did the roadtrip with my dad + my then GF together by means of driving.
STopped by 1st nite @ Spokane, 2nd nite @ Billings Montana, 3rd day into the outskirts of Yellowstone park.
Spent 3 days 2 nites there, and visited old faithful geyser as well. There are some hole-in-the-wall steak shops there and it's a must visit place if you like steak.
Return trip by means of north-bound through bluegrass border crossing into Alberta, stopped by @ Calgary and then along highway 1 (stopped by @ Merritt) before heading straight back to Vancouver.
You will have to purchase daypass at the booth @ yellowstone park in order to get in there. While you are at it: you get get a map (for driving) to visit it, find some familiar/unfamiliar viewpoints and go from there.

wah!! need to spend 3 days n 2 night at yellowstone?? so much things to see ma? i was thinking only spent one day there....
these days i m planning the route and the idea is, first going east in canada, go Merritt first (coz my dog's breeder is there and I m planning to re-visit them with my dog). then leaving in the afternoon and head to kelowna -> Nelson (stay @ first night),
then next day going to Ainsworth hot spring -> Spokane (second night).
3 day - Spokane - outskirt of yellowstone (such a long drive)
4 day - Spend all day at yellowstone
5 day - Going back to Spokane (still think about this one....coz dont want to visit the same place again)
6 day - to Portland
7 day - portland - seattle - vancouver
anyone have any idea/suggestion about my plan?作者: kimball 時間: 2013-6-15 08:19
Your return trip does not look right to me. You enter the park from the north entrance and travel & sight seeing all the way down south and should leave at the south gate at day's end. From there you pass the Grand Teton and go west to Portland - there are some good places to stop by on the way like Jackson and Painted Hills. You should not go back to Spokane and then go south to Portland - waste of time and gas. It's been 15 years since I drove there last time so I don't remember too much of it so please re-confirm on the web.作者: puwawa01 時間: 2013-6-16 02:48
kimball~ thanks! I just check out the jackson and painted hills! the painted hill looks amazing and i guess i will go there and check it out. but it is such a long drive according from google map from yellowstone to painted hills. it takes around 13 hours....and from painted hill to portland takes 4+ hour......so i guess i need to find an hotel in between yellowstone and painted hill (baker city might be).
