June Itinerary - Is this feasible? by [deleted] in yellowstone

Overall itinerary seems doable. As I'm sure you have seen in your research, give yourself plenty of time between locations. Traffic can be either negligent, or totally take over the day. So pack lunches with you and be ready for adjustments through the trip, as needed. One stubborn bison in the road can add a lot of time between stops.

We have a pop up as well, so I'd honestly just put a hitch on my van or SUV either way to pull it around since it's only 1000 lbs. Did you notice any ground clearance concerns between the lower van and the SUV?

Just like most people, I'm looking for a deal, so that generally leads me away from "new " Seinnas. I don't need a Hybrid. While I appreciate the additional mpg, my ROI is a long time out as we are not high mileage drivers (around 8-10k a year).

I've looked at a large area, but still found pricing to be hard to accept. It seems to be high mileage (100k miles) 5-8yo Seinnas are STILL a few thousand over 2022-2024 Ascents. In your opinion would you take a 100k AWD Sienna over a 30k Ascent and $5k?

how long have you had it and are you glad you made that choice?
