When i was leaving the hotel a bunch of Motercyclists came in all with nice looking harlies.. I think they were also touring this part of the country. ... Its the only place in Coalmont :) .. I think the renovations should be done soon, and available to stay at. .. An excellent stop along the trail. ... Worth the extra day back tracking west from Princeton.
