Are you looking for an active getaway this summer that’s relaxing but also invigorating? We’ve found some spots off the beaten path where you can indulge in your favorite outdoor activity while dodging the summer crowds. Venture to a corner of the country you’ve never been to before. Adventure awaits!
1. Pickleball in Seattle: Almost 50 million people play pickleball in the United States. This fun sport combines badminton, wiffleball, tennis, and ping pong. You can play almost anywhere, and pickleball courts are now available at many resorts. A pickleball vacation sounds like the perfect getaway! One trip idea for true pickleball lovers is taking a pilgrimage to the “home of pickleball” - Bainbridge Island, Washington. The six Founders Courts at Battle Point Park are located near the home where the sport was invented in 1965. After that historical stop, head to Seattle and have fun at the Seattle Metro Pickleball Association. They host local play, beginner and novice clinics, play dates, and the Seattle Metro Classic Tournament from July 30th – August 4th, 2024. Join the fun, register to play, or enjoy being a spectator. Playing pickleball requires frequent lateral movements, making it crucial to have lateral stability and safeguard the knees. The Copper Fit ICE Compression Knee Sleeve offers a lightweight, compressive solution, ensuring enhanced comfort and stability without restricting mobility. Infused with micro-encapsulated menthol and CoQ10, it also provides relief for sore muscles.
2. Rafting in Maine: Looking for a family vacation that will take you all for a thrill ride and where no one can say, “I’m bored”? How about a float or, more accurately, a rafting trip, as in white water rafting? While there is rafting in almost every state (check out a list of options here), consider the beauty of being on the water in Maine. The Penobscot River flows south from the final summit of the Appalachian Trail - Mt. Katahdin. This river is known for its variety, and because it is controlled by a dam, there is consistent water flow. The features like falls, holes, and rapids range from Class 3 to the Class 5 Ripogenus Gorge. The scenery is beautiful as the river runs through Maine's Baxter State Park; keep your eyes out for wildlife - you might just see a moose! Be ready for an adrenaline rush, as the river is known for its exhilarating whitewater rafting experience. It offers some of the most challenging and technical rapids in the eastern United States. Make sure you are ready to row. As they say, you need to be able to “row out of trouble,” so don’t let a sore elbow keep you from enjoying the fun. Wear Copper Fit’s Freedom Elbow Sleeve. The contour construction with mild to moderate compression helps to provide all-day comfort without losing shape. You’ll be ready to take on the river!
3. Hiking in Washington: Northwest Hoh Rainforest in the Olympic National Park is a tranquil nature escape. Surrounded by lush greenery and abundant wildlife, it’s been described as stepping back in time because, as The Seven Wonders of Washington State explains, “the unique ecosystem has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and it is now the most carefully preserved rain forest in the northern hemisphere.” As you hike in glorious greenery, the old-growth trees serve as a canopy. This is a unique treasure; grab your walking shoes and check it out!
4. Camping in South Dakota: The Black Hills National Forest isn’t exactly “under the radar” - it’s the home of MT Rushmore! But, while most people might take a pit stop to gaze at the colossal portraits of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt, they miss the 1.25-million-acre forest and all there is to see and explore. This national park is an adventure without crowds that can make other popular parks jam-packed in the summer. The park touts that there is “an activity for everyone” with terrain that includes plunging canyons, gulches, open grasslands, and deep blue lakes. Consider hiking, fishing, camping, mountain biking, horseback riding, and more; this is the place for adventure!
5. Canoeing in Georgia:The Suwannee River in Georgia is for the outdoorsman looking for serene beauty in a picturesque setting. You can plan a 10-day paddle all 225 miles to the gulf or just a day paddle surrounded by beauty. The landscape is unbeatable: limestone bluffs, sandy beaches, and clear freshwater springs for a mid-paddle dip. Find your own itinerary or join a canoe trip like this one here. Don’t let carpal tunnel or rheumatoid arthritis (RA) stop you from enjoying this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Compression gloves are a vital component for RA and carpal tunnel syndrome sufferers to help take the stress off of their hands.They help ease pain, improve circulation, reduce stiffness and inflammation, and improve grip strength.Copper Fit Hand Relief Compression Gloves support the wrist, palm, and fingers and are designed to give you more power, support, and confidence in your abilities. A must-have item for your next adventure!
Now is the perfect time to plan your summer trip. Consider an adventure that takes you to a new and different place. Keep exploring! And don’t forget your Copper Fit for optimal support.
