St. Mary Campground – Glacier National Park – review

September 24, 2023 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Perhaps I’m a victim of proximity ignorance, but I had no idea Glacier National Park (the US version) was so popular. Popular and surprisingly difficult to reserve campsites at. I was so worried about getting spots at Yellowstone National Park, I was dumbstruck when my first attempt to book at Glacier failed. Located in the […]

Lewis & Clark Caverns Campground – review

September 17, 2023 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Lewis & Clark Caverns is Montana’s very first state park. Before earning this footnote, the caverns were under the care of rangers from Yellowstone National Park. After a quarter century of shenanigans with local entrepreneurs, the national parks service waved the white flag and offered it to the state of Montana. Montana jumped at the […]

Three Nights in Glacier National Park

July 17, 2023 by acrockofschmidt 4 Comments

You know a trip is too long when your kid critiques Glacier National Park with a disinterested shrug, stating, “It’s just like more Banff.” First, how that could ever be construed as a negative is beyond me. And second, it’s actually “just like more Waterton”. Sheesh. That is where we stood as we set up […]

Lewis & Clark Caverns – review

June 6, 2023 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

I wouldn’t say I’m looking forward to death, but I think I’ll be okay with it. Well, the burial, at least. I do like me a good hole in the ground. Luckily, geology goes hand-in-hand with holes in the ground, so when I was hunting for cool places to visit on our big Yellowstone camping […]

Devil’s Elbow Recreation Site – review

April 19, 2023 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

As the old adage goes, there’s a first time for everything. By the end of this review, Devil’s Elbow Recreation Site will achieve one such first here at A Crock of Schmidt. I recommend you keep reading to discover if this first is momentous, or ignominious. Before I engage in my typical ramblings about the […]

Montana Blue Jewel Mine – review

April 16, 2023 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

You’ll be forgiven for assuming our epic Yellowstone (and Grand Teton … and Glacier) camping trip was as much about treasure hunting as it was sightseeing. That’ll happen when half the participants are mesmerized by shiny, glittery, and ancient things. Don’t get me wrong, I loved every minute of the national parks. Mother Nature at […]
