Return to Jackson via Highway 22 to wrap up your time in Grand Teton or continue on to lodging between the Grand Teton and Yellowstone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/yellowstonegrandloop.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"985\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/yellowstonegrandloop-985x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17797\" style=\"width:700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/yellowstonegrandloop-985x1024.png 985w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/yellowstonegrandloop-289x300.png 289w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/yellowstonegrandloop-768x798.png 768w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/yellowstonegrandloop-1478x1536.png 1478w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/yellowstonegrandloop-1971x2048.png 1971w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/yellowstonegrandloop-640x665.png 640w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/yellowstonegrandloop.png 2040w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 985px) 100vw, 985px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_Four_Southeast_Yellowstone_%E2%80%93_Grand_Canyon_of_the_Yellowstone_Hayden_Valley\"><\/span>Day Four: Southeast Yellowstone &#8211; Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone &amp; Hayden Valley<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Start your Yellowstone experience with one of the park\u2019s most striking landscapes, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, my favorite area of the park. This colorful canyon stretches over 20 miles and reaches depths of 1,200 feet, with the Yellowstone River cutting through its center. Several overlooks and short trails give you different views of the canyon and its famous waterfalls. Many stops are close together, so it&#8217;s easy to see several viewpoints in a single visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_7004-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_7004-1024x563.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17955\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_7004-1024x563.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_7004-300x165.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_7004-768x422.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_7004-1536x844.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_7004-2048x1125.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_7004-640x352.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Artist Point<\/strong> is the most popular and photogenic stop. From here, you\u2019ll see the Lower Falls perfectly framed by the canyon\u2019s golden and rust-colored rock walls. It\u2019s one of the best places in the park for a family photo. The viewpoint is a short walk from the parking lot and suitable for all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Brink of the Lower Falls Trail<\/strong> takes you to the very top of the falls. The trail is just 0.7 miles round-trip but includes a steep descent and climb back. The reward is a dramatic, up-close view of the falls crashing over the edge\u2014it\u2019s loud, windy, and unforgettable. This trail is best for families with older kids who can handle the grade and want to get close to the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lookout Point<\/strong> offers a different angle of the Lower Falls, perfect if you want a stunning view without the hike. Just below it, <strong>Red Rock Point<\/strong> requires a short but steep trail down to a lower platform for an even closer view of the waterfall. It\u2019s a great alternative to Uncle Tom\u2019s Trail if you want something less intense but still adventurous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/haydenvalleybuffaloyellowstone.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/haydenvalleybuffaloyellowstone-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/haydenvalleybuffaloyellowstone-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/haydenvalleybuffaloyellowstone-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/haydenvalleybuffaloyellowstone-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/haydenvalleybuffaloyellowstone-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/haydenvalleybuffaloyellowstone-640x480.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/haydenvalleybuffaloyellowstone.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the afternoon, head south to <strong>Hayden Valley<\/strong>, one of the best places in the park to see wildlife.

The visitor center posts eruption times for major geysers in the area, including Old Faithful (approximately every 90 minutes), Grand Geyser, Riverside Geyser, and Castle Geyser. If you can time it right, <strong>Grand Geyser<\/strong> is especially impressive\u2014its eruption can last up to 12 minutes and shoot over 150 feet in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After watching Old Faithful, take the boardwalk trails through the Upper Geyser Basin. Plan about 2 hours to explore this area on foot, depending on how many geysers you want to wait for. The paths are mostly flat and well-maintained. While not all trails are stroller-friendly, many families find umbrella strollers manageable\u2014just be mindful of the occasional bump or step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/grandprismaticoverlookyellowstoneNP.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/grandprismaticoverlookyellowstoneNP-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/grandprismaticoverlookyellowstoneNP-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/grandprismaticoverlookyellowstoneNP-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/grandprismaticoverlookyellowstoneNP-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/grandprismaticoverlookyellowstoneNP-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/grandprismaticoverlookyellowstoneNP-640x480.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/grandprismaticoverlookyellowstoneNP.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Later in the day, head north to the Midway Geyser Basin. This is where you&#8217;ll find <strong>Grand Prismatic Spring<\/strong>, Yellowstone\u2019s most colorful and recognizable hot spring. Walk the boardwalk to view the spring up close, then drive a few minutes north to the Fairy Falls Trail parking lot to access the overlook. The hike to the overlook is about 0.6 miles one way on a wide, gravel trail. It\u2019s slightly uphill but doable for most families, and the view from above is worth the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t skip <strong>Excelsior Geyser Crater<\/strong> while you\u2019re in Midway. Once an erupting geyser, it\u2019s now a massive hot spring that pours 4,000 gallons of water into the Firehole River every minute.

It\u2019s a good first stop for families with younger kids due to its flat, wide boardwalk. The <strong>Back Basin<\/strong> loop is about 1.5 miles and takes around 60\u201390 minutes to walk. Here you\u2019ll find <strong>Steamboat Geyser<\/strong>, the tallest active geyser in the world, though it erupts unpredictably. <strong>Echinus Geyser<\/strong> is another key feature, once one of the few acid geysers in the world that erupted regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Norris is a great place for older kids and teens who are curious about science. It\u2019s one of the most geologically dynamic spots in Yellowstone, and the visitor information panels explain the chemistry, heat flow, and changes happening beneath the surface.

The walkway climbs gently, but it\u2019s worth it to explore the different levels. If mobility or time is a concern, you can also drive to the <strong>Upper Terraces<\/strong> and stop at scenic pullouts for quick photos and views of the active formations from above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While in Mammoth, plan a stop at the <strong>Albright Visitor Center<\/strong> to learn about Yellowstone\u2019s history and wildlife. If the timing works, take a short detour to the <strong>Boiling River<\/strong>, a spot where a hot spring mixes with the cold Gardner River. Though swimming isn\u2019t always permitted, dipping your feet in the warm water can be a fun, relaxing break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay the night in Gardiner or Mammoth.

The area also has restrooms, a general store, and a small overlook of the canyon\u2014an easy stop with big payoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blacktail-plateau-drive.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blacktail-plateau-drive.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blacktail-plateau-drive.jpg 900w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blacktail-plateau-drive-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blacktail-plateau-drive-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/blacktail-plateau-drive-640x427.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you head east toward Lamar Valley, consider a quick detour onto <strong>Blacktail Plateau Drive<\/strong>. This one-way, gravel road offers quieter scenery and the chance to spot wildlife away from the main loop. If your group is up for a short hike, the <strong>Lost Lake Loop<\/strong> near Roosevelt Lodge is a moderate 2.8-mile trail through forests and meadows, often overlooked by crowds. Another good option is the <strong>Trout Lake Trail<\/strong>\u2014a short but steep 1.2-mile round-trip hike to a peaceful alpine lake that\u2019s popular with photographers and offers great wildlife viewing in the early morning or evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lamar Valley<\/strong> is often called \u201cYellowstone\u2019s Serengeti\u201d for good reason. This wide, open valley supports massive herds of bison, elk, and pronghorn, as well as predators like wolves and bears. Look for groups of people with spotting scopes\u2014these are usually wildlife watchers who\u2019ve found something interesting. The best times for sightings are early morning and late evening, when animals are more active and temperatures are cooler. Bring binoculars, pack some snacks, and be ready to pull over at multiple spots along the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/lamarvalleyinyellowstone.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/lamarvalleyinyellowstone-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/lamarvalleyinyellowstone-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/lamarvalleyinyellowstone-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/lamarvalleyinyellowstone-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/lamarvalleyinyellowstone-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/lamarvalleyinyellowstone-640x480.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/lamarvalleyinyellowstone.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For safety, always view wildlife from a distance\u2014at least 100 yards for bears and wolves, and 25 yards for bison and elk. Never approach animals, even if they seem calm, and always keep kids close in areas known for wildlife activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wrap up your trip in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/yellowstone-national-park-northeast-entrance-big-family-hotels-sleep-5-6-7-8\">Cooke City<\/a><\/strong> for a quick look at this tiny mountain town before turning back, or head back toward Gardiner for your final night. Either way, the northeast section offers a quieter, less visited side of Yellowstone to end your week on a high note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-cd7852cd uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-left uagb-infobox-left uagb-infobox-stacked-tablet uagb-infobox-image-valign-top\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-icon-wrap\"><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path d=\"M0 256C0 114.6 114.6 0 256 0C397.4 0 512 114.6 512 256C512 397.4 397.4 512 256 512C114.6 512 0 397.4 0 256zM371.8 211.8C382.7 200.9 382.7 183.1 371.8 172.2C360.9 161.3 343.1 161.3 332.2 172.2L224 280.4L179.8 236.2C168.9 225.3 151.1 225.3 140.2 236.2C129.3 247.1 129.3 264.9 140.2 275.8L204.2 339.8C215.1 350.7 232.9 350.7 243.8 339.8L371.8 211.8z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><p class=\"uagb-ifb-title\">Use our <a href=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/yellowstone-guide-explore-ne-grand-loop-drive-from-mammoth-hot-springs-to-tower-roosevelt-to-canyon-village\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Yellowstone northeast loop <\/strong>guide<\/a> to navigate the day\u2019s stops.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/yellowstone-lewis-falls.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/yellowstone-lewis-falls-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/yellowstone-lewis-falls-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/yellowstone-lewis-falls-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/yellowstone-lewis-falls-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/yellowstone-lewis-falls-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/yellowstone-lewis-falls-640x480.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/yellowstone-lewis-falls.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_and_Stock_Up\"><\/span>Where to Stay (and Stock Up)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the most of your time in Grand Teton and Yellowstone, consider booking hotel rooms or cabins at different locations around the parks. Staying in multiple spots helps reduce drive time and makes it easier to explore each area at a relaxed pace\u2014especially when traveling with kids. The following route pairs lodging recommendations with convenient places to restock supplies along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jackson_Wyoming\"><\/span>Jackson, Wyoming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start your trip in <a href=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/grand-teton-national-park-big-family-hotels-sleep-5-6-7-8\">Jackson<\/a>, a charming western town with plenty of lodging, restaurants, and shops. It\u2019s the best place to prepare before heading into the parks. Jackson has a full-size Albertsons grocery store, perfect for loading up on snacks, drinks, and picnic items. You\u2019ll also find outdoor gear shops and restaurants suitable for families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Colter_Bay_Village_Grand_Teton\"><\/span>Colter Bay Village (Grand Teton)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For your time in Grand Teton, consider staying at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gtlc.com\/lodges\/colter-bay-village\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colter Bay Village<\/a> near Jackson Lake. It&#8217;s close to hiking trails and scenic turnouts and offers a quieter, more immersive national park experience. The village has a general store for basic groceries and camping supplies, but options are limited\u2014plan to bring what you need from Jackson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"West_Yellowstone_Montana\"><\/span>West Yellowstone, Montana<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you move north into Yellowstone, staying in <a href=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/yellowstone-national-park-west-entrance-big-family-hotels-sleep-5-6-7-8\">West Yellowstone<\/a> is ideal for exploring the geyser basins and Old Faithful area. This town is just outside the west entrance and has a good selection of hotels and eateries. Stock up at one of two grocery options: Food Roundup Supermarket or Market Place, both located on Canyon Street. These stores carry a solid selection of groceries and essentials for families on the go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gardiner_Montana\"><\/span>Gardiner, Montana<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>End your trip with a stay in <a href=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/yellowstone-national-park-north-entrance-big-family-hotels-sleep-5-6-7-8\">Gardiner<\/a>, near Yellowstone\u2019s north entrance. This location makes it easy to access Mammoth Hot Springs and Lamar Valley. For supplies, visit Gardiner Market\u2014a local grocery store with produce, snacks, and ready-to-eat options. It\u2019s smaller than what you\u2019ll find in Jackson or West Yellowstone, but convenient for final-day needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Booking your lodging in a loop like this keeps drive times manageable and lets you focus on the sights instead of spending hours in the car. Be sure to reserve accommodations early, especially if you\u2019re visiting in summer or traveling with a big group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Madison-River-Yellowstone.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Madison-River-Yellowstone.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Madison-River-Yellowstone.jpg 900w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Madison-River-Yellowstone-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Madison-River-Yellowstone-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sixsuitcasetravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Madison-River-Yellowstone-640x360.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Our_Guides_to_Build_Your_Dream_Itinerary\"><\/span>Use Our Guides to Build Your Dream Itinerary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can adjust this 7-day plan to fit your travel style.
