40 Whether you're negotiating the switch- back trail to the lofty heights of Angels Landing or descending into the depths of the Grand Canyon nearly a mile below the earth's surface, sometimes the hardest challenges offer the richest rewards. Test your mettle on the near vertical hikes of the Franconia Notch and conquer your fear of heights rock- climbing in Acadia National Park or satisfy your need for speed with some full- suspension downhill mountain biking on Mt. Killington in Vermont. Our Xtra Adventures will ensure that you delve deeper into the wilds with an overnight canoe trip, get closer to nature with some whale watching from a Zodiac and even don a hard hat, venturing underground for some incredible caving in British Columbia.

Jump on an extreme Hummer tour in Moab and lay your chips on the table in Vegas; because adrenalin comes in all shapes and sizes. You could soon be coming face to face with a black bear, watching killer whales from a kayak or mountain bike the famous Slickrock trail overlooking the Colorado River and Arches National Park.

After an exciting horseride though the desert, tuck into some delicious cowboy grub before a great night under the western stars. Day 5 Canyonlands National Park- It couldn't sound more like cowboy country if it tried. It's dressed for the part too, with its flat- topped mesas streaked in burnt oranges, amber and deep red... perfect for hiking!
