Highlights en route: Chicago’s Cloud Gate (aka "The Bean") South Dakota’s Badlands NP, Wind Cave NP, and Mount Rushmore Wyoming’s Devils Tower Pro tip: The $80 annual National Parks pass is a steal! 🏕️ Stay Canyon Village Campground ($40/night for 4 nights): Central location—close to Yellowstone Canyon. Chilly nights (4°C)—pack warm sleeping gear! Shower tickets: 8 free, extras $5/person. Bonus: Laundry + free Wi-Fi at Washburn Lodge. Signal: China Mobile worked throughout! 🍳 Eat Stocked up at Cody Walmart—easy camp cooking with a propane stove (no electricity). 🌋 Must-Do Activities Grand Prismatic Spring: Hike from Fairy Falls Trailhead at noon for fog-free views. Morning Glory Pool: Artemisia Trailhead (20-min walk), best at midday to avoid glare. Mammoth Hot Springs: Sunrise shots = magic. Mount Washburn (3115m): 4-hour hike—panoramic park views! Dress warm; snow year-round. Brink of Lower Falls Trail: Afternoon = rainbow time 🌈. West Thumb Geyser Basin: Noon = optimal lighting. Norris Geyser Basin: 8AM for backlit steam drama.
