[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]

Why did you not like Iceland? What activities did you do while there? Was it a "point and shoot vacation" where you drive to a site see a view snap a picture move to next?

I think most people who enjoy nature vacations enjoy the scenery, but also like physically active vacations. I love national park vacations because we get out and hike to see incredible views you can't see from the side of the road. I like the physical challenge of hiking and moving. I love ski vacation because I am physically moving and working on a skill.
