Seattle to Yellowstone

[W. A. Robison]

Following an Alaska cruise in the spring, we plan to drive from Seattle to Denver-- leaving Seattle on May 23 and flying out of Denver on June 5. We would like to spend 3-5 days visiting Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. What other things can we plan? Will we have time to drive any of the Washington-Oregon coast before heading eastward? Any and all suggestions are welcomed-- must-see places, accommodations, etc. Thanks.

On your way (sort of) from Seattle to Yellowstone --

Mt. Rainier National Park, Washington
Mt. St. Helens volcano, Washington

After Yellowstone, before heading to Denver -

drive out the northeast exit "Beartooth Highway" toward Red Lodge Montana. Then take the "Chief Joseph Highway" to CODY, Wyoming. See the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody.
