Planning Tips

📆 Best Time To Visit

Visit Yellowstone and Grand Tetons between late June and early September when all park roads and facilities are open. Mid-September offers fewer crowds and potential fall colors, while winter (December-March) provides unique wildlife viewing and geothermal features amid snow, though many roads are closed.

💰 Average Daily Budget

A couple can expect to spend around $200-250/day (2025), including lodging in park accommodations or nearby towns, car rental, meals, park entrance fees, and activities like guided hikes or wildlife tours. If camping, expect to pay closer to $80-100/day.

🍽️ Must-Try Foods

Sample Western specialties like bison burgers, elk chili, and fresh trout caught from mountain streams. Don't miss hearty breakfasts at park lodges, huckleberry-flavored treats, and locally-raised beef from Wyoming ranches.

🍻 Local Drinks

Wyoming's craft beer scene includes notable breweries like Snake River Brewing (Jackson) and Melvin Brewing (Alpine). Try local spirits from Wyoming Whiskey, and don't miss the classic cowboy coffee at park lodges and western-style saloons.

📸 Must-See Views

In Yellowstone, witness Old Faithful's eruptions, explore the Grand Prismatic Spring, and visit the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. In Grand Teton, capture iconic views at Mormon Row and Schwabacher Landing, hike around Jenny Lake, and spot wildlife in Lamar Valley. Take a scenic drive through both parks' stunning landscapes for opportunities to see bison, elk, and bears.
