Yellowstone & Grand Teton, Wyoming

Known for: Old Faithful, wildlife, Dave’s home turf

This one’s personal: Dave is based in Laramie, Wyoming, and Yellowstone and Grand Teton are practically in his backyard. If you’re planning a national park road trip through this part of the country, you’re talking to someone who actually knows the roads, the lodges, and the timing, not just a brochure.

Yellowstone in particular requires real planning if you want in-park lodging (it often books out 12+ months ahead): Dave can help you decide between in-park lodges and gateway towns like West Yellowstone or Jackson, and how to sequence a Yellowstone-plus-Grand-Teton itinerary so you’re not backtracking across the park.

Good for: multi-generational family road trips, and anyone who wants an itinerary built by someone who has actually driven these roads.
