Contact the city of Durango Co, ask about public land such as BLM land(bureau of land management). I also found out that there are a lot of SWA(state wildlife areas)in the area.Call the national forest service, and also I know people dont like hunters but the CDOW( Colorado dept of wildlife)has cool stuff on their web site such as watchable wildlife info and also info on public land. Have fun be safe

There are beaches along the Chesapeake Bay at Sandy Point. Also you can cross the Bay Bridge to Ocean City, Rehoboth and Bethany Beach. Some people kayak in the Potomac River but you have to be an expert because it is very rough. Deep Creek Lake is very nice and not over run with tourists. I am sure there are other places, too. Check the Baltimore Sun or The Washington Post for recreational sites.

Brighton has great runs and has cheaper prices. Alta is a good deal if all of ya'll are skiers. Snowbird is great if you have 4 kids going w/ u, cuz of the buy two adult passes, get 1 kid pass free. In my opinion Solitude is not good cuz its mainly tourist condo and cabin stuff

If your looking for a place to go outdoors your in the right place! There are ton's of places withing a few hours drive of you. There is the Mt Charleston area that is good for hiking and there is also Death Valley a few hours away. Also  there is Lake Mead and Lake Powell to go out on the water in the Summer time or warmer weather.There is also Mojave Preserve and  Bryce within a few hours too.Try checking on hiking online groups. Great places to find hikes are in backpacker magazine and online in myspace groups and listed below

Phoenix is, unfortunately, a great place to get creamed by a car.  Bikes get little respect on the roads.\n\nThe Arizona Canal itself and the system of Salt River Project canals run through Scottsdale all the way to Glendale, are worth a look.  It's a smooth trail (decomposed granite), but is NOT paved.  A road bike won't work, but it is nice for running and biking (with a mountain bike or crossover).\n\nThe trails are nice, and go for miles in every direction.  They cut through golf courses and other nice areas.

for southern california just going up to big bear or lake arrowhead for a day would be awesome :] they have tons of patches of fresh snow that you could build snowmen with or sled down some nice bunny hills, theres also an ice rink and a lake that has snow around it so you can throw rocks in the water or something :) have fun!

Horesback riding, golf (signature courses as well as par 3 and mini golf).  There are night time light shows, swimming, fishing hiking, horseback riding, paddle boats "fine" dining (which I didn't find that great).  In the winter there is skiing also.\n\nI'm sure you've seen the website:\nhttp://www.oglebay-resort.com/\n\nI've been there.  It's nice for a state run "resort".

One thing to keep in mind...the speed limit on the Trace is 50. It is pretty scenic. Lots of historic sites. Expect to see lots of wildlife (turkey, deer, etc.). Camping in May could get hot, but not unbearable. I live in Jackson, there are a few things to do. Old capitol museum, golf, Ross Barnett Reservoir, good food. Depending on when in May you are coming, there are some good concerts.

Magee Creek in Walthall County is nice.  You'd have to have a canoe or some other small boat to get down it.  The creek, which is pretty wide and deep in spots, has alot of tree coverage and fairly large banks in areas but there are places to pull off and do what you please.  It's not 100% secluded as other people may be in a boat as well, but it isn't travelled as much as other creeks and rivers I've been on.  We go fairly often and usually never see anyone.

Austin Lodge is a good course. Its located close to the A20 just on the outside of the M25.

www.riveroaksgardenclub.org\n\ngo there and click on link to the Azalea Trail. The River Oaks Garden Club is the organization that puts this shindig on every year.  I never miss it and it should be FANTASTIC this year.

You need www.rei.com and their free outdoor advisers. REI is a  non-for-profit gear retailer that will help you whether or not you are a member, whether or not you buy anything. You can get advice via real-time chat or by phone. Don't forget to bring a big garbage bag and some disposable gloves to leave the trail even cleaner than you found it. Have a great hike.

I really looked for the answer to this one, but I didn't find any bike trails on the Wisconsin State Tourism site or on a lot of other sites.\nI'd suggest you check the Columbia County Tourism site at\nhttp://www.columbiacountytourism.com/\n\nWhat might be even more help is to check out this site:\nhttp://www.mikebentley.com/bike/wisconsin.htm\nIt has lots of information on trails and clubs.  It's really amazing!\nBiking in that part of the state seems to be a great way to see it.  Have fun!
