Summer RV'ing in the Southwest
Hello all. First post, and would greatly appreciate any input as to a trip to Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico this summer. I prefer traveling on the fly, seeing what there is and going where the mood...

Welcome to the Southwest! Well, CO is not really Southwest as such but close! :-)
That being said....... don't know how much time you have but that is a lot of beautiful country to cover. We lived in CO 8 years and now in AZ for over 11. You could spend 6 months in those three states.
I am a reservation guy but AZ will typically not be crowded in the summer - it gets hot (but not humid like FL!). On the other hand we have lots of mountains so they are cooler (like Grand Canyon).
High tourist areas will be pretty well booked on weekends; and some, like the Grand Canyon, even mid week. And many places are not packed with RV parks / campgrounds.
If you had time I would venture some into UT - but would NOT recommend Zion River Resort in Virgin (stay in Sprindale); very pretty and all but some ethics issues.
