Western national park trip

at Monumnent Valley we stayed at Goulding's Lodge. Reservations strongly suggested.

when touring the valley you'll have two choices...guided and on-your-own. we had a much better time doing it on our own.

Moab Utah is between Arches & Canyonlands, we stayed at Portal RV Resort and Campground last fall. Great place. There are several other campgrounds and also BLM campsites available.

We stayed at Mesa Verde RV Resort (US Hwy 160, Mancos, CO) when visiting Mesa Verde. Good Sam rates it a 10 which maybe stretching it some. Supposed to be the nicest in area.

I suggest you look into a Thousand Trails Zone pass for the western Zone. We did a similar trip and found the membership paid for itself many times over. When we bought, we got a two zone for one price and included the two zones we were going to spend the most time in. Many of these parks are located within driving distance of the National parks mentioned. The deal is that you get 30 nights free, then you pay $3.00 a night. There are some restrictions about how long you can stay in each park but we were able to work with this with little problem.
