Yea, they definitely had our dogs attention. :o

If you're in Colorado, be sure to enjoy the Colorado National Monument in Grand Junction, then Moab with Arches and onto Canyonlands National Park. With our mild Winter, we got going on your crazy not to hit the local parks enroute to GCNP. Enjoy this time of year, the winter is so much different than back East, you can camp all year.

Howcome our right to S**T at campgrounds become Capital issue?

If you decide to do the Skywalk which is in driving distance of Vegas there are couple no hookup campgrounds in Lake Mead Rec Area.

Nice flush toilets. Las Vegas Bay would be the closest. 10 bucks a night with a Geezer pass. I spent a few nights there a couple weeks ago. They were open even with the governent shutdown but toilets locked but dump stations open. When government opened back up toilets were back open.

We stayed in Grand Canyon last year in Early Feb. We ended up staying in the "rv" style campground. The smaller Mather campground was open but only a few spots were plowed and none could accommodate our TC. We ended up staying at the "trailer village" campground while they were in the process of plowing spots. I would call the park and see what the snow conditions might be. Other than that we lucked out with 2 clear sunny days which took the chill off. Very few park visitors which was awesome. Definitely would do this again.

Here is a shot from the campground with some wildlife.

Did you check the Skywalk accommodations?
Its been few years since I was there, but don't recall them having RV park and few miles of gravel road is not making good trip.
Years ago I took my SUV there and one of the rocks punched 3" round hole in my tire.
I know Indians keep improving everything, so it could change.

I'm on my way, stopped in Colorado for the night. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to go to Grand Canyon Village, or go to the Skywalk.

I stayed at Mather in 2012. My rig was much longer than their 30' size limit, and I fit in a pull through very nicely... and was also able to park my Jeep TJ behind the truck and trailer.

Mather generator hours:
7–9 am and 6–8 pm.
