2019 Road Trip – Longmont, CO

Today we left Cody, WY and drove to St. Vrain State Park just East of Longmont, CO. We headed South out of Cody on WY-120 and then hopped on good old US-20 in Thermopolis, WY (famous for its hot springs). Just South of Thermopolis US-20 follows the Wind River through the Wind River Canyon. This was an incredibly scenic drive. Probably one of the best on the trip outside of a major attraction. US-20 through my hometown of LaGrange, IN is obviously very scenic with my childhood home on display, but I’d have to admit that Wind River Canyon tops it.

The St. Vrain State Park is another nice state park in Colorado with full hookups. The roads are dirt, but our site had a HUGE cement slab (perhaps because it’s handicap accessible). The picnic table was backed by a wind shelter. All the sites were pull through and very long. There were no trees to block satellite access and the Verizon LTE was very fast. The only negative was our proximity to I-25, but the road noise didn’t bother us.
