The National Scenic Byways Program is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration. The program is a grass-roots collaborative effort established to help recognize, preserve and enhance selected roads throughout the United States. Since 1992, the National Scenic Byways Program has funded 2,672 projects for state and nationally designated byway routes in 50 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. The U.S. Secretary of Transportation recognizes certain roads as All-American Roads or National Scenic Byways based on one or more archeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational and scenic qualities.
The definition of “scenic” reaches beyond breathtaking vistas. All of America’s Byways® are “scenic”, representing the depth and breadth of scenery in America–natural and man-made panoramas; electrifying neon landscapes; ancient and modern history coming alive; native arts and culture; and scenes of friends, families and strangers sharing their stories.

Wildlife in Arizona
Watching wildlife is one of the most economical recreational activities families can do together. Visitors come to Arizona from around the world to see the diversity of animal species living in the Sonoran desert, the tops of the mountainous sky islands or in the vast northern regions of the Colorado River plateau.

National parks are always a good choice for an RV vacation and the National Park Service website, nps.gov, is a great resource for planning your visit.
For family-friendly campgrounds that offer more activities for kids, check out the KOA and Jellystone Park web sites. While features at individual locations will vary, it’s not hard to find a campsite that has a place for kids to swim or do crafts, or for the whole family to watch a movie under the stars .
Destination campgrounds usually have a swimming pool and planned activities to keep the whole family busy. Many also have Wi-Fi access, if you need to stay connected.
At popular family destinations, it’s best to make your campsite reservation early. In some cases, as much as two to three months in advance. On holiday weekends in particular, campgrounds fill up quickly.
If you’re looking for trips that will require only one tank of gas, check out the Woodall’s One Tank Trip 2009 feature. This informative source describes short-distance trips in the U.S. and Canada. You will have to become a member of the site, but membership is free.
Another RV camping website is GoCampingAmerica, maintained by the National Association of RV Parks & Campgrounds.
