hookups. Basic campsites cost $16 per night, and sites with hookups cost $25 per
reservations ($8 reservation fee).
LODGING & SUPPLIES
Located in the park along the park road (you can't miss
camping supplies, food items, and the like. This is also headquarters for
Redstone
Cabins,
six modern cabins. Four have two double beds and two have one king, and
all six have bathrooms with showers, refrigerators, microwaves, air-conditioning,
private porches with tables and chairs, and outside charcoal barbecue grills. Cost

Sports & Activities
HIKING
Kodachrome Basin offers several hiking possibilities. Starting just south of
the campground, the
Panorama Trail
is only moderately difficult. At first, it fol-
lows an old, relatively flat wagon route; then it climbs to offer views of the park's
rock formations before reaching the well-named Panorama Point. Along the way
are several possible side trips, including a short walk to the
HatShop,
so named
because the formations resemble broad-brimmed hats, and
WhiteBuffaloLoop,
where you'll see a formation that looks like—guess what?—a white buffalo. On
this hike, you can also hook up with
BigBearGeyserTrail,
which is a bit more dif-
ficult, winding past Big Bear and Mama Bear before returning to Panorama Trail.
Allow 2 to 3 hours for the Panorama Trail and an extra hour for Big Bear Geyser
Trail.
