Hey all, that was me. It looks like my post got great reviews (yay me!).
I'm actually planning a short trip out there early next year, so maybe I can
get some snapshots of what everyone can look forward to.
If we were to camp (cabin, tents etc...) I would make it at least June or
later. Those mountains are unpredictable and can get a bit cold.
