flying from slc and renting an RV, going to Jackson Hole, Grand Tetons and Yellowstons. what should I do for the next 5 days! Glacier National Park or Mount Rushmore? Oct 1-10. Flying out of slc.

from SLC would do Glacier NP more awesome too...

No problem: Glacier NP (don't miss Many Glaciers) and adjoining Waterton Lakes NP in Alberta.

I unequivocally recommend Glacier NP over Mount Rushmore, and I've enjoyed the latter three times. HOWEVER, be aware that the status of the main feature of Glacier NP, Going to the Sun Road, needs to be watched carefully.

The road SHOULD be open during the first half of October, but a freak blizzard can come by and close it at any time of the year.

Thank you, thank you. GNP it is.
