All the wild critters of the forests and deserts need wilderness areas to survive, but many travelers contend that people do too. Getting out of the city or suburbs to take in empty spaces, open skies, clear rivers, and craggy mountain peaks, can be a rejuvenating way to escape stress and make room to consider all the issues that press on us during our hectic day-to-day lives.
But sometimes hiking, camping, climbing or rafting in the great outdoors in simply fun. Nothing is so thrilling as finally reaching the summit of a difficult climb, surviving a wet and bumpy ride through a class 4 or 5 patch of whitewater, or seeing wildlife at home in its native environment.
The American West offers some of the best opportunities for outdoor adventures in the world, though those who want to travel further afield could explore New Zealand, Argentina or Switzerland, search out wildlife in the leafy green jungles of Ecuador or Brazil or climb to the top of a volcano in Costa Rica.
