Greetings! My wife and I are first-timers this year. We have lived in Colorado for a long time but never ventured down to Telluride. So we are pretty stoked.
We are driving up Wednesday morning. Camping in Lawson Hill campground 'til Sunday.
Couple of questions:
1) Should we pack food for all five days? Or is it feasible to restock in town? I understand there is only one grocery store this year. Also, I saw lots of warnings that the town is generally blocked off to cars the whole time. So I guess we would have to take groceries/ice on the bus? If not, then I'm a little worried about having a big enough cooler and making ice last that long. How do you guys do it?
2) Do I need a parking pass for Lawson Hill campground? I did not see any details for parking at this campsite. From what I could tell, this wasn't an option when purchasing camp permits. But I've seen plenty of warnings in general about parking passes. So I'm a little nervous.
3) How far away is the parking lot from the actual campsite @ Lawson Hill? Just wondering how far we'll have to schlep stuff.
Thanks! Can't wait to see you guys there.
