Camping in Rocky Mountain National Park

I have decided to extend my vacation so I booked 4 nights (Aug 12-15) in RMNP.

Would anyone care to join me? The spaces can hold 2 tents (mine is small) so if you also have a very small tent, there would be room at my site. I booked the nights of Aug 12-13 at Glacier Basin, and Aug. 14-15 at Moraine Park (I couldn't decide which to stay at, so I chose both). Or get your own site if you wish.

if there is a Hyatt up there.

Don't forget it gets down to 40 degrees at night in those mountains. I know I slept in the trailer last year. Not doing it this year. Nice warm room to come back to after a cold night on Mt. Evans.

I have a room at Copper - I'm talking about after that. I've camped below 40 degrees in the desert at night (brr...), and on some fall trips - a nice sleeping bag is the key.

I bring my own pillow everywhere - it's a little bit of home and helps me sleep in strange places.
