No worries. :-)

I didn't experience significant delays last summer either. I think their dire warnings about huge delays caused a lot of people to avoid Bear Lake like the plague.

We all have our preferences, of course. Personally, I would not exchange time spent IN Grand Lake area, for time spent IN THE CAR, driving to and from Hot Sulphur Springs.

Thanks! I got it now. I didn't expect to be trapped in the park - more that there would be huge back ups getting out prior to 4 pm so gald to hear that shouldn't be the case.

It's only 30 minutes from Grand Lake to Hot Sulphur Springs; maybe after a day of hiking, it would be a relaxing jaunt.
