Hiking, a kind of interaction with nature, provides fantastic exercise, combining sightseeing and workouts into one. Here are some unforgettable hiking vacations that will lead you into the thick of your destination.
Larapinta Trail, Australia
Dying for a good hike through the outback(内陆)? Then head to Australia’ s Larapinta Trail, a 130-mile trip through the Northern Territory of the island continent. Almost the entire hike is desert. Perhaps the best way to end a long day in the hot Australian sun is to watch the pink-and-orange sunset, open a sleeping bag and look up. Repeat visitors to the Larapinta say this part of Australia offers some of the best stargazing in the world.
Inca Trail, Peru
Today, as part of an effort to minimize environmental impact, trail(线路) access is limited to 500 people per day, and most hikers participate as part of guided groups. And the most thoughtful thing is that the groups hire porters to carry the luggage, so hikers need only to worry about enjoying the scenery! Most of these organized trails include tent accommodations and surprisingly delicious three-course meals. Of course, they also include a final day at Machu Picchu, the “Lost City of the Incas”.
Cape Scott Trail, British Columbia
To call the five-day hike challenging would be the understatement of the century. The adventure begins gradually. From the trailhead at Cape Scott Provincial Park, the trail follows an old settler's road along a stream through a 4-mile stretch of wetland. With every step, the mud threatens to add to what surely has become a sizable boot collection. Because the rivers are so wide, visitors have to take the cable-car.
Via Ferrata, Italy
The trails themselves date to World War I, when Italian forces built them as a way to move soldiers from one section of the Alps to another. Today, with the war in the distant past, the routes provide the perfect venue for hikers looking for a day-long escape.

The Most Undervalued Travel Places in the U.S.
When people think of travel places in the United States, buzzy places like Miami, New York and Las Vegas often come to mind. Here are some undervalued cities to consider for your next U.S. vacation.
Stanley, Idaho
Outdoor lovers might want to consider adding Stanley to their lists. You can challenge yourself with virtually endless hiking trails and fishing adventures (冒险). And once you're all tired out, simply take in the beautiful lake scenery and relax in the local hot springs (温泉).
Minneapolis—St. Paul, Minnesota
When you think of Midwest city breaks, Chicago might be top of mind, but consider a trip to the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The Twin Cities have well-known art, theater and cooking scenes, as well as plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures. And of course, you can cross off the Mall of America from your bucket list.
Athens, Georgia
Athens isn't just home to the University of Georgia (and all the SEC football fanfare that comes with it). The “Classic City” is known for its music scene, which has produced iconic bands like R.E.M., the B-52s and Widespread Panic. Travelers can visit famous performance venues like Georgia Theatre and the 40 Watt Club, and explore the downtown's many bars and restaurants.
Bentonville, Arkansas
Bentonville is probably most famous for being the birthplace of Walmart, but the growing Arkansas city offers more than just big-box history. Museum fans can check out the Museum of Native American History, as well as the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and its satellite, the Momentary. There are also a number of trails and lakes in the area to get your nature fix.
【小题1】What do Minneapolis-St. Paul and Stanley have in common?| A．Hot springs. | B．Outdoor adventures. |

With over 2.4 millon visitors every year，Cinque Terre is one of the most-visited regions in Italy. Cinque Terre is truly special. The five candy-colored fishing villages of Riomaggiore，Manarola，Comiglia，Vemazza，and Monterosso al Mare are built into cliffs over the clean and brightly-shining Ligurian Sea. Whether you're visiting the region for a few days or a few weeks，these are the experiences you should add to your trip pleasure.
★Take a scenic hike.
It's easy to visit each of the attractive villages on foot. The most popular hike is the coastal path Sentiero Azzuro. It links all five villages and offers extremely beautiful scenery of the sea，architecture and vineyards(葡萄园). It takes about six hours to go across，with short breaks，but most people are going to stop in the villages for food and swimming.
★Eat seafood in a cone(锥形).
Dessert lovers might think that Italian ice-cream is the best thing to be served in a cone but make room for seafood cones as well. Thanks to its coastal location, Cinque Terre is full of seafood restaurants.
★Get on a boat.
If the weather cooperates, take the time to get out on the water. The villages look very beautiful from a boat. The cheapest and easiest way is to jump on the public ferry from one of the villages to the next, but these boats are often crowded. It's far more relaxing to take a private cruise, which departs from the docks in Riomaggiore, Manarola, Vemazza, and Monterosso al Mare.
★Take the train.
Cinque Terre's train system is one of the most scenic in Europe. The high -speed train runs through each of the five villages every 20 minutes or so. And the whole line is directly on the coast, offering lovely views of the Ligurian Sea and rocky cliffs.
【小题1】What is special about the five candy -colored fishing villages?| A．Their special location. | B．Their long history. |
| C．Their delicious foods. | D．Their friendly villagers. |
| A．Italian noodles | B．Italian ice-cream. |
| C．Italian wines. | D．Seafood cones. |
