trip to Yellowstone
A buddy and I are going from Michigan out to Yellowstone in early July. I am looking for info on places to stay, places to avoid, and nice side trips. We are planning on going to Rushmore, Beartooth, Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Park, through Colorado to Colorado Springs and then heading back east toward home. I would appreciate any help y'all might be able to give us.

We usually do 400-500 miles a day unless we are stopping somewhere to look at something. We try to stay off the slab as much as possible. We don't have any set time to get back but we are thinking 10-12 days.

When in Yellowstone...
We stayed in West Yellowstone when we visitied Yellowstone NP. Highly reccommend it. No reservations. And some very good resturants. Then headed east through Cody and caught the last couple of days of Sturgis. Your going to see some awsome country. Have a GREAT time as I know you will.

Plan on Badlands, Custer, Deadwood, Mt Rushmore, Devils Tower, Battle of Little Bighorn, Beartoth Hiway, Yellowstone, and RMNP. 15 to 16 day trip. We are in NC too, near Charlotte.

In Red Lodge, MT, you can't beat The Yodeler Motel. Owned by bikers and it's 2 blocks from downtown. Big hot tub, too! http://www.yodelermotel.com/
I recommend renting a cabin inside Yellowstone National Park. We stayed in a "rustic cabin" at Lake in the park. It was great! I booked it in April for July 4th weekend and got the last cabin available...book early! Book through the NPS website.
Cody, WY - The Irma Hotel is where it's at. Built by Buffalo Bill in the early 1900's. The original bar is still there...really neat stuff! http://www.irmahotel.com/
If you plan on staying in Jackson, WY, the Anvil Motel is centrally located in town, about 3 blocks from the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar. Covered bike parking out back, too. http://www.anvilmotel.com/
Estes Park, CO - It's pricey, but the Stanley Hotel is awesome. Harry and Lloyd (from "Dumb & Dumber") and Stephen King can't be wrong. King got his inspiration for "The Shining" after staying here. Yes, it's haunted (if you believe in that superstitious-hokus-pokus stuff). http://www.stanleyhotel.com/

I highly recommend Red Lodge MT and the Beartooth pass!!!!! Cody and Jackson are pretty cool too. I you want any Wyoming info feel free to ask me. I am a Wyomingite born in a town about 20 miles from Cody and now live about 90 miles south of Jackson and have live in Wyomin 35+ (cough, cough) years. Have fun on your trip!!
