Today was our day to explore the Many Glacier portion of the park. Based on the ages of everyone in our group, we chose to explore the lower lake area of Grinnell Glacier, and to get there via boat shuttle, which required some planning - we booked these tickets back in December, which ensured we …

Today we woke up and moved to the east side of Glacier, changing RV parks. Although we hoped to leave by around 8:30am to make an early check-in at our next RV park, Nick needed to go into West Glacier for some better wifi for some work related issues, so we ended up leaving closer …
Today started early. We definitely did not want a repeat of yesterday where we couldn’t find parking and had to add mileage onto our hike, so our plan was to leave the RV park by 5am. Thankfully, we were off by 5:09! We warmed up a combination of savory egg cups and breakfast sandwiches that …
Our goal today was to leave the RV park by 7am, and we were only 9 minutes past that goal! However, it turns out that we should have left even earlier. It took quite a while to get through the West entrance into GNP, and once we arrived at the Trail of Cedars / Avalanche …

Day 9 - moving from Grand Tetons to Cheyenne, Wyoming Nick wanted to begin this day early and we left by 6:30am, which provided a beautiful and quiet drive through the Tetons. We drove for a few hours before the kids awoke and we stopped in a little town. I loved this drive through Wyoming …
Day 7 Well, today included a lot of learning moments that concluded with how we would do things differently in the future, ha. Since our next stop was not that far away, we planned to stay in our RV park until checkout time at 11. This worked well for allowing everyone to rest later after …

Before I jump into sharing about our two days in Yellowstone National Park, I want to highly recommend Ash's itineraries at Dirt in My Shoes. She does offer ambassador programs where people can benefit from referrals, but I was denied for both of the programs (not influential enough, ha), so please know that for me …
