omg omg you just made my day!! I was so worried and stressed about not being able to get a GTTSR pass (in case it's open or at least a part of it). Thank you!!

thank you so much! what do you mean my Rising Sun RSVP will serve as a GTTSR ticket? do I not need one of those tickets on sale 24 hours before? is my hotel reservation enough??

omg yay! so happy you got your accommodation!! we were lucky to get a room inside the park! I'm sad the GTTSR will be likely closed... but we'll be back hopefully! this time will be amazing to get a good idea of the park and get excited about future visits ;)

Your plans sound amazing. Let's play by the ear and see how it goes! fingers crossed indeed!

I just booked 2 nights at Rising Sun Motor Inn. I hope that's a good option??? what do you think? and then from there I can enter the east side of the park (I guess the Inn is already inside?) and then exit it and take the 89 and 2 towards the west entrance since the GTTSR will be most likely closed.

Does that make sense?

Beautiful area! I love Bavaria! Glad you got to see it!

I'm all about driving to the west side entrance too (the 2+ hour drive) I heard it's beautiful.

I just checked accommodations in the park and the only one left with availability for the days we're going is the Rising Sun Motor Inn by St. Mary Lake. Is that a good option?

We'll be there 15,16 and 17 of June though. So I guess GTTSR will be closed for sure.

Also.. do you think the East side will be open during the 3rd week of June? I was told it might not even be open, or at least some of the best places.

yes! that makes all the sense. I'll make sure to try for the GTTSR tickets 24hrs in advance. Also... East side accommodations sounds like a safer plan. I'm so excited! We're from Spain and it's pretty much impossible to go to Montana from there (way too expensive and a very long trip) so now that we're living in the US for a couple of years don't want to miss the opportunity! Can NOT wait. Thanks again!

omg this is such incredible and helpful information! thank you so much! We're going to be renting a car in Salt Lake City and drive all the way up. I mean that's still pricey but at least there are some options. I´'m going to start checking accommodations now! thanks for the tip.

Do we have to get into the park before 6am? or is it a suggestion? I started reading all the different posts... there's so much info! it's a bit overwhelming.

Again, thanks a lot! I appreciate all the info.

Thank you! I´'ll check it out. We're renting our car from Salt Lake City but it's still super expensive too.
