Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Yellowstone in September


Planning on one of our first big trips being from Dallas area to Yellowstone and Grand tetons for a 3 week adventure in September. Hoping that time frame allows for lots less crowds as families have to be back for school starting. Our son graduates in june so we finally free to take off peak trip to one of our dream spots. Any suggestions or any issues with travel at this time of year? would just like to take it easy with less people. please feel free to make any suggestions , routes, must see or side trips.We will be in a 34' 5er and f250 desiel

Thanks

If you plan on staying in the park you better look to reservations now. We stayed at the full service park 2 years ago and they were full every night. It's a mistake to think the park is less crowded after Labor Day. Less families, but more old codgers. biggrin
Enjoy the trip.

You should be prepared for cold weather & the possibility of snow.  It can get chilly at that time of year.  Fall is a beautiful time to be in the park, and you'll probably have great weather but it's a good idea to be prepared & be sure you'll stay warm if you do have some cold days.

A cool/cold Yellowstone (IMHO) is much better than a warm/hot Yellowstone. If you are lucky enough to see it snow while you are there you will be able to take all the same pictures you have seen on post cards and in magazines. The animals also move down out of the hills and are simply everywhere as the weather cools. Best of all....everyone is gone once the Summer is over!!!!!!!!!!
You might want to consider staying at a couple of different parks if you want to explore the entire park as it is very large and takes a lot of driving to get from one end to the other.

We been going to Yellowstone the first week of October for last 5 years, stay at Madison campgound with 31' 5th wheel.
You will want to make reservation some of site can handle a 40' 5th wheel. If want to see wildlife you have to go to the Lamar Valley north part of park that where they will be.

We went last year and still talking about it. May I suggest the book I read..."100 miles around Yellowstone" Got it off of amazon. It contains good FYI stuff. Wished my brother in law and husband would have listened to me about camping 3 nights and moving on to the next campground further up in YNP. It would have saved us a ton of driving. We stayed at Fishing Bridge for 7 nights and drove all through the park each day. Old Faithful one day, Monmoth Springs the next day, Grand Caynon of Yellowstone the next day... and really it was too much driving for all seven days. Best suggestion from me: Work your way through Yellowstone it will be more enjoyable I think. Good luck and remember your bear spray and 100 yards from bears~ Been seeing pictures posted on fb YNP site and people are within 20 feet of a momma grizzly and cubs. Not good.
