She dreams of a perfect romantic escape complete with rose pedals and candlelight – while you have adventure and sports on your mind.  Except for pleasing her, most of us would rather forego a romantic vacation altogether. Thankfully, there are many resort destinations that offer just as much adventure as they do romance.  By choosing one of the following romantic-adventure destinations, you can both enjoy the perfect getaway.

Moonlight Basin
Moonlight Basin, a premier resort surrounded by Montana’s spectacular Rocky Mountains, is the ideal romantic backdrop for an adventurous weekend getaway this summer. Guests can enjoy quality time outdoors by taking in a scenic hike in the resort’s backyard, golf at the Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, horseback riding through nearby trails, taking yoga on the deck, visiting the Big Sky Farmers Market or enjoying the Music in the Mountains summer concert series.  To unwind at the end of the day, The Moonlight Spa offers a place to reconnect and relax with couple’s treatments such as the Fire and Stone massage and private hot tubs.
