June 11th is National Get Outdoors Day, a special occasion to encourage American citizens to explore the country’s beautiful natural attractions. Each year, national and state parks commemorate the day by offering free admission, special events and tours, and other activities to make the day special for those celebrating.

In observance of this important day, we took the liberty of highlighting some of the timeshare resorts with fantastic opportunities to explore the great outdoors!

1. Kings’ Land by Hilton Grand Vacations Club

Positioned on the scenic Kohala Coast, the Kings’ Land by Hilton Grand Vacations Club resort is a getaway to die for. The resort’s peaceful and serene accommodations will allow you to truly relax and breathe in the stark Hawaiian atmosphere. What’s more, with the spacious villas at the resort, each member of your group will be able to vacation like a true king or queen!

This resort’s location on Hawaii’s Big Island is perfect for outdoor exploration. The island of Hawai’i is famed for its natural attractions, like Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, the peaks of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, and the Hilo Forest Reserve!

2. Eastern Slope Inn

New Hampshire has plenty to offer when it comes to the outdoors, and no resort embraces this quite as much as the Eastern Slope Inn. Located in scenic North Conway, the resort is noted for its comfortable and historic accommodations and on-site amenities. As an RCI Silver Crown property, its services are guaranteed to exceed expectations.

The best thing about the Eastern Slope Inn is its location right in the middle of the White Mountains. You’ll find ample hiking, biking, swimming, rock climbing, and more just minutes from the resort’s ground. Spend your days traveling through the White Mountains National Forest, and hike some of New Hampshire’s Presidential Range mountains to cross some important peaks off your bucket list!

3. Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert

This Inland Empire resort brings the wonderful natural beauty of Southern California right outside your window! Escapes to warm, comfortable temperatures are abundant in the Southwest, but none of them provide an experience quite like the Westin Desert Willow Villas. Spacious villa-style accommodations include important amenities like kitchens and multiple bathrooms to make you and your group feel right at home.

When it comes to getting outdoors, you won’t lack options in Palm Desert. Joshua Tree National Park is a short drive away, with the San Jacinto Mountains and Mojave National Preserve not far away, either.

4. Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort

The Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort is one of Tennessee’s premier vacation properties. Its rustic log cabin-style design evokes a sense of a secluded forested getaway, allowing vacationers to unlock a new type of experience. With many units featuring mountain or river views, nature is the main attraction at this Westgate property.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is famous for its outdoor sports possibilities. Those who like adventuring will love the Gatlinburg resort’s proximity to the national park, and will love hiking the hundreds of mountain trails and canoeing the area’s rivers even more!
