    What a great opportunity to see some awesome sights! Most of these spots, if not all, a traveling tourist wouldn't know about. And a great way to meet some TW'ers. Thank you Lisa. I'm currently scheduled to take the last week of June and the first week of July off work and do my Big Horns trip and show some visitors around the Yellowstone area. It would be tough for me to take another week off at the end of July. If my visitors don't buy their tickets, etc. soon, I'd love to join you. I'll keep watching. Thanks.

    Bob

    I would love to show you guys around - I know we've mentioned getting together for a Yellowstone trip before.

    Just throwing the idea out there for now, let people think about it and see what interest there is.

    :cool:

    That's kinda why I wanted to do this trip - give people a different view of the park, areas you normally wouldn't get to visit.
    Like I said before, I only suggested middle/late July as that's when the area is the prettiest. Can't go any earlier because the Gravelly road doesn't open until 7/2. Later could work but it just won't be as nice. Plus the later we wait to go the higher the risk of fire restrictions.

    Actually I take that back. I just double checked my schedule and August doesn't work for me. haha

    Were you planning on this trip over lapping a weekend or being weekdays? Candice has Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays off. Though she can possibly trade her Tuesday to get a Thursday off and then take Friday off to get 4 days off or she can try to take Monday off to go Saturday through Tuesday. Just an idea.

    I graduate in May and have been applying for jobs so if I get one I don't have high hopes of having any free time besides weekends this summer though... But since it's so close (location wise) maybe we can find you guys for the weekend and hang out.

    It would definitely have to be over a weekend - taking time off in the summer is tough for me but I need to have a couple good, long trips in there to destress from work. I figure either we'll start on a saturday and go through tuesday/wednesday or start mid week and end on sunday.

    This summer is going to be a whirlwind with home renos. But if you do this again next year I'm sure I could convince the wife that we need to see montana. We were already talking about going to Yellowstone next year, coincidence I think not. Can't wait to see all the pictures

    Gravelly Road in is Montana, but after that you are pretty much in Idaho until you hit Teton on the last day which is in WY. So this trip is split between the 3 states.

    Nice so my wife and I could head back for home through Alpine. She prefers that way vs going through the Jackson/Teton pass into Teton!:eek:
