My 50 State Adventures
Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Tetons
Three epic National Parks in one road trip
In 2020 we visited Yellowstone for our honeymoon. It was the first time I had visited a National Park, and I fell absolutely in love. We only had 2 days at the park because we drove from Minnesota and only had a week total. Originally, we had booked our honeymoon in Maine, but Covid locked the state down, so we improvised and drove west.
I had initially planned a camping trip through North Dakota to Glacier National Park to mark two states off of our list to 50 states. When researching and planning our vacations, I saw the Grand Tetons and realized how much I wanted to see the Park. So, I rearranged and rather than driving out we decided to fly in and visit The Grand Tetons, Yellowstone and Glacier in one trip. We are also now saving North Dakota for our last state.
