Trip to Yellowstone from Seattle

I would like to plan a trip from Seattle to Yellowstone for my Wife and I and possibly a few friends. We would like to travel in summer 2008. Can anyone suggest an itinerary for a first time visit to Yellowstone?

If you start in West Yellowstone, Montana you could see the Mammoth area in one day, then go toward Old Faithful the second day, travel to Cody, Wyoming for at least 2 days and tour the eastern part of YNP for another 2 days, then make your way thru the Grand Tetons to Jackson Hole.You need to decide if you are staying in the park or not because reservations inside the park go fast.

CeCe is correct. You need reservations if you want to stay in the park. You may already have problems getting them when you want. How long do you plan to be there? When in the summer? July or August?

The lodges and cabins at Canyon are an excellent location if you want to stay one place and not move around.

We put reports from our trips, several pictures with comments and planning information for Yellowstone on our website. After you get your reservations, you might want to check it out. We tried to make it helpful to others than haven%26#39;t been there before.

Thank you AKJ, your website is great.

We plan on going in June or July. Do you think we will be okay if we just plan on getting a campsite or do those get reserved quickly? We would probably be there for 5-7 days, I%26#39;m honestly not even sure where to start planning?

The campsites don%26#39;t all take reservations. You might take a look at the NPS site. They talk about facilities and whether or not they have reservations.
