What does a vacation mean to you? Relaxing with a good book, sampling restaurant fare, and experiencing a color tour are all enjoyable. But why not try something new on your next road trip by working fitness into your fun?

• Walking tours. Most cities have walking tours through historic districts or other points of interest; examples include the archi-trek tour in Illinois, highlighting the revolutionary architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, and Missouri’s Chain of Rocks, the world’s longest walking/biking bridge.

• Water adventures. From wild, roller-coaster waves to relaxing, calm waters — California, Arizona, and Virginia are among the many states that offer whitewater rafting, kayaking, or canoeing.

• Caving. Go beneath the surface to explore magnificent rock formations. Missouri’s Fantastic Caverns, New Mexico’s Ice Caves, or Oklahoma’s Alabaster Caverns State Park are examples.

• Working ranches. Cowboy up and experience the rugged life at one of the many visitor-friendly ranches in Arizona or Texas.

Fitness-based vacations are fun and adventurous — all while giving your health a boost.
