There’s nothing quite like getting outside and doing something adventurous. Whether you’re on your own or planning a trip with friends, the great outdoors offers endless potential. Consider some of the most popular activities you can enjoy in Tennessee, from a helicopter tour to a zipline ride.

Adventurous Activities to Try This Fall

1. Helicopter Tour

A helicopter tour is a fantastic activity for people of all ages, as it'll get your adrenaline pumping without physical exertion. It'll also give you a perspective of your destination that you can’t get from the ground. Whether you choose to fly over a city skyline or through the Great Smoky Mountains, the view from a helicopter is one you won't forget.

2. Mountain Biking

Mountain biking isn't just for experienced cyclists. There are trails available for all skill levels, so you can find one to provide the level of difficulty you'd like. It's also fantastic exercise, as you use your core to balance and your legs to power the bike.

3. White Water Rafting

White water rafting is another adrenaline rush. You'll be placed in a flexible raft with your group and a tour guide, and you'll go down the river with your guide directing you on how to paddle. You can enjoy the scenery during the slow stretches and the excitement during the rapids, and you'll get a great upper body workout in the process.

4. Hiking

Hiking is a completely free activity, and it's also adaptable for all ages and abilities. The Smoky Mountains offer endless trail options, whether you want to climb a peak for a breathtaking view or find a watering hole to swim in. Go equipped with comfortable hiking shoes and plenty of water to make your trip last all day.

5. Riding a Zipline

A zipline offers fun for the whole family. It's completely safe, but the height and speed of the line will provide that adventure you're looking for. It'll also give you a spectacular view of the local scenery as it races by below.
