Unlike the indoors, the outdoors inspires a sense of adventure with its grand, physically challenging landscape and its scarcity of distracting telenovelas. Experience excitement and fresh air with today's Groupon: for $49, you get $100 toward an outdoor adventure from Nova Guides in Red Cliff.

Nova Guides employs more than a quarter-century of experience to design adrenaline-fueled outdoor adventures for intrepid explorers. Opt for class II–III whitewater rafting on the lower Eagle River, Shoshone Rapids, or Brown's Canyon for an up-close look at Vail Valley and canyon-studded scenery ($80+ for adults, $60+ for children). Some trips include lunch, preemptively ending attempts to smuggle life vests made of jerky on the raft. Class III–IV raft tours serve up thrills in the Upper Eagle River or the Numbers, a series of rapids in the Arkansas River ($85+ for adults).

Alternatively, morning or afternoon jeep tours boast the high highs, low lows, and florid mediums of the Rocky Mountains ($80+ for adults, $40+ for children). The open-air tours brandish views of alpine meadows, follow one of 15 varied trails, and reach elevations of 12,000 feet, or 57,692 stacked limes.
