Yellowstone - things to see and do
We are planning on a 2 week road trip to Yellowstone in the coming weeks via Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, Silverwood theme park and Missoula. Can anyone recommend any cool stuff to see / do along the way or at Yellowstone (other than the well publicised stuff - old faithful etc) Also any recommendations on which campgrounds are the best ones within Yellowstone would be great.
Thanks
Thanks

Unless my geography has gone horribly wrong, I'm pretty sure that Yellowstone is in the US?!?
So I'll move this in to the US forums, where you should have more response. Have fun.

I was looking for an opinion from the Canadian expats that might have done the same route so didn't really want it in the US forum.

Re: Yellowstone - things to see and do
Coeur d'Alene is a nice town on a beautiful lake - worth spending a night and maybe get out on the lake. Haven't been there but I've heard Sandpoint is a great little town in north Idaho. Yellowstone campgrounds might be pretty full, although when I was last there it was end of August and we got a site without any reservations. Stayed at Madison campground and woke up with buffalo all around our tents. If you're into backpacking, its also worth getting into the backcountry for some remote camping, although take all the precautions against bears. When I hiked into the Yellowstone river area in the north of the park, it was rutting season (early October) and I could hear elk bugling all night on one hillside and wolves howling all night on another hillside. Pretty amazing. Then got up at 7am to take a leak and a wolf ran past our tents.
Glacier National Park wouldn't be too much of a detour for you as well, although maybe you see enough mountains where you are.
