You want to drive to a destination with an.

Get out of the car go on a hike a wanna -- Made it on horseback ride or a boat trip down the river.

Season really experience it feel it smell it all of those things have really take it and you can't really get at all from the car -- have only you could stay in the park.

Yes there are several hotels in the park.

You of them are quite old and pack one comes from before -- nineteen.

Hundreds.

That they've been renovated don't expect though to see things like.

They don't have that kind of stuff you know -- -- so that's right don't know what I -- yeah I'm -- a you know my name's Tracy nearby rivers that are now I want they play.

The time that -- it's to keep you enough serene experience that you really taking it and and being a part.

The other option is campaign but the campgrounds book early and they get crowded they didn't wanna look at least six months in advance it's quite a ways.

On but to make sure that you can get and he also recommends.

-- outside the part of -- going to go camping because really inside it's so crowded that he says the tents are just right on top of another.

So he recommends going to.

By the galaxy river red -- campground you don't just outside the park really only thirty minutes away -- -- a much better experience okay you all unplugged it.

Patty and we're we're just like this all the time yeah I mean just -- finalize everything.
