Action and Adventure in Your Own Backyard

Looking for a thrill? You may not have to look that far. While it may be tempting to think that seeking action and adventure means traveling to far off destinations, often times you can find adventure just around the corner. Here are three action-packed activities you can do close to home.


Parkour. Born of basic military obstacle training, parkour exploded in popularity in part thanks to movies like Casino Royale and Brick Mansions. The concept is simple: Anything can be an obstacle. Often practiced in parks and cities, parkour can be done alone or as part of a group and requires no specific gear to get started, making it extremely accessible.


Rock climbing. You don’t necessarily have to be out in the mountains to enjoy rock climbing. As the sport gains in popularity more and more rock climbing centres are opening up, and many gyms are incorporating rock climbing walls into their facilities. Odds are you won’t have to look very far for a good rock climbing spot nearby! For the uninitiated who are worried about fussing with harnesses, bouldering often serves as an excellent introduction to rock climbing.


Biking. Mountain biking certainly provides a thrill, and usually any kind of rough terrain can be suitable for the job. For those who live far away from mountains or other suitable environments, the focus can be shifted to speed riding or even distance riding, anything more than just a leisurely stroll.
