It’s time to stock the RV, pack up the kids and head out on the highway in search of new adventures. America offers a cornucopia of exciting and FREE RV travel destinations. Here are some more of our favorites:

Rose Gardens, Portland, OR. In June, everything’s coming up roses in Portland, home of the amazingly fragrant 4.5-acre International Rose Test Garden and host of the month-long Portland Rose Festival. With more than 10,000 plantings of 550 rose varieties, these lush thematic gardens drown the senses in color and scent. Spend a delightful day strolling through the romantic Shakespeare Garden or admiring the prize-winners in the Gold Medal Garden. The gardens are open Memorial Day through Columbus Day.

Whale Watching, Big Sur, CA. From late April to early December, humpback whales gather to feed and folic in the waters of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California, south of San Francisco. From numerous lookout points along scenic Highway 1, you can watch these 55-foot behemoths cavort as they leap into the air and slap their massive tails, sending fountains of spray into the air. Continue driving north along the coast and you’ll see otters, seals and sea lions playing on the rocks near Carmel and Monterey.

Bat Bridge, Austin, TX. They start to emerge every evening at dusk from mid-March through November. From under Austin’s Congress Avenue bridge swarm thousands of Mexican free-tailed bats, blanketing the sky in a dark, undulating cloud that consumes 10,000 to 20,000 pounds of insects nightly. Fans say August is the best time to witness this incredible display by one of nature’s spookiest creatures.
