Summer is quickly approaching which means it is time to start planning your Disney family vacation! If you are looking to break away from your standard beach trip, Adventures By Disney – yes, Disney – has exactly what you need for a fun-filled family vacation in the great outdoors.
Have you always dreamt of trekking through the Grand Canyon? Or maybe you’ve wanted to plan a family glamping trip, but didn’t know where to start? Adventures By Disney takes care of it all with their perfectly curated itineraries. Of course, each unique experience has that magical touch that only Disney can provide. Get ready to hike, bike, raft, and kayak through the most breathtaking terrain that North America has to offer. These are the top 5 Disney outdoor adventures that I’m adding to my summer bucket list, and I think you should too.
1. Arizona & Utah (Grand Canyon)

There is no better time to visit the Grand Canyon! As it celebrates its 100th year as an official National Park, experience one of the seven natural wonders of the world in all of its majestic glory.
This Adventures By Disney itinerary will have you hiking along iconic trails. Rafting through the Colorado River. Exploring Arches National Park in Arizona, and witnessing the red rock canyons of Moab, Utah.
2. Montana (Yellowstone National Park)

You better pack your cowboy boots for this Old West adventure! Go glamping under the stars and stay at a rustic dude ranch in Montana.
In addition to horseback riding and fly fishing, you’ll have access to the geothermal wonders of Yellowstone! Marvel at Mammoth Hot Springs Terraces, Old Faithful Geyser, Grand Prismatic Spring and more.
You don’t have to tell me ‘yee-haw’ twice.
3. Canadian Rockies (Banff and Lake Louise)

Bask in the beauty of Banff and Lake Louise as Adventures By Disney visits Canada. Glacial cliffs, pristine lakes, and rushing rapids await you at every turn.
If gondola rides and guided expeditions over the Colombia Ice Fields aren’t enough, this itinerary will be particularly pleasing for the foodies. After you’ve worked up an appetite exploring, you can take a food tour of Alberta’s Cowboy Trail.
4. Alaska (“The Last Frontier”)

Journey into the vast wilderness of Alaska and discover this stunning, biologically rich terrain. On this nature filled vacation, you’ll have the unique opportunity to pan for gold, make friends with real Iditarod sled dogs, and experience the tranquility of Denali National Park.
Also, if you’re an animal lover, you’ll definitely enjoy the visit to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation.
5. Wyoming (Two Ways)

This is an Adventures By Disney Short Escape Vacation and can actually be done two ways.
In the summer, travelers spend 7 days/6 nights at a ranch. Explore by horseback, fly fish, canoe, and whitewater raft down the Snake River. Also included, excursions at Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.

If you can’t get all these on your summer bucket list, then you can save Wyoming for a winter trip. The wintry wilderness of Wyoming boasts views of the snow-capped Rockies and dog sledding.
