Road Trip Input

[Meaney77]

With all of the craziness going on in the world, I was thinking about throwing the wife and kids in the motorhome and going on a road trip somewhere- just not sure where. We have already done 3 week long trips to the river since the start of all of the "pandemic" and are heading back to the river for 10 days at the end of this month.

I am working remote and the kids are doing distant learning now seems like the perfect time to go on a road trip somewhere. Just not sure where to go and what is open (camp grounds and sight seeing)

Thinking northern CA, OR, WA, ID, AZ, NV, UT, etc...

Any input?

I would think Idaho, Utah would be the most open right now. Fuck all the commie states of the west coast. Elevation and cooler weather would be a change of pace and scenery for the kids since you will be at river regularly. Definitely call any campgrounds you are interested in as some have very limited amenities right now.

If Cali is acceptable; Burney Falls is pretty cool. Headwaters of the Fall river. A huge spring, walk behind the falls and you can look down into the spring and see the crystal clear water springing up and flow over the edge. Trip.

Sunrise from the top of Mt. Lassen is a memorable event as well. Trail up is a freeway to the top. Head back down 395. Safe Travels and have Fun!!

not sure where your starting point is as that may be a factor.

but for me, Utah would be the "bang for the buck" as this rioting BS has hardly touched up there and there are numerous cool places to visit....Zion, Brice, Moab, Arches and more.

i didnt mention powell.....the holy grail of west coast boating....in utah as well

I would head north to Mendocino, maybe take the kids on the "skunk train" through through the forest. Then head up to the Oregon coast, Bandon area then into Bend for some river and brewery action. Either way, take your time and enjoy it.

I went up to Lake Tahoe last August Weather was perfect and water was warm and crystal blue! Then stopped at Bodie the Ghost town on the way back off the 395. Fun little road trip

This would be a cool trip, Head up through Utah and finish on the western slope of the rockies. Maybe spend a few days near grand junction and then head south through Durango, Mesa Verde National Park and four corners and take that route home.

Idaho is Beautiful right now. Get way up into the pan handle (Coeur d'alene or Pend Oreille). Hang a bit on the lakes and then cross the boarder to Banf (If the boarder is open right now). If not head east from there and hit south end of glacier national park and northern Montana.

You selfish prick, you know how many people you’ve endangered! Insane.
I agree with panhandle of Idaho, Lake Pend Orielle/Sandpoint, then drop back down through Montana,(Flathead Lake), Wyoming and across Utah. I’m envious as hell.

It was beautiful yesterday, we were at Silver strand. Thought it would have been busier down there than it was.

Awe shoot man, I'm just across the channel on Hollywood Beach. You ever head up on a weekend let me know.

My recent experience is its challenging to find any reservable places in California. There is much pent up demand to travel but with COVID its hard to find places that have open reservable sites.

This is putting pressure on adjacent states. Hard to find campsites in Arizona, Nevada, etc, as Californians are forced to go into these other states. Plus no one is flying or staying in hotels yet

It was funny to see a handful of people still walking around the beach with masks on- Like COVID is still a thing....!

Destinations you mentioned above is what I am leaning towards., hoping we can make this happen!

I called a few campgrounds this morning and they informed me they were open for "essential travel" and make you sign a waiver before entering. Also sounded like you were limited to a night which wouldnt be a bad thing for a road trip.

 

[Universal Elements]

A lot of campgrounds in Utah are fully booked.

 

[Xtrmwakeboarder]

Trying to do the same, but this still CV crap is hamstringing the hell out of me.
