Veebyes, I appreciate the concern, it is a pretty ambitious schedule. But like I've mentioned previously, we'll actually be taking about 2 1/2 days going out. We'll have 4 days there, and 2 days on the return with the option for a third if we need it. Plus I will have a relief driver to help with the driving duties.
As for going somewhere closer instead, we originally was considering Rocky Mountain NP, but after some intense lobbying from my wife and sister-in-law who desperately want to see Montana, I agreed. I thought we could spend 2 or 3 days in Yellowstone, and take a day trip or two into Montana. Now, that isn't set in stone, I'm still researching areas of Montana where we could possibly land in one spot and just spend a few days exploring the immediate area. Any suggestions?
