Hey Travelers,

I'm heading with a tent trailer from Seattle to the Yellowstone then up to Glacier park

Looking for recommendations for a "must see" treasures on the way - we'll be camping so "heavenly" spots and nature attractions are what we'll be looking for.

Any special attractions in the parks are welcome too...

Cheers

Unless you have reservations in YS (don't remember whether they take them) I would recommend planning on staying in the Tetons. Just a few miles south and a much nicer park for camping in. We stayed in YS 1 night a few years ago, and had the WORST camping xperience of our lives. We moved to the Tetons the next night and stayed 5 days. We were in the southern most campground in the Tetons, it had no view since it was behind a butte, but it had large sites and great for a base camp. Jackson Hole & Yellowstone are just a short drive away and can be easily reached for day trips.

Glacier has always been our favorite park. If your car can stand the rough ride I have to recommend you stay at bowman lake, very remote area on the NW side of the park. If you don't want to stay in such a primitive area at least make the drive to Polebridge and have dinner at the Northern Lights.
