DENVER—So you’ve packed the RV with road trip essentials and your kids’ favorite snacks for the drive. Where to? Well, if you really want to wow the little ones, head to Salida, Colorado.
That advice comes courtesy of RV Trader, which recently culled a list of five RV'ing destinations that will “blow your kids’ minds.” The site offers RV reviews and shopping advice, and features a commerce platform with vehicles for sale.
According to story author and mom of two Olivia de Soria, Salida offers all the activities an RVing family could want in surplus, from biking trails and trout fishing to historical tours and wildlife.
“We saw more wildlife here than anywhere else. The trout fishing is world class. The walking and biking paths in Salida go on forever. If you wanted to, you could bike or run from one town to the next on a protected paved path shared with the occasional billy goat, bighorn sheep or mule deer,” de Soria wrote.
The ghost towns nearby are a bonus, she added.
Turns out, there are a lot of family-friendly RV spots in the Southwest U.S. The story recommended Salida alongside Dead Horse Point and Goose Island Campground in Utah, Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, and Morro Bay in California.
