Okay. It's a done deal. This year for real.
My wife and I will be spending five nights in Yellowstone and three in the Tetons vicinity.
We'll need to stay in lodges/cabins. I'll leave my wife at the lodges while I go hiking/scrambling.
What I need is some advice. We'll want to stay at two different lodges, perhaps three. What would be the best lodge to hit first if I'm driving in from Salt Lake City? Our plan is to fly in to Salt Lake City and drive to Yellowstone. What would be the closest lodge inside the park if coming from that direction?
Also, any good recommendations for decent, inexpensive lodging close to Grand Tetons? (Like, right on the border.) I want to spend at least two days hiking in the Tetons and my wife wants to raft on the river one day.
