Below: Our motorhome entering Caron Creek RV Park. They say that bear, elk, moose and deer roam the mountain behind the RV, but we didn't see any wild animals in the one day we were there. A week before we got here, they had a fluke snowstorm that left 4-inches of snow on the ground. So glad we didn't get here sooner. And they say bear were roaming on the mountain in the photo below.

Clean washrooms, free showers, laundry, full hook-up pull-through sites.
