The best spring sights and stops for RVers will have you making your way outdoors as soon as you can. Flowers are blooming and wildlife are waking up from their slumber. With so many options and places to go, where should you find yourself this Spring? Here are a few of my favorite things to see and do in the springtime that RVers like you will love, too.

Witness Panoramic Views in Idaho.
Idaho is not always the first state you think about visiting in the Spring, but you’ll miss out on some of the most unique experiences if you pass it by. Idaho is known as the Land of Potatoes, but it’s much more than farmland. Here you’ll find an abundance of hot springs, mountains, lakes, and flowers. You can visit waterfalls and breweries all in the same day. Idaho is a nature lover’s paradise in the Spring.

Prepare for Summer in Washington.
Although rainy most days of the year, Washington is home to pre-summer and Summer celebrations that bring visitors from miles around. Most towns in Washington are very walkable, but also have tons of things to do outside of town that give you a sense of adventure and inspiration. If you find yourself in this area in the Spring, be sure to look at each city’s online calendars to see what festivals and carnivals may be in town like the Wanderlust festival or Washington State Spring Fair. For a Spring celebration you won’t experience anywhere else, set your course for Washington.
