Your hotel probably has a $3 off coupon they"ll give you. With the coupon it makes it $26. In JH our favorite restaurant was the brewery- not the Thai brewery, but the other one. Good beer (my dh says) & good food.

We entered Yellowstone from the south entrance and went up the western side, staying in Gartiner last night, and doing the eastern side today, then back around to the western side. Along the western side is where you see the wildlife- yesterday we saw elk in the river, buffalo alongside the road in the meadows, and mtn goat up on the rocky hillsides. We stopped at several of the geyser basins. That is incredible. The one called paint pots were my favorites- very colorful. We went to old faithful but she had just blown her top so we're making our way around there again today. We know an @ time frame now. I hope you have a great trip. I'm sure it'll be beautiful. The wildfires out west has made the mtns. a bit hazy looking, but still beautiful in all their majesty! Enjoy!
Wow, thanks for all the great info. The quilt shop, brewery and tram are definitely on my list. We are staying ten days so maybe we will see everything----including a grizzly!!!!!!!!!!!
