Stay at an outfitter this summer
Are you looking for an enchanting place to spend a few days in the heart of nature? Outdoor activities are a great way to relax and forget about your daily worries while spending quality time with family and friends. If this type of vacation appeals to you, consider booking a stay with an outfitter this summer. The good news is that you can find outfitters across the country that offer experiences for all tastes. Depending on your destination, you can stay in a mountain cabin, a forest cottage, a luxurious inn or a
rustic tent. You can also choose from various activities, like hunting, fishing, kayaking, hiking, swimming, mountain biking, wildlife observation and forest survival. What’s more, some sites serve gourmet meals, while others have facilities and pro- gramming to keep children entertained. What more could you ask for?
Avoid feeding the animals Although you may think you’re doing the right thing by feeding the animals, doing so can lead to health problems. It can also cause them to become dependent on humans. Keep your distance Don’t stress out the animals by getting too close or chasing them. This could cause them to behave aggressively. Instead, use binoculars and a telephoto lens to capture your subjects from a safe distance in a non- threatening manner. You can take many wildlife tours across the country to observe whales, bears, moose, beavers, seals and more.
Do you enjoy observing and photographing animals in their natural habitat? Here are a few tips to ensure you do so respectfully. Be quiet Be quiet and discreet, so you don’t scare the animals. Also, try not to disturb your subjects to get a better picture. Attracting their attention could prevent them from perceiving danger. Preserve the environment Take nothing but pictures and leave only your footprints behind. In other words, be mindful and limit your impact on nature. For example, never wander off marked trails and always pick up your garbage.
