Monster  Trucks<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to act like you\u2019re in a badass country song, Jack\u2019d Up      in Nashville is the right place to go. You can ride a monster truck on the      streets of Nashville and look at all the puny cars driving past you and      feel as cool as a modern day cowboy. You could also combine this monster      truck ride with another cool thing about Nashville. Ask to stop at The      Pantheon, and drive up to see the 42-foot high statue of Goddess Athena      from your monster truck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"2-Trapeze\">2. Trapeze<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"420\" src=\"http:\/\/quicktoptens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Trapeze.jpg\" alt=\"Trapeze\" class=\"wp-image-6799\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wp68.hostgator.com\/~wadobs0ab4ty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Trapeze.jpg 700w, http:\/\/wp68.hostgator.com\/~wadobs0ab4ty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Trapeze-300x180.jpg 300w, http:\/\/wp68.hostgator.com\/~wadobs0ab4ty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Trapeze-600x360.jpg 600w, http:\/\/wp68.hostgator.com\/~wadobs0ab4ty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Trapeze-400x240.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The entertainment industry in Vegas constantly pulls out the big guns and      entertains its audience in ways that other places just can\u2019t. The City of      Sin has it all, but apart from gambling, another amazing thing you can do      in Las Vegas is to learn how to perform high flying feats with real-life      Trapeze artists. If you get tired of flying attached to cables, you can      always go back to the casino or visit the Area 51 Alien Travel Center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"3-White-Water-Rafting\">3. White Water Rafting<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> An ever-popular adventure sport, white water rafting on the      Colorado River is something of a rite of passage that one must do to get      the complete American experience. There is a multitude of companies      offering great deals for this high-adrenaline sport and most of them are      trusted and safe. But you should be careful, however, and always follow      the instructions of your guide since white water rafting can be dangerous      and sometimes even fatal if things go incredibly wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"4-Swimming-with-Manatees\">4. Swimming with Manatees<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re tired of staying on land, you could always go to the Crystal River in Florida and make some friends underwater. Every winter manatees migrate to the Crystal River, looking for warmer waters and this time of year can be great to experience this fully. It is best to book a tour with a licensed company since manatee swimming is strictly regulated in the state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"5-Sand-Sledding\">5. Sand Sledding<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"480\" src=\"http:\/\/quicktoptens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/The-white-sands-of-New-Mexico.jpg\" alt=\"Sand Sledding\" class=\"wp-image-6800\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wp68.hostgator.com\/~wadobs0ab4ty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/The-white-sands-of-New-Mexico.jpg 960w, http:\/\/wp68.hostgator.com\/~wadobs0ab4ty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/The-white-sands-of-New-Mexico-300x150.jpg 300w, http:\/\/wp68.hostgator.com\/~wadobs0ab4ty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/The-white-sands-of-New-Mexico-800x400.jpg 800w, http:\/\/wp68.hostgator.com\/~wadobs0ab4ty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/The-white-sands-of-New-Mexico-600x300.jpg 600w, http:\/\/wp68.hostgator.com\/~wadobs0ab4ty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/The-white-sands-of-New-Mexico-400x200.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The white sands of New Mexico are calling to all you desert      lovers out there. The White Sands National Monument is a 275 square mile      field of sand dunes with very less people, since it\u2019s a very underrated      spot. This works to your advantage though since you\u2019ll have more space and      less of a crowd to sand sled. The entry fee is only $5 and you can but a      plastic sled at the visitor\u2019s center and have a great afternoon amongst      the sand dunes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"6-Experience-Zero-Gravity\">6. Experience Zero Gravity<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned in the beginning of the article, you can      experience on land what astronauts experience in space! Specially trained      pilots help you perform manoeuvres that make you feel like you\u2019re in space      and floating freely. There are four different places where you can      experience this, Cape Canaveral, Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas, and Oakland, California. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"7-Storm-Chasing\">7. Storm Chasing<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" src=\"http:\/\/quicktoptens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tornadoes-in-Oklahoma-City.jpg\" alt=\"storm chasing\" class=\"wp-image-6801\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wp68.hostgator.com\/~wadobs0ab4ty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tornadoes-in-Oklahoma-City.jpg 780w, http:\/\/wp68.hostgator.com\/~wadobs0ab4ty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tornadoes-in-Oklahoma-City-300x168.jpg 300w, http:\/\/wp68.hostgator.com\/~wadobs0ab4ty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tornadoes-in-Oklahoma-City-600x337.jpg 600w, http:\/\/wp68.hostgator.com\/~wadobs0ab4ty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/tornadoes-in-Oklahoma-City-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Testing the limits of your own body is all well and good, but how      about testing mother nature? That\u2019s right, you book a tour that chases      tornadoes in a car for 6 days in Oklahoma City, finding these twisters      with satellite radar imaging. Spring is the ideal time to go for this; you      can find winds as fast as 500 km\/hr! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"8-Free-Fall\">8. Free Fall<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> Recorded as the most extreme rope swing, the Utah rope swing lets      you free fall 400 feet before you find yourself swinging within a slot of      the Grand Canyon. This is not for the faint of heart, but if it sounds      like something you may enjoy, you need to go to Corona Arch to try it out.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"9-Operate-Heavy-Machinery\">9. Operate  Heavy Machinery<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"669\" height=\"446\" src=\"http:\/\/quicktoptens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Operate-Heavy-Machinery.jpg\" alt=\"heavy machinery - las vegas\" class=\"wp-image-6802\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wp68.hostgator.com\/~wadobs0ab4ty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Operate-Heavy-Machinery.jpg 669w, http:\/\/wp68.hostgator.com\/~wadobs0ab4ty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Operate-Heavy-Machinery-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/wp68.hostgator.com\/~wadobs0ab4ty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Operate-Heavy-Machinery-600x400.jpg 600w, http:\/\/wp68.hostgator.com\/~wadobs0ab4ty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Operate-Heavy-Machinery-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 669px) 100vw, 669px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great experience in Las Vegas is getting to operate      heavy machinery such as bulldozers and excavators. You can even test your      bulldozer driving skills by participating in games like bulldozer      teeter-totter and excavator basketball. For nostalgia\u2019s sake, you can even      get dirt-scented candles at gift shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"10-Fly-To-Space\">10. Fly To Space<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Quite literally. With prices starting at $250,000 you can travel      to space on a Galactic Flight. The spacecraft reaches speeds of about 2000      miles per hour and altitudes of 50,000 feet. Now, what\u2019s more adrenaline      inducing than getting out of the atmosphere?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion <\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>So there it is the 10 most unique and intense experiences in the US. There are many more that you can find, and this list is only meant to guide you to the rich and varying experiences that the US presents.
