[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the Grand Canyon south rim, you only need one night there. Even if all the hotel rooms in park are booked up, just check the site every day. Something will open up. The rooms in the park are pretty basic, but it's just one night. And it's so much easier to be right there. The line to get into the park from Williams can get pretty long. But if you time it right, you'll be fine staying in Williams. Williams has better food options and the hotels are better than in the park.

If you do Grand Canyon north rim, the rooms are harder to come by and you'll want 2-3 nights there. It's a little farther to drive in/out of the north rim, but I've heard it's totally worth it. There's no town close by that's a good alternative like staying in Williams for the south rim.

I haven't been to Yellowstone, but you really need to stay in the park there. The park is HUGE and you'll waste a lot of time driving in and out if you're staying outside of it. Even better if you can get a few nights at different locations in the park so you're not always back tracking. If all the rooms are booked, you can keep checking for cancellations - but they don't open up in  Yellowstone like they do for the GC. [/quote]

If you stay in Cody, it's about an hour from outside the park to inside the park and it's a pretty drive. It's an hour from Cody to Thermopolis to swim in the geyser pools. Cody also has a very cool set of museums at the Cody Center. [/quote]
