There's nothing like traveling with your family while making memories and having the time of your life. Unfortunately, though, not all vacation spots cater to every type of family or provide all kinds of vacation activities. Some people opt for relaxing vacations, so they head to a soothing location with beaches, spas, and saunas. Some, on the other hand, prefer indulging in loads of thrilling activities while on vacations such as rock climbing, surfing, and whatnot.

If you fall in the latter category and want to enjoy some outdoor activities while at a nice vacation spot, stick around!

Here are our top picks for vacation spots with excellent outdoor activities.

1. Hiking at Zion and Bryce Canyons, Utah

Hiking doesn’t really require much gear, and you can go hiking almost in any national park! If you're all about getting that move on, hiking at the Zion and Bryce Canyons will not be an excellent form of exercise but will also be a great way to go sightseeing. Not to mention, you get to witness flora and fauna in their natural habitat. When hiking with your family, you can definitely wander into the canyons by yourself but, it is recommended that you hire a local tour guide who will ensure your safety and make sure that you have a great time.
