GLACIER/YELLOWSTONE/GRAND TETON

Here’s our trip timeline to fit in all 3 of these National Parks! We would always recommend staying longer to explore these parks but if your work schedule and budget only allows for about a week this is what we did to make the most of the trip.

Multi-National Park trip Tips!

• Purchase the America the Beautiful Pass to save on park entry fees! If you make it to 3 or more parks in a year the pass is cheaper than paying individually. You can purchase those here – https://www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/passes.htm
• Plan your driving routes ahead of time. On our trip the North entrance to Yellowstone was closed due to the mudslide closing roads so we had to come from the West, making for longer drive time.
• A great resource for finding great hikes at each park is the National Park Trail Guide App. You can find it in the app store, as well as here – https://www.hikingproject.com/nationalparks
