Yellowstone National Park Travel Forum

Hi

I would like to visit Yellowstone Park for a week - any cheap flights from Seattle or Vancouver, Canada - any suggestions regarding accommodation? i will be travellling alone so I would like to join a tour group? any suggestions. Thank you.

If you look at the web site for the city of West Yellowstone you can find really in expensive lodging. The closest larger airport from West Yellowstone is in Bozeman. You will have to rent a car to get there, but the drive is beautiful! You might call the hotels for more information.

It depends very much on whether you want to spend the whole week within the park or be based nearby. Do you want to camp out in the park and do some serious hiking? There are various lodging options ranging from campsites to luxury hotels both within the park and in the surrounding towns. Tour options include coach trips, guided hikes, horse riding, rafting and much more - for an overview try www.yellowstonenationalpark.com

As the previous reply says, the nearest airport is Bozeman - Horizon Air (Alaskair.com) has a daily flight from Seattle. karststage.com provides shuttle services from the airport to West Yellowstone and Big Sky (and also does tours).

I've only visited in the winter and taken a snowbus day tour (which was GREAT!) and so don't know about what is available in August. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

It really does depend on what you want to do.
