Outdoor Adventure Lovers
Do you dream of weekends outside? Get a little itchy being cooped up indoors for too long? Dream of open spaces and mountains to climb or rivers to paddle? If you’re looking for thrills but want them to be all-natural, these spring break destinations are for you!
Grand Canyon National Park
Whether you’re bringing the family or you want a more intense adventure on your own, Grand Canyon National Park won’t disappoint. Kids and adults who need less strenuous activity can walk along the Rim Trail at the top of the canyon and stop at various outlooks to admire the scenery. There’s also the option to backpack down to the bottom of the canyon, do some exploring, and then make the trek back out of the canyon. There is a place to rent bicycles in Grand Canyon Village for a different kind of outdoor adventure.
Zion National Park
Zion National Park offers plenty of outdoor adventure, from hiking to climbing to swimming or tubing. The Narrows hike involves wading through the river at the bottom of the canyon, and there are plenty of hikes for all levels. Outdoor enthusiasts can also go mountain biking or paddleboarding in the area.
Big Bend National Park
Big Bend National Park is named after a bend in the Rio Grande River where the park is situated. There are water adventures like kayaking and paddleboarding. But the park also includes mountains, canyons, deserts, and hot springs, so outdoor lovers can hike, climb, bicycle, and more. But be sure not to wear yourself out too much because at night, the sky has the least amount of light pollution of any national park in the continental U.S. You’ll want to spend plenty of time stargazing.
Moab
Moab is a popular destination for mountain bikers, who come from across the country to ride the rocky terrain. The high desert also has hiking, rock climbing, 4-wheel driving, and horseback riding. The nearby Colorado River provides opportunities for whitewater rafting and other water sports. The town of Moab has several outdoor outfitters and adventure centers that can help you plan your trip.
Arches National Park
Arches is near Moab, and you could easily hit both of these destinations in the same trip. You could also set up camp at Moab and drive back and forth to Arches. Like Moab, Arches offers plenty of spots for hiking, mountain biking, climbing, horseback riding, and other outdoor adventures.
Thrill Seekers
If you love fast cars and fast rides, these destinations are for you!
Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort
Did you know you can camp right at Disney World? Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort offers free transportation around the property, as well as the other amenities that guests at Disney properties enjoy. Those perks include MagicBands, advance FastPass reservations, and free parking. Fort Wilderness also has a group campfire each night with s’mores, live entertainment, and appearances by Chip and Dale. There are nightly movies, pony and horseback rides, archery lessons, and more. And, of course, you can spend the day on the thrilling rides at the Disney World parks!
Sebring, Florida
The Sebring Raceway makes this a popular destination among spring breakers…and Florida’s gorgeous spring weather doesn’t hurt, either! Take in a thrilling race at the track, and plan on an extra day or two so you can drive to a beach and enjoy the sun. There are also state parks and other closer areas if you want to spend some time outdoors!
Bristol, Tennessee
The Bristol Motor Speedway is another great option for watching an exciting race over spring break! Tennessee’s beautiful weather at that time of year means you can also head out to fish or boat on South Holston Lake or visit the fascinating Bristol Caverns to see the stalactites and stalagmites and other impressive cave formations.
Photographers
If you plan shots and search for the perfect lighting, we’ve got you covered! Lighting and framing are important, but these breathtaking spring break destinations do some of the heavy lifting for you.
Grand Canyon National Park
The ever-changing colors of the canyon as the light shifts and changes mean that no two shots of the Grand Canyon are quite the same. You could even try taking the same photo in the same spot throughout the day and you’ll find that your photos are as different as, well, night and day.
Zion National Park
Zion’s majestic rock formations, with the river at the bottom and the ever-changing light playing on the rocks, means you’ll find no shortage of places to take pictures at this park.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
The fog that gives Great Smoky Mountains National Park its name can also lead to some ethereal, haunting shots of the landscape. The park has covered bridges and other historic buildings that are fun to shoot, either on their own or with the people you love posed nearby. The park also has spring wildflowers, forests, trees, and mountains that make beautiful subjects of photographs.
Arches National Park
Arches may be one of the most well-photographed areas of the country. The striking red rocks and stark desert provide a wonderful spot to play with light, color, and composition, and it’s almost impossible to take a bad picture.
Yellowstone National Park, WY
Yellowstone National Park has unique geysers, hot springs, and other thermal features. It’s also near the Rocky Mountains and is home to bison and other exciting wildlife. All of this means that you won’t lack for subject matter while you’re taking pictures. Whether you’re getting a grazing bison or a panoramic mountain photo, you can’t go wrong!
Family Fun Lovers
If you’re looking for spring break destinations for the whole family, these places are wonderful options. You’ll find activities for all ages and abilities and you’ll make great memories together as a family.
Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort
Disney makes family fun their bread and butter, so of course, this resort is a great place to plan a family-centered spring break! Whether you spend the day at the pool, practicing archery, or riding the many rides at Disney World, time spent with family and friends here is a given.
Yellowstone National Park
The exciting animals, fanciful geysers and thermal features, and majestic mountains mean this is a spot the entire family will enjoy! There are walks and shorter hikes that smaller kids can do with their parents as well – just make sure to keep them close by since you’re in bear country!
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
The bridges and historic buildings are a great opportunity to teach kids about the history of the area. The Mountain Farm Museum and Mingus Mill are fun spots to explore with children as well. Finally, there is a lot to see from your van or car, so if the kids need some time to nap, you can take a scenic drive and still enjoy the park.
Hopefully, this guide has given you some ideas for spring break destinations this year. Regardless of where you travel, renting an RV from RVshare is a great way to experience all of these places!
