Thread: Please help me compile this list of outdoor recreation activities

    Please help me compile this list of outdoor recreation activities

    For a book I'm planning, I'm trying to come up with a complete, or nearly complete list of outdoor recreation activities available in Utah. I'm trying to leave out such things as golf, tennis, baseball etc., and focus more on what people would think of as "outdoorsy" kinds of things. It's subjective, I know. Anyway, here's what I've come up with so far, and if you can add anything to the list, I'd appreciate it.

    Hunting
    Fishing
    Hiking
    Backpacking
    Hang gliding
    Snow Kiting
    Skiing
    Snowboarding
    Cross Country Skiing
    Boating (including personal watercraft)
    ATVs
    Mountain Biking
    Canyoneering
    River Running
    Climbing (including ice climbing)
    Snowmobiling
    Four-wheeling
    Shooting

    How about snowshoeing and one of my all time cheap favorites picnics and my son says falconry. Add geocaching, road biking or cycling, tubing, oh what is that other thing I see the kids down here in St. George do... it is like a national past time here... they have competitions and every thing... skim boarding. And last but not least another of my favorites camping.

    Rock
    Beach
    Snow

    each might require their own chapter.

    Thanks for those suggestions! I knew I wasn't coming up with a lot of things that people like to do, so it's much appreciated.

    Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

    Well, actually since I'm an expert in what you've suggested, I should write that book.

    If you want to ride let's ride and if you want an attitude well we just need to do some more ridding.

    What's "campsites" as an activity? I'm not even sure I know what "boondocking" is.

    Sorry about my german thinking.

    Boondocking, camp everywhere in the nature. I'm a RV-lover.
    Campsites isn't a activity,right but maybe you've some good hints, where some are.
