Hi,
We are planning a 14 days trip to visit several national parks including Grand Teton, Yellow Stone, Salt Lake City, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches(any missing place?). Would you please gives us some advices concerning: 1, How do we arrange the sequence of travel among these Parks? 2, Should we change lodging every one or two days or stay in one place for longer time?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Yang, Ning
Answer -
Please forgive my delay in responding. I did not receive the original e-mail.
Before I answer, I must know how you plan to travel from park to park and are you camping or staying in motels?
Again, please forgive me for not replying more quickly. Once you've told me your travel arrangements, I can be of more help!
At the moment, we plan to visit Grand Teton, Yellow Stone, Salt Lake City, Zion, Bryce Canyon and possibly Grand Canyon during 12 days. We are supposed to travel by car and stay in motel. We prefer not to stay in the Parks since it cost more.
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Yang, Ning
Answer You have a very agressive schedule for such a short period of time.
Yellowstone and Grand Tetons (in Northern Wyoming) are quite a distance from Bryce and Zion (in Southern Utah).
Do you have hotel reservations at this time or do you hope to make them when you arrive? I'd STRONGLY suggest you make them in advance. Hotel vacancy is rare in these areas.
Perhaps you'd like to spend four days touring Yellowstone/Grand Tetons, visit Salt Lake City for a couple of days, then finish your vacation at Bruce/Zion?
Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.
