"Shannon, We are on our way home from a fabulous trip that you put together for us. Your itinerary and suggestions worked out well. When I started putting a plan together last fall, I really didn’t know where to start. I’m so glad that we contacted you because we would have never known the in’s and out’s of reservations and places to go and see. I’ve attached a picture of our boat tour on Maligne Lake last evening. It was so beautiful. We had great weather but we did experience quite a bit of smoke haze. But everything was still beautiful. I just wanted to drop a quick note and let you know we were very pleased with our trip."

"Shannon was a great help in many ways . We had a group of 7 adults and a toddler so she found us a 10 passenger van so we could all be together. This made our trip! We were going to rent 2 vehicles. She planned our itinerary which saved me hours of research! The extra activities she suggested , a play and rodeo were two of the highlights of our trip. We ate at 4 of the restaurants she suggested and the food was great! Again, this saved us much time we would have spent researching menus etc… Shannon also saved us money by suggesting we use TURO to rent our vehicle and a trip insurance company that was very economical. She sent flight suggestions which worked out great! We had people flying in from 3 states and we all landed at the same time. I had several questions throughout the planning process and Shannon was always available to take a phone call or answer text. Shannon made this trip not only possible but much stressful! I really don’t know if I would have embarked on this adventure without her encouragement, but I’m sure glad I did. It’s a trip my family will never forget! Thank you Shannon!"

"Shannon planned an amazing trip for our family. The activities and tours that she recommended were all on point and exactly what we were looking for. The itinerary was very robust, so there were a few things that we either skipped or modified, but that was just our preference. It was a life goal of mine to bring my wife and daughter to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. We also travelled up to Glacier NP from there and were just just so astonished with the park's beauty and natural wonders. Thanks to Shannon, we were able to experience all three parks quite comprehensively and appropriately for our family. This was our best family excursion to date! Thank you Shannon!"

"Our trip was amazing! So knowledgeable of the area, nice hotels within budget and hikes plus expectation was perfect. We saw so many animals (like Shannon said)! Restaurants were great and the reminders for entry reservations with suggested times were clutch. I can say this was the best vacation, a true gem of an experience I would have never been able to create without Shannon’s itinerary!"

"Hi Shannon, Our trip was phenomenal. Your itinerary really saved us a lot of time and energy. It all flowed so nicely. If I would have organized myself, it likely would have been more chaotic. A storm prevented us from getting to the Hidden Lake Overlook at Logan Pass. But we were able to do everything else. Thanks again."

"Everything was great. I would recommend the float trip at Glacier and the Many Glacier boat trip ahead of the McDonald Lodge boat ride. All recommendations were excellent!"

“Shannon helped plan our family trip to Glacier National Park. Everything went so smoothly: from giving us all the dates and times we needed to book the various activities, to a reminder on getting timed entry to the park, it all went great. We will use her services again, thank you Shannon!”

"Shannon was a lifesaver. I tried to plan our two week vacation on my own, and failed miserably. She is so knowledgeable on every aspect of our trip to Wyoming and Montana. She has many contacts with tour companies and hotels. She asked us what things we were interested in and came up with a detailed itinerary including directions and suggestions for restaurants and relevant site seeing spots. I would highly recommend her. Every tour guide we used praised Shannon and her company."
Kevin & Joan L, Bradenton, FL

"Shannon did an outstanding job planning our trip to Washington/Oregon. She listened to our ideas and then personally visited the areas to map out our final plan. They suggested places we never considered. From lodging to dining and activities the details were provided. We did spend time before leaving on the trip to make sure we were aware of any required permits, time requirements etc. This is the second trip we have engaged Shannon to plan and are already working on the next one!!"
Mark & Patty C, New Bremen, OH

"We could not have done this without you. Planning a trip like this was overwhelming for us and you took care of everything. We can’t thank you enough. Our reservations were all well-done and went off without any problems. We loved the choices of restaurants and added a couple favorites of our own. It was an experience of a lifetime for my grandsons. Thank you."

"Dear Shannon, We are flying back to Tampa today after the most amazing trip to Jackson, Jackson Hole, Grand Teton NP, Yellowstone NP, West Yellowstone, and Bozeman!! Your recommendations were spot on! My family loved Jim with Bear Witness, Jackson Hole Whitewater was fantastic, the covered seats at the rodeo were fabulous, and the horseback ride at Turpin Meadow Ranch was beautiful! We loved dining at Corbets Waffles and Calico’s! Our stay in Teton Village using the Outpost was perfect! Hibernation Station in West Yellowstone fit all of our families needs as well! We loved Three Bears Running for breakfast!! I think the only thing I would change in our 10 days was dinner at The Mural Room. While the views were stunning the meal itself was average and very pricey! Thank you very much for all of your help planning this vacation for me and my family! All of the details in planning did not go unnoticed and I am very grateful for the trip you planned for us! I wish you all the best!"
Marjorie D, Lutz, FL

"Hi Shannon! Just wanted to thank you for an awesome itinerary. We enjoyed our trip very much. We loved having a plan and being busy everyday, but not being overly scheduled. Thanks again!"

"You did a great job! We could have never organized travel the way you did. The pace was amazingly perfect; we never could have achieved that on our own. All the connections day to day, over 4,000 miles was totally seamless. As we rolled throughout 3 weeks on the road we were amazed at how much ground we covered efficiently and effectively. The tours you arranged for us were so productive. Again related to pace, the tours you preplanned for us were spaced when we need a rest from driving our car. The Red Bus, Custer State Park, Buffalo annual round up, Glacier Lakes boat cruises were placed perfectly to let somebody else do the driving. Finally to have an itinerary designed by an experienced veteran traveler like yourself, made every step by us, and "exceptional arrival" in our destinations. Blessings to you Shannon in the days ahead!"
Gary & Linda H, Indianapolis, IN

"Worked w/Shannon for our AMAZING 3 weeks bucket list trip to Yellowstone, Glacier and Grand Teton seeing everything there is to see in between. It was so incredible how working w/Shannon and team laid out this trip catering to everything we knew we wanted to do and just as many things we had no idea we should see. The trip was perfected to us and we diligently followed it for the entire 21 days! Forever grateful and cannot recommend enough!"
Linda Ann G, Fort Lauderdale, FL

"This was my second time using Shannon’s planning service. Both times we received a very friendly user and detailed itinerary. She incorporated exactly what we wanted to see and do and we were very satisfied. Shannon is an expert planner!"
Cindy R, Moreauville, LA

"Shannon was commissioned to plan our month long trip starting with the Tetons then Yellowstone then Glacier followed by the Badlands and Custer National Park. She did an outstanding job in offering us alternatives for lodging, food, etc. She is a true professional."
Jill & Tim T, Hoschton, GA

"Can’t say enough about Enjoy Your Parks Travel. We had Shannon help us plan a trip to Glacier NP and her expertise was the difference in a good trip and a fantastic trip! I did a ton of research on my own, but Shannon’s expertise was extremely helpful. When it comes to Glacier “you don’t know what you don’t know.” She helped us understand the park entry system. The park is crowded so it’s good to have a tips on crowd management! She recommended some outstanding hikes and a wildlife viewing spot we never would have found on our own. Shannon encouraged us to spend one night in the park, which was not in our original plan and she was right it was amazing!! Great advice all the way around!!"
Melissa & Greg C, Park City, UT
May 22, 2025
"Shannon was a pleasure to work with. We had an idea of the places we wanted to visit but had no idea how to get there. She worked with us to plan a wonderful and very memorable trip. We highly suggest her services to anyone who is looking to travel in South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana."

"Hi Shannon, We are having a great time here in Yellowstone!!! Thank you, our tours and tour guides have been wonderful! We have seen thirteen bears, including Grizzly, Black and cinnamon Black bears. We have also seen a gray wolf, coyote, osprey, bald eagle, and much more. Thanks for everything."

"Working with Shannon to plan our trip to Grand Tetons and Yellowstone helped us to create a wonderful experience. We had a short window for a trip and she masterfully set up an itinerary that wove us through the parks to see amazing sites, beautiful hikes and fabulous restaurants. Shannon was detailed, accessible, professional and just an all around wonderful personal to work with to plan our trip. I highly recommend her services!"
John & Lisa W, Effingham, IL
April 24, 2025
"I cannot recommend Shannon highly enough for her exceptional travel planning services! She created a fantastic itinerary for our trip to Montana, including visits to Glacier National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and the Grand Tetons. Shannon took care of everything—from finding affordable flights and rental vehicles to planning the most scenic routes and selecting perfect stops along the way. Shannon even booked two incredible wildlife excursions with guides that she knows and has vetted and the excursions were highlights of our trip! What truly set Shannon apart was her dedication to our experience. She checked in with us almost daily to ensure we were doing well and had everything we needed. Her attention to detail and genuine care made our trip unforgettable. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and attentive travel planner, we would highly recommend calling Shannon. Thank you, Shannon, for an amazing adventure!"

March 5, 2025
"Shannon, we just want to thank you for all your help in organizing our family trip to Yellowstone and Big Sky. We all had a wonderful time. Without your help we would not have done the things we did and seen the things we saw. The only thing we weren't able to do was the Elk Preserve in Jackson, WY. That was because there was so much snow the night before we were to travel to the Flagg Ranch which caused the shuttle to be late. Our grandsons really enjoyed the skiing and snowboarding at Big Sky. They were wishing they could stay more days. The snow and cold did not deter those Florida boys from having a great time the entire trip. Thank you again, and we will certainly recommend Enjoy Our Parks to anyone who might want to plan a trip your way."
David & Kay W, Wernersville, PA

"Our trip was better than we imagined. Spectacular scenery but the positive impact on my relationship with my son will last forever. The planning took away the stress of figuring out what to do and when. All the details were there to make it a success. Having you organize it allowed us to take hikes that we would not have been able to do. The routes required catching shuttles and reservations that only a seasoned veteran could coordinate. Your scheduled hikes were in exactly the right order. They increased in intensity from day to day so that by the time we did Dawson Pass, we were ready for the steep and steady climb. So, thank you for providing a lifetime of memories in a week's worth of hiking in Glacier National Park."
John & Josh W, Gilbert, AZ

"Hi Shannon! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and happy new year! I just wanted to reach out and thank you for all you have done for us this past year and beyond. We have created and experienced lifetime moments that are memories forever! You have not seen or heard from the last of me! lol. Everyone keeps asking me what our big adventure will be this year, but I haven’t given it much thought. I will let you know when we decide. I have given your name to one of my husband's lifelong friends at his request. Thank you again! Stay warm and safe this winter!"

"What a trip! Still can’t believe it is over! Really, thank you so much! The look ahead was so exciting, the trip was perfect, working w/you was seamless and our pictures make us want to do more and share our memories. The planning process works so well and the activities we did that you recommended never let us down. The amount of information provided by Enjoy Your Parks was an incredible resource both before, during and after the trip. Each day of the twenty one days was equally incredible and the activities we did besides the park were priceless! The drive up and down Montana was breathtaking and we highly recommend to anyone planning a trip to any of our amazing national parks will get so much more out of the trip by working with you Shannon and your team!"

“It was great to have an itinerary to follow and have suggestions on what to do. the trip was wonderful and we enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Thank you for helping guide us through these national parks.”
Colleen H, Chicago, IL
October 3, 2024
"The plans were great. The step-by-step instructions were really helpful. The directions guided us to excellent spots without wasting time looking for where to go. The lodging, restaurants and excursions were great. I feel we had an excellent trip and your help paid for itself. The hot links to schedule items and to trail maps were invaluable. The additional documentation on where to see wildlife in park was a great guide. My only recommendation for someone using your services is to take time to understand the information that is provided. It is a plethora of valuable information from your years of hiking the parks. Thanks for all you did to make our trip great."
Paul H, Clinton, TN
October 2, 2024
"Excellent trip. Your itinerary hit all the good parts of the 3 national parks. We pretty much followed your route to the letter with a few exceptions due to rainy weather. We were surprised in a good way at how remote and unpopulated the east side of Glacier is compared to the west side. And we were very happy to see and learn about the geography and culture of Montana going from East Glacier to Yellowstone, definitely not what two first generation easterners are familiar with. Virginia City was a bust due to rainy weather and everything closing early for the season early so we went to Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park and took the "easy" tour. There was a longer, more comprehensive tour but we didn't want to do the longer, uphill hike in the drizzling rain. Lodgings were all fine and very well located. I could quibble about the price and/or "rustic" nature of some of the places but all hotels were close to where we needed to be for our tours and hikes so that was good. We especially liked the Medicine Grizzly lodge in East Glacier and the C'mon Inn in Bozeman. Both were newer and had plenty of room and enough kitchen facilities to make life a bit easier. The activities you had us do were excellent."
Tuan & Helen D, Raleigh, NC
October 1, 2024
"We had a very good trip for our first time to Yellowstone and the Tetons. We were glad we had a long visit and got to see so much. Both parks exceeded expectations. Wildlife tours were good and so was the tram ride in Teton Village. We enjoyed our Virginia City ,Jackson Hole and Gardiner stays the most. The September timing was perfect with manageable traffic and good weather. Using your service to plan the trip was a great help which I would recommend, especially for first time visitors and those who want to “see a little more” outside the park along the way. Thank you!"
Brent & Julie S, Warrenton, OR
September 27, 2024
“The plan Shannon helped us put together enabled us to see and do so much more of the three parks and Montana and Wyoming we would ever have done. All her suggestions and information gave us the tools to have a true once in a lifetime experience! We are so grateful and highly recommend Enjoy Your Parks Travel!”

“After our 3 week "bucket list" road trip to Glacier, Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore; from Indianapolis!! We could not have done this without the stress, freedom, and enjoyment provided by Shannon's masterful, seamless itinerary. Thank you, Shannon.”
Gary & Linda H, Indianapolis, IN
September 24, 2024
"I was overwhelmed with trying to plan a big trip out west that included 3 national parks, museums, art, history, and more and Shannon planned our once-in-a-lifetime trip with expertise and so much information that we could not have known! We had an awesome experience! Highly recommended."
Scott & Roberta W, Fort Pierce, FL
September 24, 2024

September 21, 2024
"We loved Glacier and the boat and bus excursions you chose for our trip. Kilmorey Lodge was definitely our favorite place and Glacier Park Lodge was our least favorite. Hiking on the east side trails were the best. Best days were Virginia Falls, Grinnell Lake and Waterton Park. We saw 2 young grizzlies very close to us on the 1st day. A nice moose let many of us hikers take her picture while she at her lunch but the only mountain goat I saw was in the lobby of Glacier Park Lodge. Thank you for all your help. Weeks of exploring without a single problem."
LeeAnne & Keith S, Appleton, WI
September 21, 2024
"Hi Shannon, Our trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton was so awesome! Your itinerary was amazing, and we feel that we got to see and experience everything that we had dreamed of. We saw wolves with Elizabeth of Yellowstone Safari; and we saw one black bear with Jimmy of Bear Witness….just to name a few of the many various wildlife we were blessed to see! The accommodations in and around the Park worked out wonderfully. We put in very full days and many happy miles! Thank you again for planning our trip."
Pam and George S, Groton, NY

September 15, 2024
"Hi Shannon, I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed this incredible trip that you planned for us! We are back now with only our memories and photos, but we will never forget it. I would like to say an extra thank you for your help in finding us a place to go when we were evacuated from Columbia Ice Fields due to the fire in Jasper. I know that you were up working on it well past midnight and you also stayed with us via email until we were safely parked in the overflow lot for the night. In our opinion, that was above and beyond the “call of duty”! I will recommend you to anyone who needs help in planning their trip!"

September 14, 2024
"Shannon, we returned home yesterday from a fantastic trip! We were limited on the amount of hiking due to me having knee surgery and being old. But you can't help to enjoy the scenery from the car. It's hard to not be just overwhelmed at the beauty of God's creation. This has been a bucket list for us and it exceeded our expectations. Thanks so much for putting our trip together! We couldn't have done it without you!"
"Things we loved:
Red Bus tour - we had such a great driver Jammer Margaret
Trail of the cedars
Going to the sun road
Old Faithful Lodge cabin with restroom - We stayed there instead of the Inn at 1/3 the cost. It was perfect for us. Clean and within walking distance of everything.
Circle of Fire Tour
Absaroka Lodge
Bear Witness Safari - Jimmy is awesome!
Miller Park Lodge
Gun Barrel Steak and Game - Buffalo Ribs were awesome!
Jackson Hole Whitewater scenic float - Even though it was cold, windy and rainy it was a fun float. Our guide, Ian, was the best!
Silver Dollar Bar and Grille"

"Hi Shannon! We did have a wonderful trip and your incredibly detailed itinerary was so helpful! All of the detailed information you provided was invaluable as we made our way through the itinerary and decided what to go see and what not to. I'm so grateful to you for your help as our trip changed - from who was going to the last minute cancellations when my friend got sick last year. Everything was fantastic! Thank you so much! Christy"

September 6, 2024
"What can we say except that the whole trip was amazing! The daily plans were exceptionally detailed and it was so nice to be able to refer to them everyday. For the most part, we followed them closely. We had to alter some days because we were traveling with our dog. We were able to find dog walkers for a few days allowing us to be gone for a longer time. All of the campgrounds and RV parks were good to excellent - not a bad one in the bunch. We were particularly appreciative of your helping us to reserve the campgrounds in Canada as that was confusing and frustrating for me. And all the information about various permits, etc. was helpful. And most of all, your help in finding us a place to go when we were evacuated from Columbia Icefields because of the fire in Jasper was immensely appreciated! You being up and on it well after midnight was above and beyond ! We enjoyed our trip and I couldn’t have done it without your expertise. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone. Thank you for helping us with this trip of a lifetime!"
Ed and Pat H, Lindsey, OH

"Shannon did a terrific job meeting our request to see some of the most glorious sights and hikes of Glacier mixed with seeing “off the beaten track” hikes. Clearly she knows the area incredibly well. It was a fabulous trip."
Heather E, Shaker Heights, OH
September 1, 2024
"All good things must end and when they are truly great things, there’s more than a little bit of sorrow to seeing them in the rearview mirror. Such is the case for the trip you planned for us. I can’t begin to find a way to thank you for your work to plan our trip to the Grand Teton’s, Yellowstone, Cooke City/Red Lodge, Medora/Roosevelt NP, Devil’s Tower, Black Hills/Mt Rushmore and The Badlands. This was an amazing trip because your efforts to plan it for us made it perfect. I could not have done what you did no matter how much time I spent. We have memories that we will talk about for years. The administrative stress you eliminated for me will be forever remembered. You need to know that your trip plan became a three-ring binder with every page posted. It was always in the driver’s door pocket for easy reference and it was always discussed by us the night before we took on the next day’s adventures. I can attest that all of the things covered in your web pages and what we talked about during our first phone call, most pleasantly came together. First and foremost is the lodging. You identified great options and your first choice in every location met our criteria—clean, comfortable, convenient (CCC). Your dining recommendations were always excellent and we dined at places we would not have thought about. Your scenic reviews were perfect. There were places that you recommended that I could have just sat at for hours and observed all that was to be seen. Your comments about taking an organized tour and recommendation on a tour company made our day. For example, in the Black Hills, we would have missed so much if we hadn’t taken a tour. Even if I had drove the route, I would not have seen much as the roads were tight, curving and you needed to know when to stop—all three impossible for a novice. Our pro tour guide executed perfectly. Shannon, thanks for providing such a valuable service. I appreciate all you did for us. I’ll always remember that late Saturday night exchange when I said there were no rooms at the Old Faithful Inn. You replied almost immediately and said there are rooms…do A, B, C. I did and we had two great nights in the iconic Old Faithful Inn. What a treat! Please feel free to post my words to any reference forum you wish. I wish you well."

“We had a very nice trip, with weather and all other details cooperating. I think in retrospect we should have started some of our activities later in the day, but that's just because most of our group gets a late start on the day. Your advice really helped us to develop and experience an excellent trip!”

"We just wanted to thank you so much for your help in arranging our trip to Glacier! It was absolutely fabulous! The boat trips back to hiking trails were fantastic! We were so grateful to get on the North Fork Road to Poleridge and appreciated the advice to snatch a pass the night before. Your thoroughness and knowledge of the area was invaluable. Thanks again!"

"Hi Shannon. Just a note to bring you up to speed on our trip so far.
Our first day we arrived without any issues. Went to the trail of the Cedars and then hiked to avalanche lake. Gorgeous.
The next morning we got up at oh dark 30 and got on the road to Logan pass. We arrived a little before six and there was plenty of parking. Got onto the Highline Trail and it was lovely. Hiked the 8 miles over to the chalet. After a short break, we hiked from the chalet down to the loop.
The next morning we met some friends for breakfast and were going to go on a hike somewhere on the west side, but the weather didn't cooperate. It rained quite hard for some time and then the wind picked up with gusts of up to 60 mph. We ended up at the many glacier Lodge hanging out in the lobby, which was not a bad place to hang out. The next morning, we got up bright and early and headed out for Grinnell glacier. What a lovely hike! Definitely some work but worth every bit of it. We encountered a mama and two cubs on the way back. Mama was on one side of the trail and the Cubs were on the other side so we were hesitant to walk between them. Finally, the Cubs moved over and we scooted on by.
Our hike the next day was iceberg Lake. We got an early start. Another lovely hike.
Today we opted to hike Siyah pass instead of the triple divide. We did an up and back to the top of the pass. Lots of wildflowers and gorgeous views.
We are currently relaxing on the balcony of our room at the glacier Lodge. Tomorrow is our final hike after a boat ride on two medicine lake.
We appreciate all of your work putting together this itinerary for us. Our trip has been a great success. We also appreciate your follow up on getting us the passes that we needed to get access to the park. Thanks!"

"Hi Shannon, We had a great trip! Thanks for suggesting so many novel things to do. There were many highlights. With some surprise, we really enjoyed the living history museum of Virginia City and Nevada City with the re-enactors. Our last evening on the Peekaboo Slot Canyon & Sunset Safari with just the two of us and our guide was magical. Many thanks."

"Hi Shannon! Just wanted to thank you for another wonderful trip. We had an awesome time and appreciate all of the details in the plans. Glacier is absolutely beautiful and gave me a chance to finally see a moose. You are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful state."

"Hi Shannon! We are sitting at Jackson hole airport, heading home. We had a great trip and we stuck pretty close to your plan! We enjoyed all of the accommodations. The locations were perfect. I think everyone liked the cottages at glacier best. We got an early start virtually every day and never had much issue with parking or crowds. Since we couldn’t hike the Grinnell glacier trail, we did the iceberg lake trail instead and that turned out to be everyone’s favorite hike…..although it was a little on the strenuous side for my husband and I. My youngest took the full plunge into iceberg lake.
In Yellowstone, the timing of everything you planned was perfect. The only thing we switched is that we hit the fairy falls trail with the grand prismatic overlook first thing in the am, then, did all of the basins we had to drive through to make parking and crowds easier. We ended that day doing the walking tour of the boardwalk at the old faithful inn in the evening, after dinner. Beautiful and so fascinating! I loved the mud pots best!
My husband wasn’t crazy about the Yellowstone in-park accommodations not having ac but by the end, he admitted that it was worth it to save on all of the travel time. Personally, I really enjoyed the old faithful inn and canyon village. The canyon village, especially, was super nice…we must have been in a very recently renovated area and I loved walking down to the canyon overlook right from our room.
We were getting a little worn out by the time we got to the Tetons so we didn’t quite do everything you planned for us but it was just fine because Jackson hole and our cowboy village inn truly was a great place to just hangout. We ended up eating in for a lot of our breakfasts and lunches so we never made it to some of those recommendations (next time!). One place we tried that wasn’t on your list (I don’t think) was “Hand Fired Pizza” in the old theater, downtown Jackson. Really delicious!! We loved the Gun Barrel and the Snake River Brewery. The white water rafting and the wildlife safaris were both perfect. Very well organized and good companies.
I think that’s it! Thanks for all of your guidance. It was truly a bucket list trip for us!! Oh. We saw a ton of wildlife!! Thanks for all of the tips on that too. I attached a few pics. Since, of course, I can’t really wow you will serious photos, I only included a few goofy ones. Thanks again!!!"

"Good morning Shannon, We are back from our trip. I wanted to reach out and thank you for the incredible itinerary. We were able to complete almost every adventure you listed. My wife and sons all said that was the best vacation we've taken, and we've taken a lot of vacations... We saw grizzly bears, moose, big horn sheep, mountain goats, bison and a lot of other animals and AMAZING views. Even hiked in the snow at Logan's Pass. Every hotel and restaurant you recommended was excellent. Part of our plan was to give my oldest son a look at some towns to possibly move, and given our experience, he will highly likely be moving out west once he completes graduate school this year. Thank you again for your assistance and recommendations. Have a great rest of your summer!"

"All good things must end and when they are truly great things, there’s more than a little bit of sorrow to seeing them in the rearview mirror. Such is the case for the trip you planned for us.
I can’t begin to find a way to thank you for your work to plan our trip to the Grand Teton’s, Yellowstone, Cooke City/Red Lodge, Medora/Roosevelt NP, Devil’s Tower, Black Hills/Mt Rushmore and The Badlands. This was an amazing trip because your efforts to plan it for us made it perfect. I could not have done what you did no matter how much time I spent. We have memories that we will talk about for years. The administrative stress you eliminated for me will be forever remembered. You need to know that your trip plan became a three-ring binder with every page posted. It was always in the driver’s door pocket for easy reference and it was always discussed by us the night before we took on the next day’s adventures.
I can attest that all of the things covered in your web pages and what we talked about during our first phone call, most pleasantly came together. First and foremost is the lodging. You identified great options and your first choice in every location met our criteria—clean, comfortable, convenient (CCC). Your dining recommendations were always excellent and we dined at places we would not have thought about. Your scenic reviews were perfect. There were places that you recommended that I could have just sat at for hours and observed all that was to be seen. Your comments about taking an organized tour and recommendation on a tour company made our day. For example, in the Black Hills, we would have missed so much if we hadn’t taken a tour. Even if I had drove the route, I would not have seen much as the roads were tight, curving and you needed to know when to stop—all three impossible for a novice. Our pro tour guide executed perfectly.
Shannon, thanks for providing such a valuable service. I appreciate all you did for us. I’ll always remember that late Saturday night exchange when I said there were no rooms at the Old Faithful Inn. You replied almost immediately and said there are rooms…do A, B, C. I did and we had two great nights in the iconic Old Faithful Inn. What a treat!
Please feel free to post my words to any reference forum you wish. I wish you well"

"Shannon was a big help with setting up our trip. The last week of May was a great time to visit Yellowstone, saw tons of wildlife. Actually saw 5 grizzlies which I was told by park ranger that was a lot to see with just 4 days. Thanks again."
