Re: RV travel to Canada
Wonderful RVing in Canada--certainly the border crossing needs to be considered as advised appropriately in these replies--but our experience crossing and travels all the way to Newfoundland & Labrador as well as central and western Canada have been worth the minor time at the crossing.671Views0likes0CommentsTunnel into Zion--how difficult or alternative?
At Zion National Park, we note that vehicles over 7'10" wide or 11'4" high have to pay fee (still $15?) and get escort through tunnel. We are in that category. Can someone with the experience tell us what is involved--how difficult it is? Is there an alternative? We will be driving in from southeast of Zion.2.1KViews0likes8CommentsRe: San Antonio to Tucson
Really helpful suggestions. We have reservations for the American RV park noted in Albuquerque for a portion of second week of balloon festival. Thanks also for the tip regarding freezing in Williams early October. We don't have all our itinerary firmed up yet due to some key info we hope to get from family who may meet us along the way and have very restricted schedule, but hope to get that this weekend. We're much more flexible so have two general plans identified, one which would put us in AZ & Grand Canyon area before the balloon festival and one which puts us at balloon festival first. So, we don't know if we'll do San Antonio/Tucson on east or westbound but definitely one or the other. Appreciate all the info and suggestions from others..953Views0likes0CommentsSan Antonio to Tucson
We will be traveling first time to see southwest this fall, taking the more northern route--roughly along Route 40 through Amarillo and Albuquerque. We plan to head east from Tucson and want to return through San Antonio. We are not sure best routes between those two cities especially considering so many issues along the southern U.S. border. We have visited border towns and Mexico from eastern TX so are not planning to go into Mexico this trip. Even if we stopover in El Paso, should we then head east toward those scenic mountains, not I-10, and then some route southeast to San Antonio? Will appreciate info from those of you who know that area well.3.3KViews0likes11CommentsRe: Reservations in October in southwest--AZ, TX, OK, NM?
Thanks for all the information, which is really helpful. We plan generally and then will be flexible according to weather and other factors, like finding something which makes us want to explore more or just take a day to rest and do laundry, so it looks like we'll be ok not to make reservations in advance.474Views0likes0CommentsReservations in October in southwest--AZ, TX, OK, NM?
We're planning our first trip to the southwest--TX, OK, especially AZ & NM. We've made park reservations for a portion of time for balloon festival at Albuquerque and at Grand Canyon but wondering if the other popular places will require advance reservations? Our typical plan is to make reservations at national parks and special events but just call ahead on day of travel or day before expected arrival for most. Will that work in October in these states? Also appreciate any suggestions for those areas at that time.2.5KViews0likes10Comments
