Ouch, that stings!
Our trip is planned and we will spend 2 weeks traveling through Wyoming and Montana. First I want to send out a big thank you for the following who helped plot our course:
Stew - we will be spending 2 days outside Lander, WY along the Wind River Range, camping sites either boondocking or staying along the Poco Agie River (Sinks Canyon SP) to get some fly fishing in. We have a couple of spots to consider staying and will just go with the flow.
Ski - We will be taking your recommended Lander Cut-Off and driving up to Green River Lakes and staying at the campground, some more fly fishing and hiking along the lake on the Continental Divide Trail. We are only spending one night there.
Frank - We have taken your recommendation to stay at Gros Vedre campground and will be spending 2 nights exploring Grand Teton NP, visiting Morman Row and Menors Ferry Historic District. Taking the gondola up into the mountains, maybe the boat across Jenny Lake. Plan on getting in some fly fishing on the Gros Ventre River. From there we are heading through Yellowstone and staying one night at Madison Campground, get some more fishing in. Discovered that you have to have a special fishing permit in Yellowstone NP so we will have to stop when we enter the park.
Foy - we will be traveling to Melrose and up into Vipond Park where we plan on spending one night, before dropping down to Dewey and Hwy 43, stopping at the Nez Pez Battlefield and up through the Bitterroot Valley to Lake Como for a night. We will head across the pass to Philipsburg to visits some mines and the local brewery, and then heading up Rock Creek, spending a night at Bitterroot Flat Campground and getting more fishing in.
Still leaving the door open to visit Missoula, MT before heading to Big Timber, MT. There we will visit my cousins ranch and another cousins cabin on the Boulder River. The last night at the Grand Hotel before heading home, with stops at Devils Tower, WY, Mount Rushmore, and Wind Cave.
A lot packed into 2 weeks with a couple of travel days on each end. We welcome any recommendations for these areas that we might be able to fit in.
Thanks, jd
