We got a crazy idea to camp at Yellowstone Park over the summer. In an effort to try and determine the best method(the least expensive) we tried tent camping at Kartchner Caverns. A State Park that has modernized camp-sites and all the facilities.
The caverns and the tour were fabulous. The hiking trail is worth the time but take adequate water and wear the proper foot wear, the trail is not nearly as well marked as represented. The west side's back trail makes one wonder if you got off trail and are going to be on the nightly news. You do get magnificent views.
The campsite was very well maintained and the facilities were fabulous. Shower facilities, dishwashing station and bathroom facilities. Even tent camping allows you to feel refreshed.
The weather was not as cooperative as anticipated. A storm decided to roll in unbenounced to the weathermen. Wind and rain were the tone for the drive down and wind and cold greeted us while trying to set up camp. Gerald broke the screen that was going to be set up to cover the cooking area. It was quite the learning curve for us girls. Even with all the challenges, our camp cook provided great meals.
Our determination of this trip was we needed to spend some money!We decided that a travel trailer was definitely going to be acquired before the trip to Yellowstone.
