Planning Tips

  1. In warmer months, I recommend staying at a Forest Service campground at the higher elevations. (Almost all federal campgrounds can be reserved 6 months in advance).

  2. If traveling from the east, this can easily be a stop on your way to Yellowstone or other points west.

  3. Sheridan, Wyoming is the the closest large municipality for service and entertainment options.
