Sunshine is truly the medicine for the soul. The only downfall to a day outdoors is the summer heat and your body’s tendency to glisten in the warmth (#sweaty). We all love to soak it up but here are some places offering the opposite effect – cooling you down through cool waters and cool (#punny) adventures.

1. CAVE OF THE MOUNDS
