The trusty ol' Kelty and a rental car stood in for Ludwig on our trip to Denver and back.
Day one: Anaconda to Yellowstone (Madison Campground). Here're the ladies admiring the Artists Paintpots. Tater Tot's assessment of the park: "It smells."
Day two: Yellowstone to Sinks Canyon State Park (near Lander Wyoming). The Popo Agie River disappears into that cave behind us, reemerging 1/4 mile down the canyon.
Day three: Sinks Canyon to Vedauwoo (between Laramie and Cheyenne Wyoming). Tater Tot situated her own camp chair in deference to the fire. There's little danger she'll be a pyromaniac.
She also climbed some rocks.
Going back, day one: Denver to Green Ridge Campground (near Granby Colorado). The beetle kill is waaaaay worse in Colorado than it is in Montana.
Day two: Granby Colorado to Douglas Wyoming. Stopping in Rocky Mountain National Park, atop Trail Ridge Road (here, at 11,796 ft). We saw a marmot.
Day two, continued. Ayres Natural Bridge County Park. This is one of the few natural bridges in the world with water running under it. Tater Tot was delighted that the park was nearly overrun with rabbits.
Day three: Douglas Wyoming to Billings Montana. Sorry, no pictures of Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument or of the Billings KOA, the world's first.
Day four: Billings to Anaconda. Tater Tot snagged a fish at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman.

I love the picture where your daughter is so far away from the camp fire. Your right about the beetle kill, it has decimated some beautiful landscapes here. Looks like you guys had a great trip!
Ayres Natural Bridge County Park looks really cool! never even heard of it!
Dammit! I totally missed an opportunity to use my favorite Latin word: cuniculosus (adj)--full of rabbits.
Yes, ANBCP is totally cool. So cool that I was hesitant to even mention it (not that this blog reaches some vast audience or anything, but you know what I mean).
Alright,
