How long time does it take to go Yellowstone from Calgary?

If you go with Highway 87->89->YSNP in the states, it will take about 11 hours. For Highway 15, it will be 12 hours.

Thank you !

加拿大的国家公园票到美国可以用吗？ 听说yellow stone不是很好玩, 是真的吗？还有个问题是：你们怎么不到las vegas? 还差500KM就到了

加拿大的国家公园票到美国可以用吗？

No. However, the pass is quite reasonable. $20 pass will be valid for 7 days for each National Park.

听说yellow stone不是很好玩, 是真的吗？

Personally, I like it. Landscape is much similar to Jasper. However, it has many more valcano scenic areas, which are quite unique.

还有个问题是：你们怎么不到las vegas? 还差500KM就到了

I intentionally avoided that area. Actually, I was only 200KM away of LV. I am a pretty much a nature guy. Man-made stuff is not my type. And be prepared for the crazy traffic in big US cities. Driving in Salt Lake City is already crazy enough. ;-)

By the way, I was on my own. No "你们".

just found this thread. Are you still there ? Question : How long in advance we should reserve the camp site there?

Actually, I didn't reserve anything in advance. Most of the national parks are quite empty, even at Yellow Stone. :lol:

However, my SUV is bigger enough for myself to sleep inside anywhere if I had to.
