From Portland to yellowstone

Hi everybody, i planned to visit Vancouver in August, then we%26#39;ll go to Seattle, Astoria, cannon Beach, Portland.

From Portland to yellowstone

Dear Francesco, it%26#39;s a good choice to drive the Columbia Gorge highway. You might find time to stop at Multnomah Falls, to walk some of the beautiful trail there and to eat in the lodge.

Ontario would not be my choice of a place to stop, unless you have a reason to. I would drive the extra 60 miles to Boise.

Stanley, at the foot of the Sawtooth Mountains, is a great choice to stop. If you are a confidant mountain driver, I would suggest taking Highway 21 from Boise, through Idaho City, Lowman, and finally to Stanley. From Stanley, take Highway 20 to Highway 75 to see Craters of the Moon on your way to Yellowstone.

This late in the year, reservations inside Yellowstone National Park will probably all be taken, but there are plenty of places to stay both in Jackson and in West Yellowstone.

For many suggestions on what to see in Yellowstone, check the Yellowstone National Park forum.

Have a great trip,

Pug
