We have a week reserved at Island Park Village Resort in ID in August 2009. Is there a website or book that describes the rooms at the various Yellowstone Hotels and/or Cabins? Also, what are the airports that folks use for flying to Yellowstone?
Xanterra runs the in-park hotels at Yellowstone (and alot of the other national parks as well). If you go to the Yellowstone Park website there is a link to hotel/cabin accomondations. There it gives info on all the types of rooms available and the cost per night.
I've already made our reservations for our tip in July 2009 but as we are staying at Yellowstone Village just outside the park, I may end up cancelling the rooms inside the park (and saving that $$) as I am told by former park travelers that I shouldn't have trouble getting back to the timeshare at the end of a long day. IPV is quite a bit farther away and staying a night or 2 in the park might be worth the $$.
As for where to fly into, I am wondering that as well. I am leaning toward Salt Lake City so far. I need a major airport with car rental, ability to return the car to a different location (we are planning to end at Glarcier Park), etc. We love visitng the national parks but some of them are such a PIA to get to!
