Roosevelt Lodge $

(
Roughrider/Frontier cabins $65/110; early Jun-early Sep
) Founded in 1906 as a ten-
ted camp, present-day Roosevelt Lodge was built in 1919 and retains an Old West feel, of-
fering 80 rustic cabins, horseback rides and a Wild West cookout in the heart of sagebrush
country.
For groups, families or couples traveling together, the Roughrider cabins are among the
park's greatest bargains, because the price is the same for cabins with one, two or three
beds, meaning you can shoehorn six people in here for around $10 a head! The simple but
pleasant wooden cabins come with a log-burning stove, though the one-bed (and some
two-bed) cabins are cramped (because it's the same price, book a larger cabin). All beds
