Jackson Hole is such a fun place to visit with an adorable town square, plenty of shopping down main street and just a small town feel. Jackson Drug Co. is a beloved local soda fountain that you can find right in the middle of town.
West Yellowstone
West Yellowstone (West) is a small town located in the southern part of Montana and is just outside of Yellowstone National Park. West is a great family friendly area with lots to do. It’s a great place to stay of you want to stay just outside Yellowstone and still easily get into the park daily. West has a main strip with loads of places to eat and so many fun less expensive touristy shops. Our family loved popping by the touristy shops for all the fun things.
Don’t Forget to do These Things In Yellowstone!
Yellowstone really does have so much to offer and it’s vast. You can spend all your time shuttling from one place to another to try and get all the sites in but there are things that make this trip memorable and should not be missed!
Geyser Gazer Tour in Yellowstone
So I have this thing about travel…I like to do all the things but not be rushed or overwhelmed. I’m a natural planner and so I hem and haw and research and make a list (which is of course why I became a travel planner) and then I book it. I make sure each person traveling with me has one special thing on our trip that is just for them, but that I know we will all enjoy and everything else, well those things are the “icing”. On our recent trip to Yellowstone riding in the historical antique wooden bus, it was my thing. Back in the 1920’s there were over 400 of these beauties and they shuttled people all over Yellowstone.
Mammoth Hot Springs
Mammoth Hot Springs is a thermal feature at Yellowstone National Park and is located close to the north entrance of the park. Mammoth is only minutes away from the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel and Terrace Grill.
Lewis Falls
Lewis Falls is located inside the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Lewis Falls is located in the southern portion of Yellowstone. It’s a very easy to get to and a quick drive if you’re staying outside of the southern entrance, and of course if you’re staying inside the park.
Griffith Observatory
