Everyone experiences national parks in different ways. Some prefer to pitch a tent, while others drive their own RVs or camper vans. And then there are those who gravitate towards hotels, resorts, and lodges. There are many ways in which to visit national parks, and these are what comprise the camping styles aspect of the journey, and contribute an important part of the Hello Ranger Community as well. To help build our community, we’ve brought on a crew of Camping Ambassadors to help inspire with their own insight, guides, and expertise. Our Camping Ambassadors cover the following topics: Tent & Car Camping, Van Life, and Hotel & Resort Lodging. Start your journey by following along with one of our guides:
Considering this lodging is 5,000 feet and a 10-mile trek below the south rim, it’s no easy journey, but once you arrive at this rustic oasis at the bottom of the largest canyon in the world, any aches and pains accumulated along the journey will seem well worth it.
If Glacier National Park is the “Crown of the Continent,” its three grand hotels are its most precious jewels. However, a smaller, lesser-known lodge, the Belton Chalet, was the first to welcome guests when the park opened in 1910. We think it’s a hidden gem.
I’m not going to bore you with a witty line about chicken or pasta; I’m not a food blogger. However, I do enjoy a delicious meal while camping in the woods, and I would like to briefly tell you how I created this recipe for chicken alfredo!
