Good to know! I’ll be heading back this year it looks like, but giving myself more time to acclimate to the elevation, so barring bad weather hopefully I won’t have to stay in a hotel any.The Alpine Inn next door is pretty good. John the owner hunts elk and has a few good stories.
I think it's best to camp near where you may be scouting. The Alpine is nothing special. It's always been clean and comfortable to stay. I haven't stayed there for three or four years.Good to know!

Plus I invested in better sleeping bags. I tried to get through 1st rifle with a 40 degree bag last time.
Actually, after thinking about it, John has a few good elk lies!The Alpine Inn next door is pretty good. John the owner hunts elk and has a few good stories.
He directed you guys there because his place may have been worse. lolEarly 90’s, my wife (girlfriend at the time) and I were heading home from Wisconsin Dells late at night. We decided to shack up in Green Bay and booked a room at the Gladstone Motel.
One step in the room and we said “no way.” We got our money back from the angry hotel owner and drove 2 hours home. That hotel is no longer there.
2011, the family and I were heading home from an out-west vacation and decided to stop in the Minneapolis area around 1am.
My brother, who lived nearby gave us the name of a hotel (forgot the name), in Burnsville.
The room was in the back of the hotel, which had no lighting in the parking lot. The room smelled, was filthy and had blood splatter on the wall.
Like others, we slept in sleeping bags and were out the door by 6am.
Not sure if my brother directed us there on purpose or not…..I think he did!
