We are traveling from Wis. to Jackson Hole from Sept 18-26. We plan to take the on this trip. My concern is whether we should expect snow while there. We are spending 2 days (9/21-22) in Jackson and would like to drive up to Jackson Lake and maybe as far as Yellowstone on a day trip from Jackson. We can take my 4x4 but really want to take . Are there any fanatics in that area that can advise me? I don't need to go to the top of any mountains or take back trails, but would like to not get stuck not being able to see enough sites to have made the trip. Any feedback would be appreciated. We will be coming from Deadwood after having spent two days there, and will drop down to Denver when we leave Jackson.Thanks, SSR2b
You might want to take a look at my thread from 2011 "On The Road to Flagstaff & home" Start Here which is Page 7 post 186 and follow through to about post 203. You might find some interesting things from Mt Rushmore on to Utah and all those parks.
thanks for the feedback and pics BlueStreak, looking forward to the trip. Still looking for any insight into whether we should be concerned about hitting snow along the way.
We travel close to there every fall when we trek to AZ thru Montana & Idaho, very close to where you are going to. You COULD run in to snow, however, it usually melts when it hits the road. My advice, if you encounter snow, bunker down at the closest town until it blows over!
Many years ago Wyoming was home. Late September can be a gamble with snowy weather especially in the western part of the state. Weather changes quickly. I recall fairly frequent stories of people getting snow bound despite only hours before enjoying clear, sunny weather. I worked in many different areas in the middle and northern Rocky Mountains over the years and can say snowy weather is possible any month of the year.
Jan & Terry, have a safe and fun trip !!! Jan, hope you're doing better. Terry, good idea, stay on the main roads....and out of the snow. Wishing you the very best. It will be a beautiful and fun trip in the "little yellow truck" HAVE A GOOD ONE !!! Bob & Jan :ssr
You could see snow.
My brother & I were traveling from Peoria to Boise, ID in mid September 2001 and got caught in a snowstorm in Wyoming that shut down I-80 for 2 days. We got through just before they shut down the interstate. So its possible to get snow in September.
Be safe & have fun!
Just completed our trip to the badlands, blackhills, rushmore, crazyhorse, Yellowstone, and side trip to Denver, 3500 miles. No snow, no bad weather, and a tremendous time in the R. Thanks to everyone for your response to my weather request. Only saw 1 other , another yellow in Custer Park.
Should have given us a holler. We live in Sturgis South Dakota near Mount Rushmore. I see you are in Wisconsin. I was born and raised in Granville Wisconsin. Small world.
You R right Terry and Miss Jan. We just drove a little over 1,100 miles last week our selves on our SSR/Route 66 cruise. glad you're back home safe and that Jan is doing well and feels like traveling. Bob & Jan Alexander.
That is a beautiful ride. We did most of it in July. We ended up in the Silverado after hitting a deer the first day. If you like scenery it is difficult to beat.
Actually we are in Nebraska. We stayed in Hill City with a friend. We had planned on staying two nights, but hit a deer the first day on the way and had to return home and take the trip with the Silverado. Not as planned, but had planned the trip for a long time.
We will next time and maybe cruise a little together.
Dave
