For a warmer climate, choose a spot at the base of the mountain near a hiking spot. This will be a gorgeous view and give a lot of space for whatever else you have planned.

Find the perfect hiking spot and take your guests on a hike through the mountains. This will give everyone a little exercise without being too exerting on anyone. Not to mention, the view will be beautiful.

4. Bonfire Activities

Grill up some food and have everyone sit around a bonfire. You can pull out the old guitar, tell ghost stories, or enjoy each other's company. It will be a relaxing activity for everyone.
