Thanks everyone for your input.
@VacationLover Earthtrekkers was helpful. I am basically following their 3-day itinerary.
I agree that your 2nd day looks agressive, but depends a lot on traffic and age of your kids. FWIU traffic in the park can add a lot of time. My kids are 7-12 (and a baby), so always takes longer than I anticipate. We are planning for the 2nd week of Aug.
Day 1: SW - Madison to Old Faithful. They say to see Grand Prismatic midday is best, so I think we will drive down to Old Faithful and work our way up. If there is time we can go further up to Norris Geyser Basin.
Day 2: SE - Canyon Village to West Thumb. I think my kids would enjoy boating on the lake. Any recommendations?? Anyone ever done this?
Day 3: N/NE - Mammoth Hot Springs to Tower. Then what?? Should we venture into Lamar Valley or go south and explore Tower to Canyon Village. Lamar Valley seems like a nice drive, but South seems to have places to get out and visit. Any ideas??
Day 4: Grand Teton. Probably similar to
@VacationLover But coming from Island Park, so 2 hours to get there. Is that still enough to do all this
Day 1 Any other thoughts are greatly appreciated.
