TX to NM for Spring Break, Route, look it over:-)
Update, after some research and looking at suggestions originally provided, I have made my preliminary route. See my latest post and provide any suggestions if possible. Thanks!
So we are trying to plan somewhere to go in our RV for Spring break. One year in high school I went to Ruidoso, NM during spring break with a friend and his family and it was pretty cool. I remember we had gone to some mountain in the area, can't remember the name, but I think it was where Apache Ski resort is at, as I thought the mountain was called Apache Mountain. Anyhow, there was still snow up there but it was not crazy cold and the driving conditions seemed fine. Anyhow, my kids keep asking to see snow and I figured this might be a shot for them to see snow and it be feasible for us to get there from Austin, Texas with only a weeks time for traveling. My questions are, is it the norm for there to still be snow in March up there (8-16), and how accessible is it to get to these areas in a 30ft Class C motorhome, also is there a route or roads I should avoid due to steep grades, snow, or there concerns? Lastly, any recommendations on where to stay in that area? This would be the first trip out of Texas using the Motorhome, I have only driven normal highway and back-roads, no mountains or steep hills etc. Just trying to get an idea of what I may run into for this sort of trip. We've only had the motorhome since May, and have only taken it to the coast and a couple of state parks. So we are still kinda new at this, especially long distance trips. Thanks!
