My dad gave my about to be 8 year old an amazing Christmas/birthday gift for this year—a trip! We went through several possible destinations and in the end he picked Yellowstone, with a few nights in Jackson Hole. And he picked me to come along with him, yay! So it will be the 8 year old, me, plus my dad and stepmom.
I’ve never been to Yellowstone or to Wyoming at all, so I’m doing a lot of reading and am really excited. But I’d love to round out that research with tips and ideas from my favourite travel planners!
My dad and stepmom have booked a package with Xanterra, the “total Yellowstone package”—https://www.yellowstonenationalpark...ads/2019/03/Summer-2019-Total-Yellowstone.pdf. It’s a little hard to tell from some of the descriptions exactly what sights/hikes/etc you’re doing but it certainly seems to hit a lot of the highlights. Has anyone done any of these packages before?
If there’s any can’t miss experiences that aren’t included in the tour we may hang around the park on the checkout day, or we may depart right away for more time in the Tetons.
We haven’t scheduled anything for our Jackson days yet, so I’d love suggestions. We’re staying at the Rustic Inn and they offer activity packages so we may book a float/rafting trip through them, possibly go riding, hike nearby trails, and also enjoy some pool/spa time. Any dining recommendations?
What else should I know?
