If You're Headed to Grand Teton-BEWARE!

[ClickHill]

We just left the park after being there for a week. It took us a month of getting our days in a row, and once we had all our days there they put us in one spot for the week without having to move. We stayed in the Headwaters campground so we could visit both parks.,
The Tetons and Yellowstone didn't seem that busy, we were able to see the whole park with little crowds at our destinations, and we went from one end of the parks to the other.
Jackson hole was very busy, and crowded, but not that bad that I wouldn't go there. Everyone was wearing masks, and just enjoying themselves while being respectful.

It was a great time, but we left just hours before the cold front and snow came in. We also just made it to Salt Lake just to be rushed out because of the massive winds they are having for the next two days.

Safe travels!  Wind, for sure.  Hopefully you went south, I-15, yesterday.  The storm started here after midnight, early this morning.  Wind gusts over 50 and  I-80 across WY is closed today.

You now need reservations at both of those so you had best go online and check first. Else you will need to find a forest campground. Good luck.

These are dispersed forest ones:

Bridger-Teton National Forest - Camping & Cabins:Campground Camping

Bridger-Teton National Forest - Camping & Cabins:Campground Camping

www.fs.usda.gov

Check out Dubois too as there are a few camping spots there, and RV parks, again a bit of a drive, but unless you get one of the main ones you will have to drive.

No convenient place with consecutive nights...........so Henry's Lake is now booked.

Henry's Lake North of Island Park?
I boondocked right south of the lake in July, 17 miles from West Yellowstone and south of the Tetons, 25 miles.
If you are looking for Boondocking let us know.

It’s pretty insane! Last summer, when some of the Covid travel restrictions were lifted, a Wyoming news report stated that 50, 000 tourists per day were passing through Jackson.

This much I can report, there appears to be more rv’s on our local roadways than local traffic......and we’re no where close (too close) to Jackson! Ready to see winter with some high winds, snow, and -20’s to bring back some sanity! memtb
