It’s one thing if you’re the kind of traveler who seeks out adventure, but what if the adventure happens to be right by your hotel? You may end up trying something totally new … and you might just get hooked.

Near Orlando’s Ritz-Carlton and J.W. Marriott, guests ages 10 and up can experience the Grande Lakes Adventure Course.

It’s got ropes courses, platforms, and rock-climbing walls.

Oh, and don’t forget the 600-foot zipline and 40-foot swing.

If that got your adrenaline flowing, check out the Bretton Woods Canopy Tour in New Hampshire, near the Omni Mount Washington Resort.

This tree-top tour involves suspension bridges and trails connecting nine levels of ziplines.

And chances are you know there’s a roller coaster inside New York, New York Hotel in Las Vegas.

But did you know you can get married while it’s in motion? Talk about a thrill ride.

Prefer something a little less, er, heart stopping? Stick with mountain resorts like Heavenly in Lake Tahoe and Aspen, Colorado, where you can walk out of your hotel and hop onto a scenic gondola ride.

Consider it something for those of us who prefer a more laid-back adventure.
