Mid-week would seem the best option with this park being so close to Vegas. Also boondocking available outside the park.

It is so much fun to hike and climb right out of you motorhome. We've stayed twice in #32, a perfect site! You can call ahead to the camp host to see if there are openings before making the trip out. But if you plan to go during the week, there doesn't seem to be a problem. <br /><br />So glad you got to see this amazing place in person:) Great photos and I love the header:)John and Pam (ohtheplacestheygo.wordpress.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10853924678665624403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-48840458711034508742016-04-15T18:25:22.405-07:002016-04-15T18:25:22.405-07:00Thanks Steve, we couldn't believe nature put a...Thanks Steve, we couldn't believe nature put all that together :-)))Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-25800473021621235662016-04-15T18:23:47.272-07:002016-04-15T18:23:47.272-07:00Thanks :-) We wore out "wow" so fast :-)...Thanks :-) We wore out "wow" so fast :-)Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-18160243003506765802016-04-15T18:23:18.940-07:002016-04-15T18:23:18.940-07:00Those little cabins have corner fireplaces too!

The colors in your pictures are spectacular. How wonderful that you were there for flowers in bloom too. Icing on the cake. I can hardly wait to be able to spend days hiking there. What an amazing landscape. I sure hope that coming on say a Tuesday might up the chances that you would get a site and not have to double back 40 miles. Whew..........in a big rig that would be a bummer. Wouldn't it have been more than terrific to have been able to stay in one of the CCC Cabins? WOW!
