The Oak Creek Canyon
scenic drive passes
ponderosa pines on
the way from Flagstaff
to Sedona. In Sedona,
a trip to Red Rock
State Park offers
hiking and biking trails
with lush greenery
and iconic sandstone
formations, while the
nearby Verde Valley
wine trail lends itself
to epicurean explo-
ration. Tree-shaded
Rancho Sedona RV
Park is within walking
distance of shops and
restaurants.

California’s other wine
country, about an hour
outside L.A., San Diego
and Palm Springs,
has 40-plus vineyards
and dozens of dining
options. You’ll also find
the Santa Rosa Plateau
Ecological Reserve,
home to the remains of
adobe houses built by
19th-century Mexican
ranchers. Snowbirds
rave about the spa-
cious, amenity-rich RV
sites at the popular
Pechanga Resort
and Casino. The northern latitude
means extended day-
light hours, especially
in June and July. Bring
your camera to take
advantage of the end-
less ocean-like views:
white-sand beaches
lead into the crystal-
clear water of Alberta’s
third-largest lake.
Or ascend the Marten
Mountain Viewpoint for
excellent bird watch-
ing, then kick back at
the nearby, amenity-
packed Marten River
Campground. Coulees and hoodoos
meet picture-perfect
plains on the Canada-
U.S. border. Keep your
eyes peeled for diverse
prairie wildlife during
your stay at one of two
RV-accessible camp-
grounds. At night, look
to the stars: Grasslands
is one of Canada’s larg-
est Dark Sky Preserves.
Summertime special
events in the park high-
light astronomy and
fossil finding, and don’t
forget the Grasslander
Classic festival! Between Rockies peaks
and Pacific forests
lies this ideal base for
Okanagan Valley road
trippers. Campsites
and RV resorts line the
shores of Kalamalka
Lake, Swan Lake
and the northern tip
of Okanagan Lake,
fabled home of the sea
monster Ogopogo. Or
book an RV campsite at
the circa-1867 O’Keefe
Ranch, with its working
pioneer-style village,
family-run steakhouse
and more.
