Planning for The Grand Teton/Yellowstone Trip

[RUSSELL5000]

Wyoste,

Thanks. I looked at the route on Google earth and it does look straightforward. The roads look like nice two lane highway with wide shoulders. I think a lot of the roads we have travelled in West Virginia have more twists and turns, have narrower shoulders, and are steeper (lots of 9 percent to 11 percent grades).

We have not been to Yellowstone in close to 20 years. We found that even with all the crowds, by the time we walked an hour down a trail we had the park to ourselves. I hope it is still that way.

Day 4: Continue on west in South Dakota to see the Corn palace and rest for the night. (Cabala's in Mitchell is a fun stop!)

Day 24 through Day 30: Eastern half of Yellowstone from Fishing Bridge and Cody, Wyoming. (You can easily spend a couple of days in Cody. At least visit The Irma {Bill Cod'y's sisters restaurant-Bar- hotel} plus the gun museum, its HUGE!)

Ive been to Yellowstone so many times now I didnt think Id ever go back again. But after following this thread, I've decided to get over there again this year. I wont be going until right about the 1st of sept. Never been there that time of year before. Can anyone tell me if the fishing season is still open the 1st 2 weeks of sept, or how busy the park might be ?

We like the Sept & Oct months, less people more color, just a better experience. I don't fish but if I remember right the kids did and did well like anything else they are stocking up on food for the long winter.

I haven't really said to much because its not my vacation, but it just seems to me that to have EVERYTHING down to a time and place takes some of the fun from this to see, Have a Great!! Time and don't forget to actually look at things and find out why? These I just found doing some house cleaning on the computer, they are from a long time ago the plates on the trailer are Calif, and believe it or not, nobody vandalized our camp spot or equipment

I'm going on a vacation of sorts in a few weeks until the first HEAVY snows of winter, We had thought about taking another road trip but was asked by wife's Father to postpone until next summer. This vacation includes LOTS OF TIME on horseback, riding herd over close to 4 thousand head of Prime Red & Black Angus cattle. Lots of PHOTO opportunities for a " Budding Photo Enthusiast " :-laf
