RV Rental Oro Grande, CA

Rodman Mountains Wilderness Area is a combination of white mountains, inspiring bajadas, canyon mazes, and eye-catching escarpments. The area is divided in two, from northwest to southeast, by a long mesa formed from a large lava flow. The mountains are a breeding ground for raptors, one of seven in the California desert; golden eagles and prairie falcons also call the area home. Your Oro Grande RV trailer rental is the perfect photography blind from which to capture these magnificent creatures. Park management encourages you to enjoy the area and asks that you help to protect it.

Cleghorn Lakes Wilderness is an undeveloped reserve bearing drastically different environments within a single area. The eastern section is mountainous, rising up to 4,100 feet above sea level and populated by bighorn sheep. The western region is lowland desert with an elevation of 1,400 feet above sea level. Visitors to the desert region will spot desert tortoises, barrel cactus, and smoke trees. The dry Cleghorn Lakes sprout flowers occasionally. There are old tracks you should follow when entering the area, in order to protect the environment. Visitors exploring this area would be well advised to rent a car for this activity.

There is a lot to see and do in and around Oro Grande, both historically and geographically. First and foremost, Oro Grande is a part of the legendary Route 66 and is mentioned in its literature. A good self-guided walking tour could include hunting down famous Route 66 venues (hotels and restaurants) or even taking your Oro Grande motorhome rental for a spin along this hallowed roadway. Folks in Oro Grande are born to improvise and one local landmark is a bottle tree ranch (you won't see this in many other places). The town has a golf course and skate center, art and antique stores, and so much more.

At the end of a long, fun day, there is no better reward than an enjoyable meal shared with your loved ones. Most of the food venues on hand are locally owned and operated, which makes for some very interesting restaurant names (this could even be a game to play with the kids if you have any with you). One Mexican restaurant offers a taco salad with beef, not necessarily an uncommon dish but always enjoyable and well-prepared at this establishment. Be sure to try the fried ice cream for dessert. A popular pizzeria caters to families, has an interesting decor with glass bottle lamps, and large portions for a reasonable price.

Of course, there is always the option of retiring to the kitchen area of your Oro Grande camper rental and throwing something together yourself. Or get takeout to bring back with you. Enjoy an evening meal under a starlit sky, on a restaurant patio deck or on lawn chairs next to your home-on-wheels. What could be better?
