Dear Ranger,

 

We would like to reserve campsites in the Wild Basin area for 15-18 July 2004.  I was told I should write to make this request.  Here are my preferences based on www.rmnp.com/Backcountry/RMNP-Things-BackCountry.HTML.  We would like to pick up our permit at the trail head if possible.
