But the West has plenty in the top 10, too.

In third place is Moab, Utah, which boasts access to both Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. The options for outdoor adventures are seemingly endless in this corner of the world, from stand-up paddling along the Colorado River to hiking, canyoneering, and mountain biking while taking in the signature ochre rock formations.
