Help with Itinerary and lodging
I'm headed to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons with my boyfriend and his 8 year old daughter at the end of August. We'll have about 4 full days to play. His daughter is big equestrian and so I'd like to do a full or half day horse back riding excursion at the grand tetons. I would also like to hit some of the highlights at Yellowstone.
Do you think we can get both accomplished in that amount of time?
Any recommendations on companies to use for horse back riding?
Any recommendations of nice, upscale places to stay (preferably a spa)?

Upscale in The Tetons and one of the most expensive in National Parks is Jenny Lake Lodge.
Highlights in Yellowstone are Old Faithful and all of the Geysers in that area. Don't miss Riverside Geyser and Castle Geyser. Also try to stay in Old Faithful Inn one night, or at least have a meal there. Canyon area is also great. Lamar Valley and Hadyn Valley are good for wildlife. You can horse ride at Roosevelt Lodge in Yellowstone. We loved Roosevelt/Tower area.

Here's some planning information we put on our website. It includes some of the neater things to see (highlights).

Look at Jackson Lake Lodge and Signal Mountain Lodge in the Tetons. Both are nice and have spectacular views.
Yellowstone has nothing upscale. They offer decent lodging in the best areas. Jackson might have something more upscale but I don't know. Long way from Yellowstone. You might consider Jackson Lake and Signal Mountain upscale but not a spa.
Maybe something in West Yellowstone or a ranch up that way.

We are going to Yellowstone and Tetons in July. My family and I are also interested in horse back riding. After looking into alot of different places, I think we are going to go with Wydaho outfitters. You should check out their website, it looks amazing. It think it's about 25 miles from the town of Jackson. The website is Wydahooutfitters.com
Hope you have a great trip
