| Definitely plan a stop in Cody as mentioned above, it's a great town. Just a matter of personal opinion, but a week is probably longer than I would want to spend in Yellowstone when you're within easy reach of hitting several other places that might be even more enjoyable. Doing some stuff in the Black Hills/Custer Park areas on the way out or back I would for sure recommend- although in the August time frame you would want to plan around the Sturgis rally somewhat.
Go find the state tourism websites for say Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota etc. and they will send you some very helpful literature for free which will include info for parks, lodging, other attractions. |
