Had a great sleep and was up at 6am…yes you read right 6am and was in the park by 6.30am the gates are open and staffed 24 hours a day and it was only a few minutes before I saw my first glimpse of wildlife!!

The weather changed in the late afternoon as I approached the Canyon Campground plus the altitude here is over 7900 feet

Ramona all settled in there is still snow behind her..I am booked here for 2 nights this is a huge campground there are showers, laundry and a dump and water station, also rest rooms….. cost 21 dollars per night.

So it was just a wonderful day I think the plan and route that I took was a good one and I hope tomorrow that I can do two serious hikes.

The usual tonight, shower, dinner movie and tea…life is not all that bad!!
