    In Summer, you will need clothing for all seasons! I would wear a tank top under a t-shirt under a long sleeve shirt under a jacket. Seriously! Throughout the day you will peel off layers and then put them back on. Oh that Rocky Mountain Weather! Definately bring hiking shoes!

    Sunscreen, Lip balm, any of your daily use products. If you forget anything, you can pick it up at the Camp Shop behind th gas station at Signal Mountain or maybe at one of the little shops in Moose. (I am sure Jackson Lodge or Jenny Lake Lodge must have those sort of little shops, but I didn't visit, so i can't say for sure)

    We brought SO much equipment, but we used every single thing. You may not have/need /want so much stuff., but I would suggest a good zoom/telephoto for wildlife shots and a good wide angle lens. A polarizer will be helpful as well.

    Well it depends on what you're doing. If not camping, I would just suggest an umbrella.

    An invaluable tool that was suggested to me by VT member Annk was the Road Guide to Yellowstone and Grand Teton. The large map is broken down into sections withe the facing page giving descriptions on what you are seeing, or what you can get off the road to see. I would read it aloud as Lou drove around the park. He very much enjoyed the commentary and we learned a lot about the parks. I picked mine up at Barnes & Noble, though you can order it online as well.
    Binoculars are another excellent thing to have along.

    In June there was a lot of snow still in the park, and we weren't really prepared for that. June is pretty hot in Florida. Even though I spent four years in Colorado Springs, I had forgotten how late the snow lingers in the mountains. So pack warm clothes because there are snowbanks in places even in July.

    Be sure that you have sufficient batteries and a large enough card for your camera
