Traveling with Kids - Family Fun on RV Adventure Vacations
Looking for a family adventure vacation that will help your children
develop a lifelong appreciation for the great outdoors? An RV vacation
is
adventuresome,
inspiring and flexible. Feel free to linger among natural wonders
that will mesmerize your children. And, unlike other tourists, you'll
never wait in line for a snack or the bathroom!
Renting an RV is ALL ABOUT traveling with kids. Dig for dinosaur bones. Ride
on steam trains. Wade in streams. Peer into huge canyons. Drive a Jeep along
a rough road. Build campfires and roast marshmallows. Even jaded teenagers will
be telling their friends about this cool summer family vacation.
If your children are very young, a compact, lightweight stroller is a good idea.
Strollers are usually only allowed on well-beaten, paved trails,
so you'll want a high quality backpack carrier for your smaller children.
Who has time to plan a vacation? It seems so big and so far away!
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.
