Kodachrome SP
Sunday May 14th , 2023
We approached our next destination with some trepidation. I had been unable to book a campsite at Kodachrome State Park, but had been able to book a bunkhouse for a little extra cost. It seemed like. Good idea at the time but I had no recollection of the details of what a “bunkhouse” might entail and no cell service to check it out. The description of the location “behind the laundromat” didn’t seem too auspicious. As it turned out the “bunkhouse” was wonderful, equipped with beds, a dining table and chairs and sofa. Outside was a covered porch and bench, a picnic table and fireplace. For water and bathrooms we would use the facilities in the laundry. It was also in a beautiful setting, surrounded by sagebrush, juniper buses and pinyon pines, with red cliffs towering above. There were just two individual “bunkhouses” and in the other one was a lovely family from Utah that we really enjoyed meeting. It rained pretty heavily overnight and the following day we hiked the Panorama and Cool Cave trails. It was noticeable how quiet this State park was in contrast to Bryce Canyon. We really had the opportunity to take in the wild and beautiful scenery and to stop, listen and look for birds. We cut short our hike and skipped the spur out to the overlook because we could see and hear more thunderstorms rolling in. We used the extra free time to make use of the wonderful showers and do a load of laundry. We got the recommendation for Kodachrome State Park from a National Geographic guidebook and it is a spectacular place.
