Scottish family rving for first time
Hi all we hope to fly to Vegas at the beginning of July and spend two days in Vegas before picking up our hired RV .....so far we have decided to spend the first night at area 51 and the next morning ...

How far you can get depends on how much you stop to see the areas because that obviously reduces your driving time. I’m guessing that the loop you’re looking at is approaching 3000 miles and if you spend half of your days traveling and half sightseeing you’re probably covering about 200 miles a day average. Some days you can do better, one long, hard day’s drive could get you to Twin Falls from Las Vegas, it’s about 500 miles.
If I were making that trip I’d use “MS Streets and Trips” or one of the online sites to plan where I wanted to go and how long I wanted to stay. Typically, it would run over the time I had so I’d have to adjust where I went or how long I stayed until I found something workable.
If you’re going to Twin Falls you’d be remiss not to go to Yellowstone and the Tetons. You wouldn’t be able to spend much time there, but you could get a taste of it. July is prime time, though, and depending how big your RV is you’ll likely need to make an advance reservation to camp there. There are some commercial cg’s outside the park but I’ve never used them and don’t know if you’d need reservations.
If you like caves and come through northern AZ check out the Lava River Cave. It’s on hwy 180, the road from Flagstaff to Grand Canyon. It’s about ¾ mile long and colder than a well diggers behind even in summer. Not for the claustrophobic, though. Have a great trip, I’ve traveled all over the west with my two granddaughters and they are really fond memories.
