Good morning fellow RVers!! I am looking for some advice for a Summer 2017 Vacation Trip. We typically take two weeks (around the 4th of July weekend). We have traveled quite a bit over the last 5 years so we are looking for something new that doesn't involve days and days of driving to get there... I think 3 out and 3 back is about as far as we want to go this time. We love State and National Parks. We reside in Austin, Texas and have been to the following places:
- Grand Tetons
- Yellowstone
- Rocky Mountain National Park
- Blackhills SD
- Western Colorado (Durango, Ouray, Montrose)
- Carlsbad and Sante Fe
- Big Bend National Park
- Grand Canyon
Are the National Parks in Utah going to be too hot that time of year? We love escaping the Texas heat during July.
With all due respect, for your sanity avoid all those destinations around July 4th. It is a zoo full of... Look for alternative destinations. Of course, those places will be crazy too, but maybe a little less.
Thanks!
