5 Adventures to Go on Before Summer's Officially Over

If your summertime vibes are beginning to wane, it might be time for an outdoor adventure.

Summer doesn’t last forever, but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep those warm summertime vibes. The end of summer is an opportunity to take advantage of the best outdoor adventures your mind can conjure. If you feel like you’re aching for an adrenaline rush, or feel compelled to explore the great outdoors, the best end of summer adventures can help satisfy your appetite for excitement.

1. Visit a state park you’ve never been to

The power of nature is irreplaceable. If you’ve never visited a state park, you should definitely take advantage of the summertime weather, and visit the beauty of a state park near you. The purity of nature is captivating and often taken for granted. Our big city and suburban lifestyles detract from the serene sensation of nature’s beauty.

2. Hike the biggest hill you can find

Hiking unfamiliar terrain is both challenging and exciting. Log some vertical miles with your friends this summer. Find the biggest hill nearby and venture out on an all-day excursion to conquer the peak of the hilltop. Hiking combines the rigorous challenge of heated outdoor exercise and the purity of nature’s rounded edges.

3. Host a barbecue in a remote location

Barbecues are the ultimate get-together; but, rather than hosting a backyard feast to commemorate the end of summer, do something exotic. Find a remote location—a sandy beach on the outskirts of the city boundaries, or a secluded inland landmark—and send out exclusive invites to your friends and family members. Hosting a barbecue is always a good time, but organizing an end of summer bash in a private location is legendary.

4. Go to an outdoor music festival

You don’t have to be an avid outdoor adventurer to enjoy the serene beauty of the best outdoor adventures. If you don’t consider yourself the “outdoors type,” buy tickets to an upcoming outdoor music festival. Live music in an outdoor setting is the perfect way to encapsulate those summertime vibes. Invite your best friends and enjoy the end of summer with some sweet sounds outside of four walls.

5. Enjoy the sunshine on the patio

Nothing beats a low-key afternoon within the comfort of your own outdoor haven. More than anything, you should take advantage of the summertime weather in a relaxing state of mind. Bust out your favorite lounge chair and kick back with a pitcher of your favorite beverage. Enjoy the sun as the summertime wanes. Regardless of how you spend your time outdoors during the end of summer, remember to wear sunscreen and stay hydrated. Be safe and have fun.
