just started costing some of these stops up - $450-600 a night in Jackson
You do pay a premium for Hotels near Yosemite at the best of times and I think I mentioned earlier about rooms and cabins within the park that suddenly don't seem too bad value. The cabins (or lodge) at Canyon village meant we could have a full day off from driving as there was a path leading directly to the rim of the Grand canyon of the Yellowstone.

I'll post some pics once we're actually on the trip :)
We love to see other members trip unfold into reality and have the Roadtrip Field reports section if you'd like to share your adventures and thought with us !

Your going to have a lot of fun but if you have any more questions in the meantime, don't hesitate to ask.
