But if you really want to “explore” as you originally said, you will need more time or slim down your ambitions. I spent 2 days hiking in Grand Teton and 13 days hiking in Yellowstone. And that was still not enough. It’s just incredible, so much to see, but you have to walk and hike to see the best and get away from crowds. Yellowstone is huge with long drives between major scenic areas. Plus you may get caught in traffic jams of cars watching roadside bears, or bison.

I would also recommend you concentrate most of your time on GT and YNP. Plan out your days of travel, lodging, sights to see, hikes to take. Your base lodging could be Jackson, Old Faithful Inn, Canyon Village, West Yellowstone. Or campgrounds nearby. Make reservations. Research what is open and closed. The winters are so severe that there is usually roadway reconstruction every year. Delays happen. Plan it out in as much detail as you can, it will be so rewarding.
Got it got it. Seems like general consensus would be to skip RMNP and just focus on these two parks to get the full experience

Nothing really to add, since my opinions on it align pretty much with everyone else's.

Just a few thoughts:

If you have 2 people and you drive in shifts you are a mere 24 hours from the west.

Fear of putting miles on the truck, and depreciation, is bullshit. What the **** did you buy it for?

Now isn't really a great time to be traveling. If you are doing off the grid stuff, dispersed camping, then that's one thing. But going through the NPs, commercial campgrounds, restaurants, **** that. We blundered through Crater Lake last month while on a off the grid trip and it was a total shitshow. Packed. Packed more than I've ever seen it. Yellowstone will be worse... it's stupid busy even on a good day.

Exactly.


We just returned from a month out in CO UT MT and WY.
If you don't already have reservations you can pretty much forget staying in any of the park campgrounds. Booked solid every time I looked and I started looking back in April or so....occasionally you might catch a cancellation but I would not count on it.
We stayed in USFS campgrounds a National Monument and a BLM campground. Same story with being 100% full just about every night.

BTW we drove the 4R- 7200 miles racked up. Did a similar trip 3 years ago and almost hit 10,000.

Going back in September for an undetermined period. Starting that vacation when we arrive in the Bighorn Mountains. Takes me 2.5 days to get there. I love being retired!

3 years ago my grandson, then 10, and I went on an epic National Park trip- 11 of them, all out west. Drove almost 10k miles and took a month.

Yellowstone was ridiculous- we were in my Transit van and could not stop at ANY of the must see spots. Parking lots were full and cars lined up for a mile down the road shoulders both directions.
We went back the next morning pre-dawn and were able to see a lot we missed. By 10AM it was back to the same overcrowded mess.
Did the same thing at Yosemite.

The sad news is it is even worse now.

FWIW - if you do not already have camping spots reserved - I would not expect to stay in Yellowstone or in or close to Teton park. Everyone in the west has the same idea of going camping. I spent last week in Yellowstone. As you may already know about half of the campgrounds are closed. The open ones were full every night - I believe all pre-reserved. I don't know if any first come first serve campgrounds are open right now. The popular campgrounds around West Yellowstone were also full. I can't say about the campgrounds near the other entrances.

We spent one night in Island Park, Idaho on the lake and we were able to find a walk up campsite open. So that may be a place to look if you can't find spots in the park. At least one of the campgrounds near Hebgen Lake was closed to tents due to bears being in the campground. Also there was a bear at Madison Campground where we stayed on Thursday night IIRC. Last week a woman and kid were bitten by a black bear(Black bear bites woman, child in Yellowstone | East Idaho News. Main point - for tent camping, you need to be planning on thinking bear safety. Bears are always around, but they've been really active lately in the campgrounds - probably something along the lines of a gap in seasonal food happening right now. Yellowstone campgrounds have bear boxes for food. The ones outside the park rarely do. Buy some bear spray. Don't let the kiddos have food in the tent at all - a granola bar wrapper can get you killed. Sounds extreme - but it's happened. Put everything in the bear box at night or in the car. Take it seriously. I don't lay awake at night worried about bears, attacks are rare. Just giving a heads up if you're not familiar with the issue to think about it before you get there.

The crowds were limited because many of the campgrounds are closed and there are no chinese tour buses. So that was a big plus. On most backcountry hiking trails there were very few people or none at all. The popular boardwalks were moderately busy given the season. Both the boiling river and firehole river swim locations are closed. And there are no shower facilities open at any location inside Yellowstone park. Many of the service stations (gas) are open and have typical convenience store food. Almost all or all of the prepared food locations and counters are closed. So plan on doing your own cooking. The restaurants in West Yellowstone and Mamoth/Gardiner are still open, but restricted.

Oh - and they're currently doing a re-pave of the road between Big Sky and West Yellowstone Montana. If you go that route, expect long waits (like 30+ minutes). The road through to Mamoth from the north wasn't so bad. The road between Tower Junction and Canyon Village was closed. So if you're coming in through Cook City, or Cody Wyoming and are headed somewhere you'd plan to take that segment, plan an extra hour or so to go around through mammoth.

Also - It's a great time to go. I hope you have a great time. But pack your patience - lots of it!

Oh - one more thing - 99% of Yellowstone does not have cell service. None at all. And the locations that do have very limited bandwidth and a ton of people trying to use it. So I would not plan on doing any remote work from inside the park that requires data connection. Phone calls will be limited and if you're out seeing the park, you'll rarely be able to make a phone call. Generally the only places with cell phone service are in Mamoth, Tower Junction, Fishing Bridge area, Canyon Villiage, and Grant Village. The Madison junction area does not have any phone service. Generally in the west Verizon is the best/only service. So even in those areas if you're not on Verizon or do have a phone that can roam on Verizon's network you may be SOL. I don't know for for sure on that for Yellowstone. In Montana - Verizon is for all practical purposes the only carrier that has a functional network.

The National Park Service is limiting the amount of cars entering Yosemite as part of the covid response. Reservations are needed (weeks ahead of time) for lodging, camping, day use, back packing, day hiking, climbing. You even need to make a reservation to just drive through the park as if going on the Rt 120 Tioga Rd to Mono Lake and Rt 395.
It’s crazy busy. Gotta plan ahead. Good luck.

I hate to be that guy, but things were so much nicer and simpler in the parks in the 80s. Nowhere near the amounts of people there are today, facilities were more basic, etc. I remember thinking how cool it was to call home from the one pay phone in Polebridge, Montana, by Glacier NP.

Luckily most people don't go to - or even know about - Polebridge. And pretty much every NP has a "Polebridge"... an off the beaten path cool spot that feels like a local secret.

Really though, the last few times I've just driven through a NP to drive through, it was torturous. I'm honestly of the opinion now that NF > NP. So much more space to explore with so few people. I guess if there's not a posted map with every pullout marked most people won't go there. Thank God.

I sometimes look at NP webcams, specifically Glacier and Yellowstone since I'm familiar with them. Lake McDonald in Glacier has so many wind surfers/boarders now, they would be in every pic you tried to take. Then there's the face masks - don't even get me started ;-)

That's fair. We are all "the crowd", I guess.

I actually am sometimes embarrassed (for our country) by how many non-Americans are at NPs. More than Americans. Listen to the languages being spoken in those crowds. At least the Chinese tourists are out doing something, unlike the majority of fat American slobs watching NASCAR in their underwear on their mom's couch.

Our last time out was 2012. Foreign tourists were there, of course, but maybe not in as big numbers as today. I seem to recall a good amount of Germans, too. We need to get out west again. Lots of good memories and photos from back when.

I have driven across the U.S, from coast to coast, dozens of times. Once you cross the Mississippi River, there is not much to see until you reach the Rockies. If you go drive further north, into the Dakotas, it can be quite beautiful.
Some camping advice. Most all of the National Forests and Bureau of Land Management have free camping. Yes, there are semi-set-up camping sites (fire-pits, sometimes water, and pit toilets) and those are camping for a small fee. Personally, I much prefer choosing my own, totally free, spot to camp rugged style. Just ask at any ranger station. Depending upon where you camp, there is likely to be strict rules about any fires. If taking water from any stream or lake, BOIL THE WATER FOR 5 MINUTES BEFOR DRINKING IT.

In the Natl parks, just be aware that you may NOT, repeat NOT camp anywhere you choose. Camp grounds in NATL PARKS, often require making a reservation months and months IN ADVANCE. Even sleeping in your car, off the side of the road is prohibited.

I strongly advise doing your homework BEFORE leaving home. Look at all of the Natl Forests near where you want to go. Just remember, the distances in the west are much, much greater than in the east. You may easily find yourself an hour or two from a National Park to a place where you can find camping.

If lucky, you could stumble across a "bear jam". Traffic can be backed up as the tourists ogle a Grizzly bear or Bison, on the roadway. KEEP YOUR DISTANCE FROM THESE WILD ANIMALS. Every so often a stupid tourist gets too close to a Bison and is fatally wounded.

In The Grand Teton Natl Park take a look at Bridger-Teton Natl Forest: semi close camping there.
In Yellowstone Natl Park your best bet is to drive west to the town of West Yellowstone (outside the park)and ask about camping in Caribou-Targhee Natl Forest

Think long and hard about what you may need to take with you. All of the possible camping needs (the nights can be quite cold at altitude). Take your tool box in case of a breakdown.

Thanks to all for the advice. Quick update on the trip. Drove from VA to Denver and spent about 3/4 a week exploring around the surrounding areas (afternoon/evening excursions). Once last buddy came in spent about 1.5 weeks around Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. Incredible trip but like many said could have used more time in Yellowstone.

Attached a couple pics from the trip. Installed the Gobi rack myself in the valet lot at my Denver hotel (that was fun). Put on the AT tires as soon as I got back.

Thanks again for the help!
