 Grand Teton view by toonsarah
We spent 3 days in Yellowstone, which I would say was about right for us (but allow more if you want to see absolutely everything, or intend to do some of the longer hikes). We only allowed 1 day for Grand Teton, based on advice given us by a friend who'd visited previously (not a VT-er!), and this wasn't really enough.
Go to Yellowstone for the geysers and other geological phenomena, the spectacular canyon and the wild animals, especially bison. For me the great attraction of Grand Teton is the mountain scenery, and also the (relative) lack of crowds.
For lots of tips to help you plan, check out the National Parks websites:

 Flags over Wyoming by toonsarah

This is the official tourism website for the state. It’s a bit clunky in places but packed with useful info and well-supplied with external links. I found many of the best accommodations here – the info about them on this site might be limited but there are links to the motel or B&B’s own website if you want to investigate further. You can also order a useful trip planning pack which includes a reasonable road map.

This is another useful general website for holiday planning, though more commercial in its approach.
http://www.byways.org/browse/states/WY/
We enjoyed getting off the main roads and exploring the scenic byways in Wyoming – this website helped us identify the highlights on each route and plan where to stop for a walk or a picnic lunch.

If like us you enjoy staying in B&Bs you’ll find this website very helpful. We discovered the excellent Spahn’s Bighorn B&B through this route.
http://www.nps.gov/state/WY/r /> One of the highlights of any visit to Wyoming has to be the National Parks (Yellowstone and Grand Teton), so the National Park Service website is a must. And don’t forget the Devils Tower National Monument, the lesser known Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area and the various historic sites.

 Memorial plaque at
Register Rock by toonsarah
Check out Register Rock and the Oregon Trail Wagon Ruts near Guernsey and Fort Laramie for the former. For western "heros" go to Old Trail Town in Cody to see the Hole in the Wall Cabin, or to Laramie's Wyoming Territorial Prison to see where Butch Cassidy was once incarcerated, or to Sundance to learn how the Kid got his name.

Old Faithful is great, but the best thing we did in Yellowstone was stop to see some of the other geysers in the area. We witnessed Fan and Mortar Geyser erupting, which hadn't erupted in 8 years! (It is in the upper basin near the Morning Glory pool.) There was a team of scientists there thinking that it may or may not erupt sometime that day. It teased us with small spurts and bubbles for quite some time, while we debated to wait & see if it was going to happen. What a thrill when it actually started going! The water was spraying above our heads and in all directions against the blue sky. So, I guess my point is, try to see something in addition to the old standards - you might just witness something rare. Leave a Comment

We woke up early to move camp from Yellowstone to the Tetons as we knew there was a small but great campground there that was said to fill up early. The ride over was too amazing to not stop for some photos and it became apparent that another couple had the same thing on their minds. We leap-frogged our way with stops to the next campground and both were lucky to get spots, or so we thought. After setting up, we learned a lot of people had left early due to a black bear wrecking havoc in the campground. Quite a few tents were torn into and though no one was hurt, it made for a less then relaxing camping experience. We had a full day after setting up including a hike and a trip to a brewery so I figured nothing could keep me from sleeping . . . except for the commotion that ensued. People yelling, talking, bear trap being set off a few times without success until they did finally catch the critter. Leave a Comment
