Stay at canyon campground/lodge in the park. You can reach any part of the park easily from there.

Stay 5 days at least and add 2 for the Tetons.

Divide the park up into sections to do per day (a loop)

1. Lamar Valley (Northeast) up to Beartooth.

2. Old faithful and geyser areas (South West)

3. Canyon area and lake, maybe?

4. Mammoth springs (NorthWest)

5. Lake and/or maybe drive out to Cody for a museum and rodeo?

We flew into Denver and drove up and hit RMNP as well. Then flew out through salt lake city. So we entered thr park from the south and left through the west. So we managed to see pretty much the whole park that way and didn't do alot of backtrack driving.


Rent or buy a 200-600mm zoom lens.

Some things to do...

1. Talk the short hike to the grand prismatic overlook.

2. Get to Lamar Valley before sunrise. It's worth it, I promise. There are some sites where you can find out where the wolves will probably be too.

3. Canyon at sunrise.

4. Look at the geyser stops ahead of time and pic out some you want to see. There are lots of them and some stops are better than others.

5. Take your time! Staying in the park is great cause you can take early and late evening drives for wildlife. I'd get a cooler and stock up before you go in and try not to have to come out as much as possible.
