Denver and Glacier National Park

[Anonymous]

We are thinking of combining these two destinations in a summer vacation about 10 days long.
Feedback appreciated.
Please recommend any nice lodges or resorts in either of these areas that could be a home base for exploring.
Thanks!

They are a long way from each other. Are you planning on driving between CO and MT?

We were planning to drive a rental car.
Fly into one destination and then depart from the other.
I agree the driving would eat into our time.

Most of your trip will be driving.

Plan a stop in WY and visit some of those parks.

Have you been west before? It is a very very big place. Driving through two states out west is nothing at all like driving out here.

Yes, definitely stop in Yellowstone. I don't know what you want to do in Denver - is your plan to just make a quick stop at Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park before heading north?

The only good thing about a drive like this is that the speed limit will be 70 or even 75 in some places!

OP here,
We have family in Denver so we were trying to touch all the bases while we are out there! But thanks for the feedback and I see that it is probably not practical.
I'm thinking we'll just skip Denver and make that a separate trip.
