This is where you camp when Island in the Sky is full ... which it always it. The method is to stop here on the way in, nail down a site then continue on another 20-odd miles to the Grand viewpoint ... then come back.
Some ATT cellphone reception but not great.
Notes on each visit (posted cost • senior cost):
Campsite 3 is already taken, as were almost all the sites along the outside edge of this loop.
So I settle for campsite 3.
BLM raised te price again. I don't blame them, this is a very popular spot.
Wow, I was here two years ago almost to the day, and the weather was soooo much warmer!
Site 2 is where the loop road turns a corner, facing out on the mesa with a good sunset exposure ... which wiill do me little good since I will spend sunset at Island in the Sky.
