Beautiful visitor center with the most amazing view! Nice little gift shop too. Lots of Big Horn Sheep.
5 miles west in the boulder river barite
Drove the 532 east bound. Pretty road, a few campgrounds and big horn sheep.
Closed?
Nice views and large clean room (2 queen). Very close to park entrance and visitor center, might as well be in the park. Don't count on breakfast, it's very basic, but the restaurant at cedar pass is excellent for breakfast, lunch and dinner. One of my favorite places for food in the parks, especially the Sioux taco.
Friendly staff and neat displays. If you have some time dress up ($7) and take all the cool oldtimey photos you want with their props and real historic buildings.
Warning under construction until spring 2018. That being said it was still a very nice stop. The arch is very photogenic and the sensation of standing on top and seeing the two legs below was cool. Great views. A trip to the top will take 1-2 hours depending on how long you want to take pictures. Currently only one team is running due to the renovations so this is probably why a little slower (lots of waiting in line). The underground museum was closed but the exhibits in the old courthouse were quite good. Looking forward to the future expansion of this "Jefferson Expansion Memorial Monument".
We stayed in the historic cabins for two nights. They are right next to the amphitheater for the evening ranger talk and that was excellent. The park itself was well run and the cave tours were informative with a nice variety of options. We did two, the Historic and the Domes and Dripstones. The tour groups are quite large (over 100) but the cave is also large and there wasn't a point at which the guide was talking and we couldn't hear or see her so it was fine. There are a variety of hiking trails and a few ranger led programs up topside and some options for biking or boating. Very green and lush place.
Very nice little visitor center with museum and dioramas. Can learn a few things and drive to the pinnacle overlook. Take a short hike in Daniel boone's doorsteps.
