Beaches or Mountains: Travel Trailers Make for a Perfect Winter Escape

Blues breaks and spring breaks are upon us and what better way to take a vacation than in a travel trailer? Vacations have been the topic of many psychological studies that prove healing benefits on the body, mind and relationships. Humans need breaks from work to remain productive and improve imagination. So head out in the travel trailer for a break from ordinary life.

Colorado has winter sports for every family. No matter how extreme you want to be, there's something for everyone. If you'd rather sit back and be pampered, Colorado offers spas, natural hot springs and more. Want to see it all in one trip? The travel trailer is one of the best ways to experience Colorado.

The landscape varies from hills to mountains, cities to towns. Food and drink are made locally, with some of the best beers in the country and cuisine to match. If you're on the hunt for the perfect snow conditions, then the travel trailer is the ideal way to jump from resort to resort to check out the best of Colorado.

Aspen is known for catering to the rich and famous, but they also host the X-Games, have great food and an eclectic mix of people. Vail and Breckenridge sit right on the I-70 corridor and boast convenient skiing, incredible dining and enormous peaks. Steamboat Springs, CO breeds Olympians; it's in the frozen water. Mt. Werner's terrain is perfect for beginners and experts alike.

Tired of seeing cloudy skies, head to California. Sunshine is on the menu every day. The landscape is dramatic in different ways from Colorado with hillsides covered in flowers, redwoods reaching up to the sky and an ocean that brings a salty sweetness to the senses.

From north to south, you can ski and surf in a single day. Yosemite National Park is open for skiing with minimal amenities and minimal crowds. Heading down the coast just outside of Santa Barbara, Carpinteria epitomizes relaxation with great restaurants, beaches and trails where dogs and children can run. At the southern end of California, theme parks entertain kids and adults alike. Bars, every type of food and enough eye candy for a lifetime await.

If the ocean calls, be sure to stop at Big Sur for a surf lesson and hours of floating on waves. Joshua Tree offers some of the best warm weather winter climbing available.

Travel trailers are your means for finding the perfect winter break for you and the family. Hitch yours up and decide whether you want to head out to California or Colorado for the experience of a lifetime. From extreme sports, to extreme relaxation, there's something for everyone.
