You have to say I can open my presents
Hi!

My girlfriend and I are going to the US in august/september and are planning on going to Yellowstone to hike for at least a few of those days -- likely ~5 days in mid-august.

It looks like we'll be flying in to Bozeman airport north of Yellowstone and renting a car there to drive down to Yellowstone itself. From what I gather, we'll have to find a place to stay outside Yellowstone itself and then drive in for day-hikes.

What things should we generally be aware of when planning a trip like this? I realize we're probably already late on booking a place to stay etc, but hopefully we can find something if we expand our budget a bit.

We could be interested in both single day hikes and longer hikes with camping in the park itself.

Any good ressources to study online before we go?

Thanks :)

Thanks for this!

I ordered the book suggested and it's been a big help.

Slough Creek sounds great. We've already decided to do 5 days in Yellowstone (and booked campsites), so we'll try to find varied hikes there. I don't think we'll have time to see Grand Tetons this time unfortunately.
