Probably true for the rest of the western US as well. [/quote]
