Before leaving Mesa, stock up on local produce from the surrounding farms for your trip so you can experience authentic American flavours as well as sights. The first day with your motorhome involves a drive to Sedona, where you’ll be spending the night at Lo Lo Mai Springs Outdoor Resort. Make sure to savour the picturesque Sedona landscapes. Popular attractions include pink jeep tours or the natural waterslides at Slide Creek State Park. Near the campsite, Oak Creek is the ideal spot for swimming, wading and fishing, as well as enjoying the simple joy of the stunning landscapes around you.
After a short 45 mile drive to Flagstaff, the ‘entrance’ to the Grand Canyon, spend your third day of your trip enjoying the natural beauty surrounding Munds Park Campsite. This is the perfect spot to explore the peaceful Coconino National Forest from, as well as enjoying several hiking or mountain biking trails amongst dramatic scenery. Next, it’s off to Mather Campground on the edge of the Grand Canyon National Park. Embrace the breath-taking views of the famed Grand Canyon. Watch the pastel-hued sunsets over the jagged rock faces or unleash your adventurous spirit and explore the Grand Canyon from a new perspective in a helicopter flight.
Then it’s time to head East for just under three hours through more of the Grand Canyon National Park and the Kaibab National Forest towards Cameron. Ensure you make the most of the serene Lake Powell. Why not take a speedboat to the Rainbow Bridge National Monument or visit the mesmerising Antelope Canyon? Next, head to Ruby’s Inn campsite, passing through the idyllic Dixie National Forest on your way. Make the most of the breath-taking Bryce Canyon National Park’s scarlet-coloured rock faces. Enjoy a sunrise or sunset at Bryce Amphitheatre for an unforgettable experience.
Head south on Highway 89 towards Zion National Park. The luscious Zion River Resort is a tranquil place in stark contrast to the vibrant, rugged rock faces of the previous national parks. Enjoy action-packed hikes amongst dramatic cliffs with bright green trees dotted in the valleys by walking or by mule. Spend the next morning in Zion National Park before the next part of your journey to Mesquite. There, check out the historic St George district and see the ghost towns and prehistoric dinosaur footprints.
For your final couple of days with the motorhome, drive to Las Vegas directly on the Interstate 12 or enjoy the more scenic route past Lake Mead and stop off at the ultimate man-made spectacle: Hoover Dam.
