Wow we have this place already on our list it reminds me a lot of Smith Rock State Park in Oregon you would also enjoy. Decker did good our little dogs do well but always get tired at sole point I bet the altitude us rough on them as well. It is so wonderful hearing the back story and amazing it's free. Thanks for sharing the great hikes and beautiful area. That was a grear spot to Stay great tips. Really enjoy watching you thanks for sharing.😊
Yes we have done a couple videos on Smith Rock and we stayed at Crooked River Ranch!! We have you covered all over the PNW Stay in touch we would be happy to help!
We boondocked for 2 weeks near Colorado Springs 2 years ago, here: 39.142577, -105.105071 If you don't mind paying at a FS campground, you can stay at the Painted Rocks CG for $13.50/night with an America the Beautiful NP pass, here: 39.0841, -105.1055
Thank you so much for sharing that for others here. Because we're in a 40ft motorhome, that is pretty tall, we couldn't do those. It's a pain sometimes having a big rig.
@@RoamingWithRosie Our 35ft motorhome fits in those places, but I guess that extra 5ft makes a difference sometimes. The main reason we chose the size MH we did is we love to boondock. In fact, we boondocked 10 months last year all over the Black Hills of SD, WY, Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, etc. Some FS and NP CG's say they have a 32ft limit, but we've stayed in some of those and never had a problem fitting - our back might overhang the pad a little, but it's all good. We recently expanded our solar system with over 5,000 watts of solar and 23.5kwh of batteries (the equivalent of 18, 100ah Battleborns), so we no longer need to plug into a power pedestal anymore, but run everything in our MH, including both A/Cs powered by the sun. We can, and often do, run our heat pump 24/7 providing free heat or cooling as needed. We haven't even needed to run our generator, except to exercise it, in about a year. This gives us lots of camping options we didn't have before. We're FTers who travel around the country a lot, visiting National Parks, and doing the tourist thing, mostly boondocking out west. We spent last winter boondocking around Yuma, AZ, but we're visiting our son in NC now where boondocking places are pretty rare. We're in an RV park now, camping in a spacious site without hook-ups for only $100/mo., saving us $500/mo. off their FHU rates, while still enjoying the benefits of staying in an RV park, like unlimited dump station use and trash disposal. Options are a good thing. We have the flexibility of choosing whether we simply overnight in a parking lot or rest area, stay in a commercial RV park, a Forest Service CG, COE park, or go wild camping off in the boonies, saving tons of money regardless the season vs those $75-$150 a night RV resorts.

Yeah! Awesome sights and hiking.
Thanks!
Great video!!! I was there about 6 years ago, it is just a stunning place.
Totally agree! Thanks for taking the trip again with us! 😉
Very inspiring park. It kind of reminded me of a movie set due to it's architectural landscape flavor.
Thanks for sharing...
Gord
Thank you too! It is like a perfect row thru the Garden.
@@RoamingWithRosie Indeed... 🥳👍
On our list too. We almost went our first summer in our RV, but got altitude sickness. Great video! 🤩
You'll have to work you way up. You guys had spent too much time at sea level. We're enjoying your Alaska Adventure!
Awesome episode ... we have yet to visit Colorado. Happy travels
Thanks guys! Safe travels!

Hey @JustRamblinAround ! We'll have to check that out too for our upcoming Oregon trip. Did you do a video on Smith Rock?
