Flying on a drone almost anywhere, whether it is in your backyard or at the beach, is fun and enjoyable. Now imagine the feeling of an adrenaline rush while speeding down the picturesque coast of Rhode Island or soaring over active volcanoes in Alaska, all in a first-person view.
Our team at Drone Nerds compiled a list of the most exciting and exotic hidden gems to fly your drone—all in America’s backyard.
The Aleutian Islands consist of a chain of more than 200 islands, including 57 submarine volcanoes. The islands have a small population, but the wildlife truly warrants a visit. The lush green tundra is home to thousands of different bird species waiting to be seen.
Imagine flying the Mavic Air 2 through the islands, capturing footage of the extraordinary views and fauna without disturbing the wildlife—that sounds like an adventure.
Enjoy filming from great heights? The Perrine Bridge in Idaho is just where you need to take your drone. This famous bridge in the US has a towering height of 486 feet above the ground, crossing over Snake River Canyon. Take a nose-dive and shift into a last-minute ascent to really get your adrenaline pumping!
Lightweight, compact, and portable, the DJI Mini 2 is ideal for a backpacking trip to Quake Lake. This incredible site was created by an earthquake back in 1959, and now connects to the Madison River. Capture astronomical views by flying high above the lake to truly see the incredible structure made by mother nature.
