I want to go on vacation, and I actually really like the places that seem popular with other people, but that is the problem. While I enjoy those places, other people do as well, and that means it gets so crowded, and I don't like crowds. So, I'd appreciate it if you could help me brainstorm places that are similar to popular destinations while being a little more off the beaten path. Since this is a family vacation with two 10 year olds, make sure you pick places that have plenty for everyone to do, and list some of those things for each place. My kids love exploring outdoor places.

That sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Here are some places that I think you will like as well as what popular places they are similar to:
- Fruita, Colorado - This site is very similar to Moab, one of the most popular places to visit in the US, and is actually less than two hours away from that site. As such, it has many of the same attractions, including mountain biking, water rafting, camping, hiking, rock climbing, and more. 
- Downieville, California - This site is comparable to Lake Tahoe, another place in the US that is very popular. It is a former mining town that nearly went extinct before switching to being an outdoor recreation site. It has mountain biking trails complete with bike shuttles for your convenience and perfect for snowboarding in the winter, and the two rivers that connect nearby give plenty of opportunities for swimming, white water rafting, and paddling. 
- Tucson, Arizona - This site is similar to the crowded Sedona mountains and has over a thousand trails for hiking, mountain biking, and climbing. The nearby town also has plenty of restaurants, shops, and museums. 
- Naples, Florida - Key West is a very popular place to visit in Florida for those who want to have a marine adventure, but you can do some of the same things in Naples. This includes plenty of beaches, paddling opportunities, dolphins, manatee sightings, lagoons to explore, and more. 
- Sheridan, Wyoming - This site is less than four hours away from the well-known Yellowstone National Park. Though the park here doesn't look identical to Yellowstone, it is pretty close and far less crowded. 
I hope that you find one of these that interests you!
