I'm looking to set up a Yellowstone/Grand Tetons trip for next summer. This will be a one week trip visiting Yellowstone mostly, however, there will be a one day trip see the Grand Tetons as well. Looking at the first two weeks in August next year. I'm just seeing how much interest there would be.
Basic itinerary: Sunday-stay in Mammoth Inn with early afternoon meet-up and tour that area. ($89.55-137.17)
Monday-visit East side, Dunraven Pass, Mud Volcano, Canyon and stay in Grant Village.($159.35 or 166.46)
Tuesday-Sightseeing trip to Grand Tetons and stay at Old Faithful Inn.($108.04-264.58)
Wednesday-visit Old Faithful area, Black Sand Basin, Biscuit Basin, Midway Basin. Stay at Old Faithful Inn again.
Thursday-Firehold Lake Drive, Fountain Paint Pots exit to West Yellowstone. Visit W. Yellowstone and stay in town. (No specific hotel yet.)
Friday-visit Norris Geyser Basin, Obsidian cliff and west side of park. Stay in Gardiner. (No specific hotel yet.)
Saturday-depart for home.
This is the basic plan and subject to change if necessary. This will be a tourist trip, so don't expect much enthusiastic driving. Too many tourists on the road and too slow a speed limit anyway. Not to mention those wild animals that tend to visit the roads.
If you would be interested in attending, speak up here. Expected expense will be around $125/night for Sunday through Friday for rooms. Dining will be determined by where we are when we want to eat. I will probably have a 10 room limit.
Since this is so far in the future and is limited to 10 rooms, those who express interest will get first more detailed info when rooms become available. And first shot at the rooms. Once there are ten, I'll start a "Standby List" in case someone cancels out later.
