Beat the Winter Blues with a Travel Trailer Vacation
While the winter months slowly roll by the thoughts of vacations tend towards the spring or summer. However, winter breaks are exactly what we all need to keep us rejuvenated and productive. While the December holidays are over, there are still quite a few months of winter perfect for playing. Take the time for a travel trailer vacation and your relationships and work performance will benefit.
If you’re looking for a snow-filled adventure, Colorado is the place for you. Huge mountains erupt from the landscape, offering extreme backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and rock climbing. Some resorts are geared for family-friendly entertainment, while others cater to the single life.
Colorado offers red-rocks, cliffs and more than its fair share of fourteeners that are perfect for a snowshoe up and a ski down. Local flavors of food range from down home BBQ to elegant takes on the American diet including local elk, deer and buffalo. If one town doesn’t suit you, hitch up the travel trailer and move on to the next.
Home to the most recent Olympic trials, Steamboat Springs, CO has produced more than its fair share of Olympians who ski the runs on Mt. Werner. See how you stack up against some of the world’s best winter athletes. The I-70 corridor puts Vail, Copper and Breckenridge all within close range of each other, but with very different styles. Vail, known for a more upscale experience is only a short drive from Breckenridge, where the feeling is a lot more relaxed.
If the thought of more snow makes you shiver, then head out to California, where the sun’s always shining somewhere. Warm temperatures invite long walks on the beach, views of the ocean from travel trailer campgrounds. Sit with your toes in the Klamath River, while your dinner cooks a few feet away.
From the rich and famous to beach bums there’s a town that suits every personality. Dana Point’s Four Seasons offers cocktails the as sun sets on the horizon. Carpinteria, not far from Santa Barbara, is set up for small town relaxation, where time seems to stop. Southern California is a playground within itself.
Big Sur is known around the world for surfing. If you’d rather test your abilities at rock climbing, then head to Joshua Tree for ideal year-round climbing conditions.
Whether you’re looking to enjoy the winter weather while it’s still here, or you’re ready for summer, California and Colorado offer the best of both worlds. Strap on the skis or snowboard and let the world pass you in a blur, or kick off your shoes and let the ocean lap at your toes. Your travel trailer is the perfect companion for any winter get-away.
