Renting with Cruise America
Cruise America, with its extensive network of rental centers spanning North America, made our reentry into the RV world seamless. With our sights set on Colorado, we browsed through an array of options, ultimately opting for a 25-foot Class C rig.
From the moment we secured our rig, Cruise America supported us with a series of informative emails. Their guidance, from rookie tips to expert insights, coupled with a comprehensive packing list, eased our pre-departure jitters and set the tone for a smooth adventure ahead.

The timely text notifications and direct booking option streamlined the process, granting us access to campsites that would otherwise be difficult to reserve.
Exploring the Wonders the Black Canyon of Gunnison National Park
One of our favorite things to do in an RV is visit National Parks. We've seen many, but have never visited Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. This park was a bit out of the way but well worth the visit. The park's pristine beauty, stunning night skies, awe-inspiring canyons, and abundant wildlife painted a picturesque backdrop for our RV adventure. At our campsite, we were treated to a heartwarming sight – a deer and her fawns gracing us with their presence. The park's accessibility allowed us to fully explore its wonders within a day, making it a must-visit destination.
