Bison blocking traffic in Yellowstone National Park.
It's National Park Week!
National Park Week started on Saturday, April 20 and goes through Sunday, April 28. Take a look at all the events and activities going on in our National Parks. From recognizing National Park volunteers and staff to learning about innovative projects and art in the Parks, this week is about celebrating it ALL!
With more than 400 National Parks of different shapes, sizes, and naming designations (not all are named "National Park!") we're sure you'll find more than one you want to visit.
This year's Escapade is in Wyoming, where you can visit Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park during your trip before or after Escapade. Even Fossil Butte National Monument is only just over an hour from where we'll be staying at the Sweetwater Events Center in Rock Springs. Natural history buffs can see the multitude of fish, mammal, reptile, and plant
fossils found in ancient Fossil Lake.
We hope the 63rd Escapade and National Parks are part of your travels this summer!

It is that time of year again and we are taking TWO lucky groups of Xscapers to the 2024 Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta! If you haven’t been before, it is a must-see event for any RVer and it holds a special place in our hearts since it’s where the very first Xscapers Convergence took place!
There is nothing quite as beautiful as waking up in the morning and seeing hundreds of hot air balloons fly above your RV or get up and take the walk to the launch field surrounded by balloons as they begin their ascent. There is usually the opportunity to help crew for the balloon pilots so join us and get this one checked off your bucket list!
Tickets go on sale May 8, 2024 at 11 AM Central!
