On day 10 we packed up our campsite and started driving home. Good-bye to spot I-176
Before we left, the girls were sworn in as Junior Rangers for the Grand Tetons.
We had such a fabulous time and made so many wonderful memories!!
My advice on items to bring to either/both parks:
Bear Spray
Bug Spray
Layers (it was cool in the evenings/mornings and warm during
the day)
Binoculars (the girls had their own pair too)
Bike helmets (we brought the girls’ helmets because we
planned to rent bikes) You can rent bike helmets if you don't want to bring your own.
More tips:
We found that the park is almost empty early in the mornings and in the evenings. It is well worth staying inside the park so that you can enjoy things during these "off-peak" times.
You also can avoid the crowds by getting off the beaten path and going on a hike. When we went on our Wraith Falls hike, we saw 1 other family the entire time. We had just come from the Mammoth Hot Springs area, which was swarming with people.
We also enjoyed these books:
National Park Guide
Yellowstone Day Hikes
Yellowstone Flowers and Trees Guide
Yellowstone Wildlife Guide
The girls enjoyed these:
Yellowstone National Parks
Who Pooped in the Park?
Gingerbread Tracks & Pine Needle Pasta
