We just returned home after a 38 day trip out west. We visited the Tetons, Yellowstone, Glacier, Devils Tower, Rushmore, Needles Hwy, Custer State Park, Crazy House, Wind Cave NP, Badlands, the Winnebago factory, my wife wanted to see it, and Waterloo, IA.
To me the Tetons are beautiful and the best in terms of layout.
We spent 6 nights in the Tetons which worked out well. 8 nights in Yellowstone which could have been shortened by 1 night. 6 nights in Glacier which could have been shortened to 4 nights. The weather, the closure of the Going to the Sun Road, all were factors in the short stay in Glacier. I was really looking forward to our stay in Glacier but after being in the Grand Tetons NP, in my opinion, Glacier doesn't compare.
