Travel's Best Adventures 2014

Spring marks a new season when travelers have the opportunity to finally shake off the winter blues and head outdoors to explore and experience what life has to offer. Some travelers enjoy eco-friendly excursions in the Galapagos Islands or adrenaline-pumping trips to Alaska to go heli-skiing, while others prefer relaxing family trips to Belize for underwater adventures.

So we decided to pull together a panel of 10 adventurous experts -- including master scuba diver Shane Reynolds, avid road tripper Allison Otto and pro-hiker Justin Wood -- to give travelers the inside scoop on where to go for the best road trip, hiking, cycling, camping, family adventure and more.
