Take It Easy

We started Tracks & Trails after seeing so many road-weary people stumbling into a campground or hotel at the end of yet another 10-hour day behind the wheel. Why hurry? This is your vacation! Our itineraries set the right pace then show you how to make the most of your time.

Thinking of driving cross-country? Don’t - unless you have several weeks to spend. We suggest you should start your road trip as close to the action as possible. Yes, airline tickets can be expensive, but you'll avoid additional fuel costs and excess mileage charges, and you'll double the amount of real vacationing in your vacation. Too many people compromise their trips out West by using up their time and energy before they get here. We don't want you to make that mistake.

 

When you're traveling in an RV, an average of 150 miles per day (or less) is plenty. Out here, you don't have to go any further to discover another breathtaking place worth staying for a couple of days. If you only have a week, it's better to really get to know the area around Zion National Park than it is to start in Denver, roar over the Rocky Mountains, skim over Mesa Verde, fly through southern Utah, stick your head over the rim at the Grand Canyon, and whiz across Hoover Dam before collapsing in Las Vegas. Really. It is.
