Some travelers spend their vacation days traveling overseas, while other plan out an extreme adventure trip right here in the states. Not only are there an endless amount of destinations to see in America, but there are also so many different ways to see them. Some of us enjoy driving around and capturing an experience on our cell phone cameras, while others want to be right in on the action and take an adventure trip. If you fall into the latter category, be sure to check out these ideas for an adventure travel trip.
