Going on a honeymoon roadtrip to Banff, Jasper, Glacier, Grand Teton and Yellowstone. Any suggestions on must hit spots or awesome car camping locations would be greatly appreciated!
So far the plan is for me to drive our car out from New York to Calgary (with my mom helping with the driving) I am a teacher and have the entire summer off. I'll be leaving about 4 days for that drive (not sure if too much or too little time). When we reach Calgary I'll drop my mom off at the airport and pick up my fiance.
We will then drive to banff and try to camp in a central location (would love suggeations) so far I was looking at tunnel mountain village. The plan is to spend 5 days there. Some of the things that we have on our list to hit are: -gondola -hot springs -lake Louise -Moraine lake/10 peaks trail -mistaya canyon -peyto lake -Johnston canyon cave *day trip or overnight to Jasper via the ice fields parkway -bow glacier falls -maligne Canyon -athabasca falls -athabasca glacier
We are then planning on going to glacier national park which I believe is a 4.5 hour drive. I want to stay at least one night at under canvas in glacier as I stayed in one in yellowstone in the past and it was awesome. But if we cannot see the entire park from that location we are going to need some campsite location suggestions, I was thinking many glacier area? We are going to spend 5 days in glacier and try to see the following: -highline trail -Grinnell glacier -pitamakin-dawsons loop -iceberg lake -siyeh pass - hidden lake overlook -Parmigiano tunnel
The last part of our trip is going to be yellowstone into tetons and then Jackson hole. We are going to drive the 7 hours down to yellowstone and spend five-six nights there. I've been there before and absolutely adore it! Things I want to see are : -hot springs (including old faithful) -mamoth hot springs - grand Canyon of yellowstone - lamar valley - grand prismatic springs - yellowstone lake - Hayden valley I would love suggestions on which direction to go around the park from the north.
We will then go south through grand teton and spend 2 days there. When I went in the past we just drove the park because we didn't have enough time. I'd love suggestions on great hikes or things to see there!
We will end the trip in Jackson hole where I'll drop my fiance off at the airport and possibly pick my mother up who will drive with me back to New York.
Tl;dr: I'm going on a honeymoon trip to banff, Jasper, glacier, yellowstone and grand tetons and would love some suggestions on places to stay, and places to hike and explore!
Thank you for your help planning our honeymoon!
