Just before the Warm River Campground is a fish feeding platform. GPS to the campground. When you’re almost there, you’ll see a turn off on the left with ample parking for a couple cars along the river. Bring white bread & tear it into pieces. The farther into the water you throw it, the bigger fish you will attract.
No fishing allowed from the platform, just fish feeding. Kids love it.

One the of most beautiful Hot Springs I’ve visited. Its along the Snake River with beautiful mountains all around. Last time I was there, a bald eagle flew overhead. It’s small so reservations are required & you’ll want to make them early.

Let’s talk Yellowstone! It’s an amazing destination that gets very busy during summer months. Plan ahead to get there early in the morning & weekdays will be less crowded.
You will receive a map & newsletter with the latest updates at the entrance gates & visitors centers.
Take a jacket, even on the hottest days, as well as sunscreen & mosquito repellent.
Old Faithful & Grand Prismatic are top attractions. Be prepared to spend time parking. Start your day at the attraction you don’t want to miss.
Expect some traffic & stay all day, if possible.

Just over an hour away (depending on traffic) GTNP is beautiful! The Teton Mountains are stunning, the lakes are crystal clear, and wildlife is abundant. Like Yellowstone NP, it gets very busy in the summer so expect traffic.
The Gros Ventre area is worth exploring, Mormon Row is a group of barns & old homes that present perfect photo op with the Tetons in the background. Jenny Lake is not to be missed.

Grand Teton National Park is a true taste of the American West. The mountains, lakes, grazing lands, and streams support a variety of wildlife.
Sunrise & shortly before sunset provide the best opportunity for seeing animals. Taking side roads & getting off the beaten path also increase your chances of spotting animals and seeing lesser known sites with less people around during the busy summer months.
The Moulton Barn, one of the most photographed barns in the US, is on Mormon Row where there are several historic buildings.
