Reservations or not??

[Hfx_Cdn]

    We traveled through southern Alberta, up through Banff & Jasper, over to Edmonton then east in early June with no difficulty.  However, this is Canada's 150 anniversary, there are a lot of celebrations and specials going on everywhere, so without local town knowledge, it is impossible to answer your question.  I would expect that you wouldn't have a problem, but I don't know.

Stovepipe wells is not run by the main concessionair like furnace creek is. I think its a private company that owns/runs it. That is why you received a discount....right??

That doesn't explain why we received a discount at Colter Bay which, I believe, is run by Xanterra, the main park concessionaire.

They do give a small discount to pass holders but not 50%. With the discount it is still overpriced.

Good morning Tom  ;D

Yes it is still pricey, but we didnt grudge it as we loved the location and being out in the wilderness  (Gros Ventre) and you can only stay for a few weeks at a time anyhow. Wouldn't want to spend that much every night. Although if you only go out a few weeks a year I guess it's acceptable.

Not sure there are many free spots around there but I suppose I should really look!

Have a lovely day, hope it's a but warmer and you're back in your shorts.  8)

It is 46 degrees here now. I used to stay at the Colter Bay Campground for free.

As real estate agents always say "location, location, location!"  Colter Bay is a great location from which to explore the Tetons.  Being able to walk to Jackson Lake for ranger talks, etc, is IMHO well worth the cost.  We would have stayed regardless of whether or not there was a discount.

It is also close to every other cool thing in the park. The Native American Museum, the Visitors Center, Oxbow Bend, and Signal Mountain.
