Yellowstone

[Marv & Jean]

Ryan:

I have visited Yellowstone 3 times in the past 4 years. Each time we
went in a M380. There are those that may disagree with me but I
would recommend the following:

1. There are nice campgrounds in and outside of the park. If you
plan on going during the summer time you need to make reservations
soon.

2. You can travel through the park in your coach but I would not
plan on using it to "see the park". In the summertime parking at
each of the features in the park are at a premium. It is difficult
and sometime impossible to find parking for a sedan much less a 40
foot coach.

3. If you really want to see the most in the shortest period of time
I would suggest taking one of the tours vans operated out of West
Yellowstone. I would also suggest one of the 16 passenger vans
rather than the 30 or 40 passenger busses. Getting 16 people on the
same page is hard enough and 30 or 40 is impossible.

Whatever you do, if you are planning on summer travel to Yellowstone,
plan and make reservations ahead. The park is normally full, the
lines are long, and RV park reservations are at a premium.

Good luck and have fun. The park is a national jewel. We should all
thank the National Park Service for keeping the park as well as they
do with limited resources. We should also thank the volunteers to
the parks for their work.

Take care
