Start your Verde Valley adventures from Rain Spirit RV Resort. Here are 5 great reasons to enjoy Verde Valley, located between Phoenix and the Grand Canyon, for any season.
Reason 1 – Explore nearby cities like Sedona, Camp Verde, Jerome
Sedona is famous for the lovely red rock buttes and canyons, but that’s just the start. Visitors explore the many spas, shops and art galleries with lovely works from local artists and those from further abroad. Inspiration abounds from the Chapel of the Holy Cross to meditation sites. Explore the Ghost Town of Jerome, once known as the wickedest town in the west. Take a haunted tour with a noted historian, enjoy a glass of boutique wine with lunch or dinner atop the mountain and dine overlooking some of the prettiest views you’ll ever see. Camp Verde presents a taste of the Old West with historic sites, Cliff Castle Casino and the Out of Africa Wild Animal Park – there’s something for everyone.

Reason 2 – Get Physical
Explore the Sycamore Canyon with your off-road vehicle or motorcycle. Rain Spirit RV Resort overlooks the canyon, with miles and miles of trails. If hiking is your interest, you’ll find trails for every level of fitness. If you’re looking for simple hikes, you’ll find trails like the Big Park Loop Trail or Deadman’s Pass, but if you’re looking for something more challenging vertically or longer, there are plenty of choices with miles of hiking trails throughout the valley. If biking is your preference you’ll find more miles than you’d expect in the Verde Valley. Mountain bikers have over 200 trail choices. Ready for the water? From rafting to kayaking and fishing to swimming, there is fun to be had for all ages on the Verde River. Explore it on your own or book a rafting or kayaking trip.

Reason 4 – Be a Snowbird
