Welcome to our Yellowstone Road Trip travel blog, showing routes to Yellowstone National Park
Welcome to the McCabe Family Yellowstone National Park 2016 Road Trip travel blog!
We leave bright and early, Saturday, June 11, 2016, and return late, Sunday, June 26, 2016. A total of 16 days of road tripping to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, Michigan's famed Upper Peninsula and the Soo Locks, in Sault Ste. Marie, then to Ashland, Wisconsin, Duluth, Minnesota, and Hibbing, Minnesota (birthplace of Bob Dylan), Fargo, North Dakota, Medora, North Dakota, and Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and on to the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, Billings, Montana, and Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
After three days in Yellowstone and Grand Teton, we head home through Wyoming, the Great Plains and the heartland of America, with more stops at Cody, Wyoming, Devil's Tower, the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, the Crazy Horse Memorial, Wall Drug, the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota, the Amana Colonies in Iowa, the sights and architecture of Chicago, and, last but not least, Dayton, Ohio, for the famed US Air Force Museum.
I traveled the same route home in 1977, with my dad, mom, and four younger brothers (Paul, Gerard, Peter, and Brendan) on our last family road trip to Banff National Park, Jasper National Park, and the Canadian Rockies, and I'll have the chance to see if I can remember any of the sights from that memorable trip (where our tent in Banff NP was visited, we think, by a grizzly bear).
Here's a birds' eye overview of our route out to Yellowstone National Park.
And here are some of our daily routes out from Philadelphia to Michigan, to Wisconsin and Minnesota, through North Dakota, and then Montana, and finally arriving in Yellowstone National Park, and staying first in Gardiner, Montana, near the north entrance to Yellowstone.
Days one and two - Philadelphia to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, with a stop in Dearborn, Michigan, for the Henry Ford Museum.
