Trip with a 9 year old.
This year we are having a visit from our 9 year old grand-daughter (we live in SW British Columbia, she lives in Denver Co). She will be escorted up here the beginning of June by her father who will leave her with us while he returns home. She will stay with us until mid June when we will transport her back in our Travel Trailer. We plan on stopping along the way. We only have two weeks for the trailer trip, including return travel.
Pre-Covid we took her to an RV park in Colorado Springs and she was fascinated by the caverns. It is my intention to hit some caves enroute to Denver and I am thinking Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park. She also has been collecting Ranger badges, so Yellowstone is also likely. So the, preliminary, route will be I-5 to I-90 then east to the Whitehall Montana area, then south through Yellowstone and onward.
Keeping the above in mind, I am asking for input on the following:
- Is Lewis and Clark State Park campgrounds a good place to RV a couple days, or is there a preferred place within easy distance of the caverns? We usually stay in private RV parks that are above average, clean and well maintained (even though we have a small-ish shower, we usually use the shower facilities within the park).
- any suggestions for other interesting places to stay and/or visit along this general route?
Due to the distance between our respective homes, we only get to be together a few, or less, times a year, so I am wanting this trip to be the best we can make it.
All info/advice is much appreciated,
Marv
