- Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
If you’ve never seen the Grand Canyon, now would be the perfect time! This national park is easily one of the most breathtaking of them all. The vastness and beauty of the canyon simply cannot be put into words. The Grand Canyon’s warmer temperatures allow for year-round camping and exploring. Choose between visiting the North Rim or the South Rim. The North Rim is more remote and only open from May – October due to the cooler weather. This side of the canyon is for the adventurer who wants to be away from the crowds. The South Rim is more heavily trafficked of the two options. Open year-round, the Grand Canyon is home to historic lodges, museums, many hiking trails and other attractions.

- Zion National Park/ Moab, Utah.
Located in the Southwestern corner of Utah near the Nevada and Arizona borders, Zion National Park is a convenient stop for those visiting Salt Lake City, Las Vegas or Grand Canyon National Park area. The highlight of Zion National Park is an expansive canyon averaging 2,000 feet deep. Zion Canyon offers many hiking opportunities for all different levels. There’s the 20 to 30 foot wide area known as The Narrows or the challenging area known as The Subway. And if you’re ultra-experienced, you’ll love one of the scariest hikes in America called Angels Landing.
But the best reason to visit Zion is its neighboring park, Moab. This very popular destination is a great option for canyoneering, hiking, river rafting, biking, motorcycling, ATV riding, and 4×4 driving. The Moab area is home to many easy to difficult off-road trails for novice to experienced off-roaders.
Tips for RV’ers
If you’re an RV’er or overlander eager to get back on the road, we recommend practicing social distancing. This includes even if you are inside gas stations, convenience stores or visiting the camp you stay at overnight. Using a VIAIR compressor will help ensure your tires are properly inflated to keep you safe and avoid being stranded with a flat tire on the side of the road. Take a look our new line of RV-Safe portable tire inflators specifically designed for RV or overlanding tires to make sure you’re covered wherever you decide to travel this summer.
