Hi everyone, enjoying reading all the posts re. caravan parks. We have just booked a Roadbear C19 to tour for 64 days, picking up and dropping off RV in Vegas. Dates travelling 4th May to the 7th July '12. Plan to do Western US and some of Western Canada. Are we able to buy a Passport America pass, if yes, should we buy it from the first campsite we use? I have downloaded the PA brochure in PDF form. We are a bit concerned about having to prebook places as we like to tour and not be committed to booking ahead for sites. Is this going to be a concern? We do try to avoid busy places as much as possible as we like the peace and quiet of the countryside. Any itinerary ideas would be good and perhaps National parks that are stunning but less visited.
Also looking forward to meeting all you RVers! rolleyes.gif
Look forward to some help.

Movannerz - Know what I have seen in your posts the general route I would suggest is - Vegas - Death Valley - hit the eastern sierra for early season trout should be great that time of year - too early to go north from there or west over to Yosemite - so turn south east to the Grand Canyon and S Utah parks of Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands, Mounument Valley. Do not bother with reservations at any of these places. No worries till school lets out in June and then only worry weekends and in super busy Parks. From Monument Valley go north through Arches Park and then over to Grand Teton and Yellowstone - with your size camper you can stay in Yellowstone do that for sure. Colter Bay RV park is super just south of Yellowstone and into Grand Teton - And just west of Yellowstone you are in fly fishing heaven - Henry's Lake, Madison River, Firehole river (inside Yellowstone) - From there I would go north to Bozeman, Flathead Lake area - Then drive south of Glacier Park to the east side go stay at Many Glacier in Glacier - Then up to Waterton Park just north of the border - stay at RV park in the shadow of the Prince of Wales hotel - one of the World's most scienic spots along with Many Glacier - Then north and into Canadian Rockies and the Icefields Parkway - Over to Vancouver and Victoria - Take ferry south to Olympic Pennisula and by all means fish the wonderful streams and rivers in this area. Stay on Ocean in Washington State - Then drive south along the coast and Just stay the whole way along the wonderful coast route - stop in Oregon several places - jog over to see Crater Lake - go down highway 101 to redwood parks - go back to coast and go through Menacino - go through San Francisco through town and down 101 to 17 and cut over back to the coast - go down hwy 1 through big sur - stay at big Sur - stop at maybe Cambria on the coast - The if you want to see LA go south to it and then east to Vegas.

Sounds like a great time
