Fun outdoor activities in Arizona

  • May 9, 2022
  • Jules

No matter if you’re a resident of Arizona or the one who is traveling to Arizona first-ever, summers here, beyond doubt, are brutal! Now what? Do you want to keep yourself aside from all the adventurous and fun things as summer rolls around? Indeed, not! It’s time to head out and indulge in some fun outdoor activities. Don’t forget to pack sunscreen lotion to protect your skin from the sun’s blazing heat. 

However, Arizona is the best traveling destination for enjoying every season and getting the most out of its outdoor activities. Whether you’re willing to stay safe in this social distancing era, indulge in exercises, or go on to explore the colorful nature that the state has. 

So, these are the top 5 fun outdoor activities that will help you create memories in this scenic place. Let’s get started!

  1. Explore Grand Canyon National Park

Grand Canyon has always been the most renowned outdoor tourist hub across the year. This is a top-notch place for backcountry hiking and camping as you traverse through the great outdoors. The best places to go here are Desert View Drive on Highway 64, South Rim Village, Tuweep, and North Rim. 

Other fun activity scopes here include bicycling, mule riding, guided tours, and river rafting. However, if you’re a true hiking enthusiast, hiking trails in Scottsdale hold some magnificent experiences! 

  1. Floating on Salt River

It’s more of a Phoenix-area tradition, where you must not expect ancient or rapid ruins. Instead, you will cherish your time while chatting up strangers, happy weekenders tossing back beers, and having fun. Moreover, if you want to escape the hustle-bustle of Arizona City, this river that floats through the Tonto National Forest is the best way. 

  1. Skydiving

Diving into skydiving is the best fun activity in Arizona if the hot-air balloon can’t satiate your mind. Arizona has developed a captivating skydiving scene thanks to this state’s temperate weather and clear blue skies. If you’re one of the first-timers trying a tandem jump, skydiving in Arizona offers an acute adrenaline rush.

  1. Enjoy Rafting on the Colorado River

Do you want to reminisce about your best time in Arizona years after years? Then, river rafting will be one of the unforgettable outdoor fun activities to try! The local river guide organizations will take you to the river and prepare you for optimum safety. Arizona has single-day, 2-day, and 5-day Whitewater River rafting tariffs. . 

  1. Go Off-Roading on the Sand Dunes

The off-roading adventurers desire to come to Imperial Sand Dunes in the vicinity of Yuma and Interstate 8. The OHV riders visit for maximum adventure, capturing stunning sceneries and wide-open spaces near the Arizona-California border. There are more than 40 miles of dunes, which reach 300 feet in height. 

Conclusion

These are the top 5 fun outdoor activities in Arizona, which you should give a try if you’re a travel freak! Besides these 5 activities, there are mountain biking on the rugged trail of Prescott, hot-air ballooning over the Sonoran Desert, and many more. Happy traveling!
