Yellowstone in September

Grizzly is great as a base camp for Yellowstone, and may very well have sites available after Labor Day with a 2-3 week advance notice. They offer Wifi but have limited time available to campers; if you can bring your own hot spot, especially if you have Verizon service, that should work a little better for your daughter's homework situation.

The park is still crowded - September has been "discovered" over the last decade or so - but it's still less busy than during the peak summer months. Some of the facilities (hotels, restaurants, etc.) in the park will close right after Labor Day, but enough will be open that you can find what you need. Weather is usually good that month; it may freeze overnight, but that's not a problem if you are prepared for it.

I'd second this info, October is even starting to be discovered, but IMHO, it's a great time to get into the best park in the world.

Add to the fact that the Aspen are going to be changing - end of September, early October, is just a bonus - might even catch a little SNOW.

The best trip we ever had was the end of October - start of November - Indian summer - Hard not to love it when the Buffalo outnumber the People.

Don't forget the Tetons they are pretty nice when you are the only one staring at those Rocks.

BOL,









Just had to add a few pictures to make it more interesting, from our trip in Late October/November.
