Cool Winter RV Trips

After you buy your new or used RV online, the fun starts! Where will you go first? If you crave warm weather and sunshine, head south. While the rest of the country shivers,  the Gulf Coast and Southwest offer plenty of warm, sunny days and spring-like evenings. But chilly weather also shoos away the tourists away from vacation destinations in cooler climes, making winter the ideal time to visit some of America’s most interesting and beautiful natural areas.

> Go star gazing in the red rock country around Moab, Utah. Marvel at the Milky Way and see the stars the way America’s first inhabitants saw them. Take an astronomy tour to learn about the stars and constellations and get a telescopic view of the moon and other planets. Arches National Park is just 5 miles from Moab and Canyonlands is 35 miles west. Dead Horse Point State Park is a must see with incredible scenic vistas. Don’t forget your camera!

> Walk the beach, explore the tidal pools and climb monolithic Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach, Oregon. The weather flip-flops faster than a politician, but stormy weather only lasts a day or two. Crowded with tourists in the summer, Cannon Beach is a quaint, pleasant town with interesting shops and cozy pubs in the winter.

> Discover the desert in winter at Death Valley National Park. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the valley is strikingly beautiful. Ranger-led hikes offer a fascinating look at this unique environment.
