RV to GTNP and YNP: seeking itinerary advice

Looking for some friendly advice in this little adventure in June/July. We are renting an RV in SLC driving to GTNP and YNP. Wondering what you think. We love to hike, so that%26#39;s what we plan on doing in each place.

June 28th - arrive at 1030A --%26gt; get RV --%26gt; drive to Grand Teton National Park (stay in RV Park there)

June 29th - explore Grand Tetons (morning and afternoon) then drive to Fishing Bridge RV Park (3 hours driving ?)

June 30 - morning - Avalanche Peak Hike (approx 5 hours ?) then drive to Canyon - see Hayden Valley on the way, pull offs at N. Rim/S. Rim, see Artist Point (1-2 hours driving)

July 1 - morning - Mt Washburn hike --%26gt; after hike drive to Grant Village (2.5-3 hours driving)

July 2 - early AM - drive to Old Faithful (1/2 day) - begin drive to Salt Lake City exiting through west exit (potential 5-7 hours driving)

July 3 - AM flight to Colorado

-- worth spending whole day in Grand Tetons?

-- specific hikes ok?

-- doable?

Thanks in advance!

I would check prices for renting an RV out of SLC or out of Jackson WY. That may save you quite a bit in mileage costs. You could fly into Jackson from SLC. Just an idea. That would give you a bit more time.

I would spend what you have planned at Tetons. It is a beautiful place, and some wonderful hikes. You sound like you are in shape and able to hike those mountain trails in YS.

Driving an RV in YS can be difficult. You can not just pull over easily if you see wildlife.

Have fun and I hope some other folks will post with more info. I am planning my first trip back to YS area in many years.

Geez.... I meant to say check prices out of Jackson WY too. You may end up saving money.
