Yellowstone
We are planning on taking a car trip to Yellowstone the week of Sept.22.
What type of clothes should I pack. We are planning on spending our nights at a koa campground around Cody Wyoming. Any info would be appreciated. We are from the Texas and it is still hot as Hades here. |

Warm clothes. We were there around the middle of September 1984 and had to
leave because of a heavy snow storm. We were there in late September a few years ago and the weather, other than being cold at night, couldn't have been nicer. The weather in Yellowstone can be very unpredictable that time of year. Don in Tracy, Calif. "m. anne" wrote in message ... We are planning on taking a car trip to Yellowstone the week of Sept.22.

Any info would be appreciated. We are from the Texas and it is still hot as Hades here. We were there in late July/early August. What a zoo. I had only been there in the dead of winter prior to that, when you had to go in by snow coach. Late September should be cool days and cold nights, with a chance of snow. Be prepared for cold nights, with cold weather sleeping bags (0 degree bags). But before you worry about the weather, are you sure about spending nights in Cody? That's a heck of a drive each day, you're looking at at least five hours a day driving just back and forth to Cody, more if you're going up to the northwestern parts of the park, and gasoline is pretty expensive in that area. If the Yellowstone campgrounds are already full then consider a night in West Yellowstone and a night in Gardiner MT, and look at Moran WY as well. All have private campgrounds. It's the off-season and you should be able to find some deals at motels as well. Don't miss a soak in the Boiling River.

Cody is over 90 miles from Yellowstone NP, I'd try and find a closer campground As for clothes dress in layers, I have been in yellowstone in August when the high temperature for the day was in the 50's Keith |

I'd suggest taking US 26 from Casper WY, and going in from the southern entrance to Yellowstone through Grand Tetons. Staying in one campground the whole time may not be the best option because Yellowstone is so big. If you can't camp in the park, look at some nights in Moran, WY, some in West Yellowstone MT, and some in Gardiner MT. There's a good article about Old Faithful up at "http://nordicgroup.us/yellowstoneoldfaithful/" |

There are several fine NFS campgrounds along the Shoshone River, W of Cody. on hwy 14. If you will spend several days in the National Park, I suggest you go to one of the Park campgrounds *before noon* on any day -- there are likely to be spaces available that day. John |
