We love road trips! We spent several days exploring Montana and Wyoming (with a pit stop in Deadwood, South Dakota) visiting Yellowstone, Glacier, and Grand Teton National Parks. Below are our quick tips and reviews.

Our Itinerary:
Drive from Rapid City to Deadwood, SD (because we love the show!). Review: Would not make a special trip to see the city.
While in Deadwood, SD we also made a stop to see Mount Rushmore.

Mount Rushmore to Billings, Montana and stopped for the night at The Northern Hotel (highly recommend)

Billings, MT to Jackson Hole, WY. Review: Definitely will be going back to Jackson Hole. We stayed at The Lodge at Jackson Hole and Wyoming Inn and at half the price of the Lodge, Wyoming Inn was surprisingly pleasant. We’ll stay at Wyoming Inn the next time we’re in Jackson Hole.

From Jackson Hole, Grand Teton National Park and Yellow Stone National Park are within 3 hours drive.

Jackson Hole, WY to Bozeman, MT where we stayed at the Gallatin River Lodge which we loved. See our separate video on the lodge.
Bozeman, MT to Whitefish, MT for Glacier National Park. We stayed at the Lodge at Whitefish but would not stay here again- the Lodge felt more like a college dorm.

Tip: Before our road trip, we purchased a family National Parks pass at REI and saved a great deal versus paying individually at each National Park.

How are you getting away with flying in so many no fly zones??

How are you getting away with flying in so many no fly zones??

That would be my question too:-) I don't live in the US, but visiting next year and all I hear is....can't fly here, can't fly there.....Maybe one of you guys can let me know how I can register my drone in  the US? The site they have doesn't work outside the US:-( Bummer....and here we have no registration...

Thanks for checking the video out.  I never flew my P3P in a no fly zone.  Sometimes I just held the drone to take advantage of the gimbal and other were shot using a Panasonic G7 DSLR.  

The new (somewhat new) DJI GO app is amazing at telling me where I can't fly.  I also use the FAA B4U FLY app.

This is the site I use in the USA. Should work once you get here. Took me 5 minutes and $5. You can print off confirmation and write your FAA number on the drone. You can apply that one FAA number to all your drones if you are lucky enough to have multiple.

Very impressive video. It's really nice!    Happy flying!

really enjoy it, thanks for sharing~

Amazing footage.    No wonder Montana is called Big Sky Country.

Simply splendid.
