Where are you going in 2026?

On my trips to Yellowstone and Grand Teton I always bring enough clothes to only need to do laundry once. I like doing laundry at Colter Bay. But I actually prefer driving to Signal Mountain for their showers. They are much bigger than Colter Bay and are completely private with a lockable door. I highly recommend them.

I was only at Capital Reef once and that was just to drive there for a day. Fruita looked like a nice campground but it's pretty hard to book from what I understand.

You couldn’t book ahead at Fruita when we went there. My crazy story from that trip was one morning an elderly woman came out of her tent about 8:00 am or so wearing nothing but a negligee. When she went in the bathbathouse, the whole campground was giggling & shaking our heads.

At Bridge Bay, we got to watch the campsite across the road have a fight over a pistol. They were doing Fireball Shots. Two of them were trying to get the revolver away from the third person. No idea if it was loaded, luckily it didn’t fire if it was. I snuck over to the campground host and called for a Ranger.

I was at Capital Reef in the fall and I just remember they had something going on where you could pick your own apples from trees near the campground if I remember right. They even supplied poles for reaching and snagging the apples. Wish I could remember the story behind that.

Here's a random photo from that trip.

Apricots were ripe when we there.

Our campsite backed up to the apple orchard. It was June and the deer would be in there in the morning.
