Our initial thoughts were to come in the north entrance and go thru Tower Falls then to Canyon and see what we can along the way with the trailer if possible. Maybe it would make more sense after your comments to do that route the next day without the trailer. We only have 2 nights here, at least that is the current plan. We plan to leave out the south entrance.
Will we at least be able to use some of the pull-outs that I assume will be along the roads with the trailer?
4 nights at Glacier, 2 at Yellowstone, 3 in the Tetons, 2 at the badlands, and many other nights along the way. 17 days total.
There is no way to spend enough time at all places, but we'll have a great time I'm sure. Glad to hear we can take all the main roads in Yellowstone with the trailer. Hoping to see stuff on the way in, and on the way out, as we might as well enjoy the drive since it sounds like it will be slow going anyway with all the traffic.
Thanks for all the advice so far.
We did a similar trip last summer, Cleveland to Yellowstone, down to Grand Teton and back through the Badlands. If you are doing the Badlands last, take that down to just one night and add a night in Yellowstone if you can. You can enter the Badlands from the Wall Drug exit, drive all the way through and stay at the Badlands KOA on near the East Entrance. You will regret doing two nights there and short changing Yellowstone.
Are you doing Mt Rushmore on the way out? The Mount Rushmore KOA is top notch as well. Tons for the kids to do, really close to the monument.
