Great Outdoors Month in June beckons us to go out and explore all that nature has to offer. Celebrated all over the U.S., the month is dedicated to the country’s diverse landscapes, which boast dense forests, long winding rivers, tranquil lakes, rocky mountains, and much more. We are not only surrounded by so much technology every day, but the hubbub and the fast-paced life of the 21st century have left many of us drained of energy. Therefore, visiting and exploring the great outdoors will provide us with a much-needed new lease on life, both mentally and physically. No matter where you live, you will find something fun to do in the outdoors with your loved ones.
Great Outdoors Month® – which began in 1998 under President Bill Clinton as Great Outdoors Week – has grown over the years into a month-long celebration of America’s public lands and waters at the national, state and local levels with thousands of events across the country.
