YELLOWSTONE - Here I come!
Last Summer, I took my entire family including my parents to the Yellowstone National Park. It was a blast! but it did require months of planning and patience :) Here is my blog to help others who are planning a trip to the Famous National Park, so hopefully you will have a smoother faster planning.
Itinerary - Seattle to Yellowstone in an RV!
You might be wondering why it took so long to get from Seattle to Yellowstone, and ...why we did only 3 days in Yellowstone?
Traveling in an RV with 6 family members requires a ton of time and patience. Hence, we made many stops between trips, enjoying the travel than just the destination were our priorities atleast mine ;)
Rest assured we did cover all the major spots at the Park, thanks for the daily planning and guided tours (huge shout out to Matt& Cheryle from https://wereintherockies.com) that we purchased ahead of time.
BUY YOUR PASS: There is a National Park pass you will need to buy, which is the entrance fee. It is available here: https://www.recreation.gov/sitepass/72451- Reserve and Plan ahead!
