Many people want a good excuse to hit the open road, especially during the summer months. Children and adults alike want a break from life's everyday routines and an opportunity for a little thrill-seeking. Although practically any road trip is an adventure, there are certain drives that are particularly adrenaline-inducing.

Tornado Alley. Driving through the midwestern states between the middle of April and the beginning of June can easily inspire awe, as this is the prime time for thunderstorm activity. Keeping a safe distance from violent storms, families can still witness the explosive clouds from 50-100 miles away due to the incredible visibility of the Great Plains. For those who want to catch a closer glimpse, storm chasing tours are offered in states like Oklahoma and Kansas.

Grand Canyon. When people think of this renowned national treasure, they typically associate it with scenery and not much else. However, along the steep slopes of the Colorado River there are white-water rafting tours that guide nature enthusiasts right through the canyon from north to south, effectively offering a great outdoors experience for several consecutive days. There are also helicopter tours for a panoramic view of the rich natural wonder.

Utah's National Parks. For those who want several different options for extreme hiking, Utah is the best road trip to take. This state contains the largest concentration of national parks in the country, with a wide variety of steep rock features to climb or deep valleys to descend upon.

Regardless of how far travelers must drive, or how much money it might cost, these trips are worth taking. Adventure excursions have the power to transform lives, creating memories that will last forever, while also bringing families closer together.
