Hi, I%26#39;ve been visiting the Yellowstone t/a for a couple of weeks now, getting ideas. We are planning a trip there next year maybe late summer. Should I start making reservations now for lodging in the park? We have a weeks vacation and also plan on seeing the Grand Tetons. Is the rodeo in Jackson worth going to? I haven%26#39;t really seen anything on here about that or park ranger programs. My husband is interested in learning about the geology of the area, so I thought that would be a good start. I looked online at the programs for this summer, but most end late August. So, I%26#39;m thinking we need to come before Labor Day. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

As soon as you know your dates start the reservation process, especially if you want specific rooms at certain lodges. For reservations in Aug. it%26#39;s a good idea to book a year in advance.
I perfer to spend time in the parks so we skip the rodeo. Jackson is very crowded during summer months. I would recommend lodging in the park with at least 4 nights in YNP.

You%26#39;re very smart to be planning this trip so far in advance!
I don%26#39;t know how you plan to break up your time, but I too would suggest at least 4 nights in YNP. You might consider splitting that between 2 locations - 1 or 2 nights at Old Faithful and the rest at either Canyon or Lake, which are both very central in the Park.
If you don%26#39;t already have it, here is the link for Xanterra, which handles all the in-park lodging: http://www.travelyellowstone.com/
I%26#39;m not familiar with the Jackson rodeo, so can%26#39;t help you there. I do know that Cody has one which I%26#39;ve heard very favorable reviews about.
The Ranger programs are great - very informative. However, I do think that they stop at the end of Aug. - as you%26#39;ve seen on the website.
Please come back with any further questions as you make your plans!
