Our first destination is Colorado. We are planning to leave Georgia early April. . . . should we just bookit straight to CO? Thx!
I'd take a little time getting here. Early April in CO can be middle of winter in the mountains.
Some places to consider on the way out:
The Ouachita Mountains. Early to mid-April is a delightful time to visit there. Plenty of lakes to camp around, caves to explore, Hot Springs, scenic drives (e.g. Talimena). Visit Eureka Springs, the Crystal Bridges Art Museum in Bentonville, Pea Ridge NMP.
How about Big Bend in western TX? Big park with lots to see and do. Flowers might be out when you get there. On the way, stop in San Antonio to see the missions, eat BBQ, see the Bluebonnets. From Big Bend, head north and stop at Carlsbad Caverns, well worth a day of your time.
Spend some time exploring the Mississippi River. Once you reach the river from GA, head north or south and you'll find interesting towns and history all along the way. New Orleans isn't necessarily someplace to head with an RV, but a great place to visit if you camp outside and day trip into the city.
There are a variety of Civil War battlefields to visit along the way. Vickburg?
One way to find interesting stops is to visit the
National Park Service website. Pick a state or pick a topic and see what lies along the way. Many NPS sites may not be as well known as Yosemite or Yellowstone, but we've found most to have something interesting to see or explore.
If you have a couple of weeks to get to CO, I'd explore some of the places in between.
