Just an FYI for all cautioning about time of year and drive time...
This is the only time I have in the year to spend this many consecutive nights. We've been doing this long trip for about 10 years w a camper, so I'm far from new at this. And we often travel 12 hour days when doing these trips to maximize the time on locations.
Last year during this time frame, we did Zion, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, North Rim of Grand Canyon and Canyonlands. Granted, these parks aren't far apart, but the drive there is further than our destinations this year.
I appreciate that everyone is trying to make helpful suggestions, but we know what we can handle since we've been doing it so long.
And many of the other stops that were suggested are places we've been during past trips. I'm more looking for things local to these locations, as opposed to their areas all together.
Thanks for all the suggestions, and keep em coming!
Well the whole area of Tetons and Yellowstone is scenic. If you can do the Teton village tram, Jackson rodeo, take ferry across Jenny Lake and hike back, Old Faithful area, Grand Prismatic, Hayden Valley loop, Fire Hole for swim, ATV rental in west Yellowstone, try Montana Whitewater up near Big Sky. That is just a sample of things we did and saw on our trip.
In late June or July would suggest getting into Yellowstone early. The tour buses loaded park up by noon.
