Road trip! Chicago to Yellowstone
Road trip! Chicago to Yellowstone
Hello! My sister and I (24F and 21F) are hoping to travel to Yellowstone from Chicago in June. We have a very tight budget, and will be taking my little sedan. We are hoping to do this round trip in 7 - 8 days (but longer if we come out under $800 per person!).
I already figured out our first full day and a half. Lots of miles with a lunch stop in Sioux Falls, the Badlands for sunset, and Hill City, SD for the night. Day 2 will be sunrise at Mt. Rushmore, a quick run to Crazy Horse and straight to west Yellowstone, MT.
On the way to Yellowstone I wrote down haunted hotels in Buffalo and Cody, WY. There’s also a ghost town called Kirwin somewhere near Cody. On the way back home, I think we might travel to South Pass City (ghost town), and through Cheyenne.
After 2-3 full days at Yellowstone, I think we could spend a day or two in Idaho or MT nearby.
I’m looking for recommendations of the following:
1) Haunted towns/places
2) Where should we travel to once we’re done with Yellowstone?
3) We have second cousins in central Minnesota, so we would be willing to come back to Chicago via MT and North Dakota rather than to Cheyenne through Nebraska/Iowa.
4) Cheap ($100-$150) and CLEAN accommodations? No motels or Super 8s.
5) And good foodie places? We will have a cooler with us to eat grocery store food most of the time, but will make exceptions for anything REALLY good.
6) Anything else we can do that is fun!!
Thank you!!
