At Mesa Verde, we camped at the park, did laundry, and drove around with our iPads out looking for which campsites were in line with the wi-fi antenna.
We have not had that luxury anywhere else.
We visited the lodge for a ranger talk and sat on the terrace and enjoyed the view.
At the top of the nearest viewing point, the kids got abducted by aliens.
Not really. The National Park campgrounds are mostly booked six months out, so we go into the National Forests. Tristan has made himself a lean-to with a screen of aspen. We would not be allowed to chop firewood and make useful things in the parks.
And school goes on, so here we are huddled around the campfire with iPads.
My pictures did not capture the vastness and grandeur.
The east rim at sunrise was quite chilly. The elevation is above 8000 feet. We took some oatmeal and hiked down a bit.
Things warm up quickly when the sun comes up, from 38 to 72. It was good practice for Wyoming and Montana yet to come.
