[quote=Anonymous]Here’s what you’re missing when you forgo an active/adventurous trip to a national park or similar: natural beauty and amazing views that  you don’t have to share with the hoards of tourists who don’t want to be more than 50 feet from their car. You’re also missing amazing fun adventure activities like rappelling down a canyon, ziplining through a rainforest, whitewater rafting, climbing a frozen waterfall, and kayaking through sea caves. You won’t be able to do that when you’re old. If that doesn’t sound appealing to you now, then I guess you’re not missing anything. But we’ve done all of the above with our kids, and they have loved these trips way more than city trips, which they can do any time for the rest of their lives. I don’t enjoy camping (though my kids do). But we all love national parks, nature, and adventure, so we stay in park lodge and cabins and do a ton of hiking and adventure activities for most of our vacations. I did a lot of city travel as a young adult before kids, but I prefer the active outdoorsy vacations with my kids bc that’s what they prefer. [/quote]
