ARE YOU READY FOR A BIG ADVENTURE?
This book is about to take you on a whirlwind tour of the United States, from the mountains of Maine to the beaches of California, the volcanoes of Hawaii to the forests of Virginia!
You don’t need special skills or smarts to head out on an adventure, just a positive spirit and a readiness to try new things. Learn to climb up rocky pinnacles in Alabama, dig
for beautiful crystals in Oklahoma, and collect your own wild plants for dinner in Oregon. If you have lots of energy, scramble through a slot canyon in Utah, climb a mountain in New Hampshire, or explore a glacier in Alaska. To cool off, glide down a natural stone waterslide in Pennsylvania!
The U.S.A. is full of wild places and great ways to explore them, but some of the coolest adventures are right in our biggest cities, from kayaking in Boston to birding in New York City. With an intrepid spirit, you can also have fun exploring your very own backyard and neighborhood parks, discovering the cool birds, mammals, and plants that live there. No foray is too small for a sense of discovery. What’s stopping you? Set forth and explore the big, wide, outdoor world both near and far in the 50 states!

ARKANSAS – KAYAK A WILD AND WINDING RIVER
Floating down the Buffalo National River in a kayak, dip your paddle into the bluegreen water and listen to the sounds of water rippling. Along the banks, bluffs of sandstone, limestone, and dolomite rise as high as 590 feet.
ILLINOIS – ICE SKATE IN CHICAGO
Layer up and lace up your skates. It’s wintertime in Chicago and the whole city is frosty and white. That means it’s time to glide across the ice on the city’s famous skating ribbon! Unlike boring old oval rinks, this one winds like a snake and is twice as long as a normal rink.
TEXAS – KITEBOARD SOUTH PADRE ISLAND
With a huge kite in the air, a strong wind and a board on your feet, you’re speeding across the surface of the ocean like magic. Harnessing the power of the wind, see if you can lift off the surface. You might even try doing tricks like flipping and spinning—it feels like flying!
