Camping Road Trip @ Grand Teton & Yellowstone
Details
Happy Father's Day to all the good dads, step-dads, paternal guardians & foster parents, etc.
I'm currently in Denver this weekend, and yesterday, we stopped by Rocky Mountain National Park for a quick drive / visit, and it was so nostalgic to be out in nature again (after a 3 year absence).
Another group member messaged me yesterday regarding 4th of July weekend, so I'm sorry I've procrastinated so long in posting something.
My apologies this is short notice...
I'm planning on going to Glacier National Park in Montana between July 3 - 10.
If I can get everything ready in time, I might go to a Canadian National Park called Waterton Lakes National Park around July 1 - 2.
I'm perfectly fine with going solo...I need the peace and quiet after working with kids and volunteering with kids throughout the country.
Plus, it's really short / late notice, so I don't anticipate anyone else joining for Glacier.

I'll have limited phone / internet / email access in early July, but I'll try to check occasionally, every few days or so.
So yeah, gas prices are high and inflation is daunting for many -- so my expectations are low...but if anyone has the time and desire, feel free to lmk if you want to join for Grand Teton and/or Yellowstone.
Dates are flexible and open to your schedule...meaning, you're willing to arrive & leave whenever fits your schedule.
I have a campsite reserved inside
Grand Teton NP between July 13 - 16
and
Yellowstone NP between July 17 - 22

I also have a campsite for July 23 - 25, but I might need to fly to New York to volunteer for another children's camp at the end of July, so I'm tentatively thinking of staying until July 22, 23, or 24.
Oh, and if anyone is interested and has time, I highly recommend checking out a Native American Pow Wow in Browning, Montana on either July 11 or 12.

Okay, that's it for now. I'll try to add more when I return from Denver.
Drive time is around 14 - 15 hours from
OC - https://goo.gl/maps/uBiaNxgRX4xkqhWf7
LA - https://goo.gl/maps/JdNPrrTGzD1DBEXE7
Note: If checking the route now (before summer), the estimated time might be longer due to road closures due to winter...so change the departure date to the summer, and the estimate drive time should be shorter.
