    Glad to have stumbled across this thread! GF and I are headed to Jackson WY for a wedding on Sept. 7th. We decided to fly out a week early and hit up the GTNP and YNP. We are flying into Denver and have a Yukon XL rented for the week. It’s set up with a sleeping platform and stove/fridge setup.

    Hanging out in Denver for a couple nights and heading into YNP Monday. I have a pretty good loop planned, hoping to hit most of the highlights in 2 days. Then bump down to GTNP to hike 2 days and float the Snake 1 day.

    I worked out at Colter Bay Village Marina back in the Summer of ‘04. And have been through the parks twice since. It’s my GF’s 1st time out there, so she’s super excited.

    After I finish checking out this thread, I plan on sending you a message with our tentative stops and double check about some dispersed sites I used to know of. And get some recs on possible hikes in GTNP.

    Appreciate it!

    What a great thread, thanks for taking the time to post, and all the comments. Fluffy Cow, LoL!

    Want to plan a trip for next year right after my Wife retires. It is easy to get overwhelmed with all the information about how to "Do" Yellowstone.

    Her primary interest is animals so I think Lamar Valley and Hayden Valley are numbers 1 and 2 on the list, plus maybe a horseback ride. Not sure where to stay yet to maximize time in those areas, course I still have a year to plan.

    One interesting statistic I saw was that of all bear incidents involving hikers, 91% occurred when hikers were out solo or in pairs. Yikes! Kinda puts a damper on hiking :eek:

    Will continue to follow for more tips and reports!!
