After departing Yampa River SP, we head almost directly north to our first stop for 1 night at Western Hills RV in Rawlins, WY. The park is well laid out, mostly gravel, with nice facilities and a pleasant and accommodating staff. They moved my reservation when I apparently selected the wrong day on their reservation system with no “change” fees. However, we ended up in an “electric only” site. Water is $3 and dump is $3 for these sites. WiFi (from site #60) runs along at nearly 30Mb down and 6Mb up.
While in Rawlins we selected the #1 Mexican Food restaurant according to Yelp, Rose’s Lariat. A true diner, Rose’s offers great food at reasonable prices.
From Rawlins we’re headed to Thermopolis and the Eagle RV Park. It’s a beautiful drive through the Wind River Canyon before arriving here. We’re parked in site #13, a very shady and large end site. We last visited Eagle RV back in 2013 and had a wonderful stay. We’re happy to report the staff and services are still great. We’d come back!
After 2 nights in Thermopolis, we’re off to Absaroka Bay RV in Cody, WY. We tried to get into Buffalo Bill State Park – but evidently sites here are very busy due to it’s location next to Yellowstone. Absaroka Bay is well maintained, but wow – the sites are tight! Not just side to side, but also front to back. With nearly all pull-throughs, the narrow roadways mean parking tow vehicles across the front of the sites which can present an arrival or departure challenge. During our 2 night stay in Cody, we explored Buffalo Bill SP and enjoyed fine beers and food at Pat O’Hara Brewing Company.
From here, we’re headed to Livingston, MT for 5 nights – more from Montana!
