Okanagan Valley
Did you know that Canada has a desert? 🌵The Okanagan Valley in British Columbia offers a unique landscape of arid hills, endless vineyards and stunning lakes, making it a year-round playground just north of the U.S. border. While Banff and Lake Louise may get most of the attention, the Okanagan is a great alternative with its mild climate, beautiful lakes, world-renowned wineries, fruit orchards and unbeatable outdoor adventures. ☀️
In winter, the Okanagan transforms into a snowy paradise with incredible champagne-powder skiing at resorts like Ski Big White, Apex Mountain Resort and SilverStar Mountain Resort, as well as scenic winter hikes through pine forests and along frozen lakes. ❄️
Stay at Holiday Park Resort all year round, or make the trip during the dry, arid summers and enjoy River Haven RV Park and Summit RV Resort. 🚐

For a spooky adventure this Halloween, explore California’s High Desert, where strange sightings and eerie legends await. 🌵
Start in Joshua Tree National Park, where the legendary Yucca Man, a towering cryptid, is said to haunt remote trails under the cover of night. Locals claim he’s been terrifying campers for decades—so keep your eyes open as you wander the desert.
Next, head to the Integratron, a 16-sided dome built by George Van Tassel in 1954. Van Tassel claimed he received its design from Venusians, unlocking the secrets of time travel and eternal youth. Today, it's a hub for sound baths, but visitors say the energy still feels otherworldly. 🛸
After the Integratron, stop by Pioneertown, a nearby Old West-style town originally built in the 1940s as a Hollywood movie set. But don't let the quaint charm fool you—locals tell stories of strange apparitions roaming the dusty streets, including the ghost of an outlaw who met a grisly end. At night, the wind seems to carry echoes of gunfights and barroom brawls, long after the actors and cameras have left.
Finally, visit Giant Rock, a massive boulder and UFO hotspot. Strange lights often flash in the sky here, and many believe the area holds a sacred, mystical energy.
✨Pack your sage and set your GPS to one of the most haunted places in the California desert!

Headed to Pismo Beach soon? Don’t sleep on Monarch Butterfly Grove. 🦋 Bop around town, hit the beach and explore one of the city’s most coveted outposts:
Every winter, from October to February, the Monarch Butterfly Grove becomes a vibrant sanctuary for thousands of migrating monarchs. Nestled among towering eucalyptus trees, this peaceful spot along California’s central coast offers a rare opportunity to witness one of nature’s most beautiful migrations.
For decades, monarchs have traveled up to 3,000 miles from as far as Canada to escape the cold and rest here. The Pismo Beach grove is one of the largest overwintering sites in the country, offering a safe haven for these delicate creatures as they cluster together for warmth. 🌿
Take a stroll through the grove’s walking paths, where you can see the monarchs up close, learn about their migration journey, and discover how conservation efforts continue to protect this incredible species.
A visit to the Monarch Butterfly Grove isn’t just a stop on your road trip—it’s a chance to connect with the magic of nature and witness an awe-inspiring piece of history.
