Yellowstone Itinerary (west entrance)

We are traveling to Yellowstone this July 2008. Our ';base'; will be at a timeshare (Yellowstone Village) in West Yellowstone. Has anyone been there?

Any suggestions on a 5 day itinerary in Yellowstone (i.e., day trips). We will be returning to West Yellowstone each night? Has anyone stayed at the Howlers Inn in Bozeman. Is it worth a 2 night stay. Any suggestions of what to do/see in Bozeman. We have 2 children (ages 7 %26amp; 11). Thanks for your help!

Yellowstone Itinerary (west entrance)

Instead of Bozeman I would go to Cody and see the museums and the rodeo. The kids will love it.

I would try to go to Mammoth and Tower and out the NE entrance one day and another day to Old Faithful area. One day could be spent making the grand loop area of YNP.

Just Google Bozeman. And, from the Bozeman TA site, try this: tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g45095-Activitie…

I think you will be using your five days well if you focus on YNP and Cody. Perhaps a drive to Grant Teton NP.

The kids might enjoy Bozeman, but there is so much to see and do in just the two areas mentioned, you can save on the driving. Leave that as a last minute decision.

You have probably gotten this advice before, but do have a cooler for beverages and food/snacks, so you can ';hang out'; with the wildlife. Bring binoculars!

We stayed at Howlers Inn just before Christmas %26#39;07 with kids aged 10 %26amp; 11. It was a great stay, highly recommended, and we will be writing a review for TA eventually.

But having said that we only really stayed that far north so we could visit Yellowstone NP through Gardiner on a guided safari (other entrances are closed to wheeled vehicles at that time of year). After Howlers Inn we went back to West Yellowstone for a few nights.

If it were us, in summer, with only five days, we%26#39;d take the advice of CeCeDouglasville and voyaging given above. Stick with one base rather than moving around when you could be sight seeing.

I have not stayed at Yellowstone Village, but for planning purposes it is located north of West Yellowstone about seven miles and then you turn left and drive about another five miles. It is out on a piece of land on the south side of Hebgen Lake.
