New to RVing.
Making the trip from So CA to SW Colorado in the Spring.
Several routes have been suggested but I'm not sure which is best.
Also We'd like to camp several times along the way. We belong to Thousand Trails but are fine with other RV campus. Do not want to try boondoggle just yet.
I'm mostly concerned with overly steep highways and difficult roads.
Thanks.m
Think you can tell that a lot more info is needed to give REAL HELP.
If you could fill out the Info so we know what you are IN that would help.
As this is your first Post it is likely that this is also your first Trip?.
My Best would not Be YOUR Best - for sure - as I love the Mountains and Will go Out of My way to get to that Next Pass. :)
In the Colorado Mountains Spring is usually Late (after Memorial Day) and Fall is Usually Early (Right after Labor Day) so your trip needs to keep that in mind. A Date would Help.
As for a route I'll post a Map with MANY Options along the way to and from - so YOU will need to pick from the list not try to do the list on the first Trip!
MAPI've included many options and most are in areas free from SNOW in the spring, BUT as you gain elevation things will change, so keep that in Mind.
Three places I'd try to see would be Canyon de Chelly - Monument Valley - Mesa Verde - of course the Grand Canyon if you have never been.
Hope this is of SOME Help.
Best of Luck,
