Sorry about another post on a common topic.
We are a retired couple planning a 2015 trip to Glacier National Park and then on to Yellowstone. I am trying to determine how much time to plan for each park. We like to stay inside the national parks. We like to hike, motorcycle, and spend time viewing the sights.
In Yellowstone, we plan to stay several different campsites to reduce driving. I prefer to make reservations since the parks are so popular.
So, how many days should we plan for each park?
Thanks!
I can't help with Glacier as I have not been there, but I think 3 days would be the min with one to ride the Going to the Sun on the bike.
Yellowstone the min I think would be at lest 5 days, more if you think riding the Beartooth Hwy on the bike, this could be done from a campground in the Lamar Valley in a long day.
While out that way you could spend a few days in the Grand Tetons.
JMHO Have a good trip.
