Have you recently moved to the USA but haven’t really explored it yet? Those first days of settling down in America can be a bit boring. Unpacking, sorting out the admin etc etc. But the good thing is that numerous exciting places are close by and can be explored. The professional long distance movers will make the relocation simpler and quicker but you still need time to enjoy yourself before you start with your day to day routine life in America.

In America, adventure enthusiasts can go for numerous options. Here’s a guide that will help you to get a tour of the main extreme sports that you must try. Let us check them out discreetly to know more:

Waterfall rappelling

This is an adventure sport where you need to descend a rock alongside a flowing waterfall. It is an adventure activity that is conducted under the guidance of professionals. Though it’s scary, outdoor sports lover still likes to try especially when they are in America. The entire activity is done with the help of a rope, a harness, and a belay that is attached to the body to assure your safety. Beginners can start the water rappelling for short distances with the help of a guide. But, be prepared, you’ll get wet while doing this sports activity.

Ziplining

If you’re in the USA and are a great adventure lover then you can also go ziplining. This is one of the most daring and extreme sports that one can try. Ziplining means seeing the world while hanging with the harness and screaming out of fear. This is surely an unforgettable experience for those who try it. There are various spots in America where one can try this.

This will give an amazing experience of flying through thick forests or treetops and enjoying the mountains. This helps you to take the sights of beauty from daring angles. Some of the places where you can get the thrilling experience of ziplining are icy strait point, Alaska, Salida, Colorado, hunter, and New York. 

Bungee Jumping

Another daring sport that one can try in the USA is bungee jumping. This extreme sport is all about jumping from a tall structure through an elastic cord. This is of course a scary sport but it gives an amazingly thrilling experience. In this activity, the person will experience a free fall from the cliff of the tall structure and then rebound.  If you are in Washington DC then it has many places that are great for bungee jumping.

Some of the places where you can try this daring sport for the first time are High Steel Bridge, Washington, Navajo Bridge, Marble Canyon, Arizona, and Redwood Trees, California.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that cannot be expressed in words. If you’re doing bungee jumping over a river then many tour packages also include a post-jump dip in the river. This is like an add-on to the hair-raising experience when you do bungee jumping.
