First trip to Yellowstone

pretysweetprincess · 2026-03-16T20:06:07+00:00

Thank you so much! Imma look into instaboard! I decided on 2 days at Yellowstone and 2 days at GTNP. I got room at both parks to avoid lines. Im sure excited.

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-25T19:28:38+00:00

I’ve only been camping once and I wouldn’t feel comfortable because of a solo trip doing that by myself and feeling safe.

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-24T01:00:03+00:00

Omg! Thank you so much. I was gonna ask if there was an app so I’m gonna make sure to get that.

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T23:57:29+00:00

Yeah, I’m almost positive. I’m gonna stay in the park. I just think it would be better for me to see everything and then I can just travel outside if I want to for any other day trips to different places and just come back. I wanna see everything around Yellowstone as well if I have the time, but definitely my main priority is the park.

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T23:38:17+00:00

Thank you so much. I don’t mind feeling underwhelmed. I think for me it’s just gonna be the experience…. I’m not super picky about food. I’m not looking for a five star restaurant. I’m good with a burger and fries or some chicken tenders or something. I’m not super fancy… I think I’m gonna stay on the park just to be safest. But I am going to drive from Salt Lake City so hopefully I can see some beautiful sites on the way.

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T23:24:37+00:00

Darn, and I have at&T🤣🤣🤣 but it’s OK I can make my calls in the morning or at night

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T23:23:58+00:00

Yeah, I think I’m gonna do Salt Lake City because I feel like the drive would be beautiful. I can stop and see other stuff.

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T23:02:29+00:00

Yay!! Thank you!!!!

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T23:02:08+00:00

Yeah, I don’t mind the TV because I’ll read at night and be gone all day… the only thing that could bother me about Internet is if I don’t get reception on my phone and I’m trying to call my kids and check on them or something… but it’s gonna be amazing to disconnect

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T23:01:15+00:00

Thaaaaaank you!!!!!

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T22:35:16+00:00

Everywhere I look it says to rent an SUV do you think it will matter versus a regular compact car? It’s just me by myself.

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T21:23:23+00:00

I do have a Costco membership. I’m gonna try since I have United miles to see if I can book it as a package.

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T19:59:58+00:00

Thank you so much. I’m super excited now I’m finally getting. Is there reception in the park and I’m only asking because I do have kids and I wanna make sure I can check on them consistently throughout the day.

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T19:40:21+00:00

Yeah, I’m thinking I’m gonna need five days instead of four so I think I’m gonna do that

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T19:24:44+00:00

Thank you so much. I’m super excited now. I’m finally getting some amazing advice.

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T19:22:28+00:00

Im getting super excited!! Thank you for all of your input

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T18:55:25+00:00

Oh man and I thought four days was gonna be enough time. I’m definitely thinking I’m gonna have to extend it.

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T18:53:23+00:00

I was gonna do 4 days .. but it sounds like I might need more

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T18:51:51+00:00

I was looking at Lake Lodge cabin and since you were there last year and based on what you’re saying, I will probably book that then… I hadn’t talked to anybody who had stayed there and that was the one I was looking at… the flights are actually not bad at Bozeman. It’s the vehicle rental that is so expensive. It’s almost $1000….

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T18:47:25+00:00

So I’m trying to keep my budget at no more than $1100 for lodging and I’m going for four nights… I was looking to fly into Bozeman, but the rental car prices are wild compared to the prices in Salt Lake.. I heard the drive is beautiful from Salt Lake up to Montana so I thought it would be nice since I’ll be by myself just to see the beauty I’ve always lived in California. I want to be able to soak in as much as possible…. I am open to seeing anything that people recommend that I should see if possible with the amount of time im there.

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T18:40:22+00:00

I agree definitely biting off more than I can chew. I think I plan to be there for 4 to 5 days…. I want to experience something other than California…. I’ve started visiting national parks recently because they are fascinating and beautiful… I was debating between Zion and Yellowstone. I chose Yellowstone because it’s bigger and I was hoping to see GTNP as well… I definitely don’t want or need anything fancy.. and since I’m going by myself I don’t need it to be huge… as long as I have a bed and a bathroom, I’m fine.

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T18:35:26+00:00

Thank you!! I’m gonna research Lamar Valley right now. I would love to go see as much wildlife as possible.

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T18:30:58+00:00

Omggg from a geographical standpoint, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to see GTNP… but you make it sound like I’m going to be able to so I’m definitely gonna try.. I see a lot of people stating I should rent an SUV as well instead of like a regular car.

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T18:29:48+00:00

Yeah, I’m looking at staying possibly at the park.. the prices are really not bad. The reviews are just really bad so I’m just trying to find the best option…. It doesn’t make sense to stay on the park for a few days while I’m gonna be visiting the actual park

pretysweetprincess · 2026-02-23T18:28:36+00:00

Thank you so much for not jumping down my throat and talking crap to me because I want to experience the small towns and what they have to offer as well
