By definition Snowbirds travel to warmer climates in winter. Therefore most of us think of the seasonal southern migration. That early winter RV trek doesn’t need to be a long trip. Now that you are settled into your warm winter digs; it is time to plan for summer. Finding a cool summer RV retreat might be closer than you think! Think Elevation!Arizona is a great example of all staying in a comfortable environment all year-around with little travel. I call it Intrastate Snowbirding.
Left is an example of cool AZ summertime retreat. On the right is great winter playground only a few hundred miles distant. In some locations the distance can be as little 50 miles from desert floor to mountain streams with elevation changes of 4,000 feet or more. An elevation change of 4,000 feet can dramatically change both temperature and rainfall.
There are several southern USA states featuring several combinations of surf, desert and mountain climates. Reverse your logic and think traveling to a cooler climate in the summer and you might find new exciting RV destinations to visit.
Until the next post: Remember you can’t change the weather. However your RV is on wheels; you can change the climate!
