Arriving at Steamboat Lake State Park ...

After a long ride in and out of rain storms from South Dakota, through Wyoming and into northern Colorado, we arrived at Steamboat Lake State Park ... about 26 miles north of I-40 outside of Steamboat Springs, Colorado.  Steamboat Lake State Park is tucked in under Hahn's Peak in wildflower strewn meadows and coniferous forests at about 8,000 feet in elevation ... we found cold (finally a chance to wear long sleeve shirts, long pants and jackets) ... and we were fortunate to set up camp before the rains rolled in over the mountains.

This is the campsite that Bambi had been hoping to find ... sweet!
