It's crowded in Torrey. People are camped alllll over the place, especially since the main CapReef campground is still closed. And someone killed a marmot in the park yesterday when driving down the road.
Anyway, the amount of people is typical for this holiday weekend, but it just feels like more than usual since we'd been so quiet for months now. Ah well. Tis what it is.
I'm almost to Torrey right now and it sure feels busy. Never been here around Memorial Day, though. I'm just passing through, fortunately, but staying somewhere not terribly far away. Hopefully we can find a spot to set up...
As.
@JulieKT can attest to, Memorial Day down there is tends to be the busiest weekend of the year down there, and every year seems to get busier and busier, so I'm sure it's turning into quite a zoo down there.
I would have been just as content to stay home and keep working on a new backyard playhouse construction project I've taken on for my kids, along with some more touch up work in our yard and garden to be done. However, In-laws invited us down to Torrey for the weekend after all and my wife and kids are desperate to get away from our house for some vacation time. Fortunately, they've got an unfinished home they've been working on that we'll be able to "camp" in, so no worries about finding a camp spot for us. For Sunday-Monday, I'm aiming to take my wife and two older girls out on a short little backpacking trip up to some less popular meadows up on Boulder Mountain where I expect very few if any others will be.
Had my girls not been so interested in coming, Jess and I may have attempted a full loop (same one I did last year with a couple friends) and camp out on the Boulder Top rim somewhere, but there's probably some sections of that trail that are real good and muddy or snowed in still. And at that elevation, it'll be reaching down below freezing temps by the looks of things, so I expect that'll keep some crowds down too, as far as the backcountry backpacking destinations go. It's awesome that my girls want to come along though, so we'll take it easy for them, then do some short hikes out from our basecamp, up the creek to check out some springs and waterfalls if we can, and for sure, up to a viewpoint on the top of the rim. With the year almost half over, this'll be my first hike, first bag night, etc and I'm excited to get out and break in a new pack, new tent, new sleeping pad and so on.
Counting the days to 5 weeks in the Winds and Absarokas.
