My co worker is going to Jackson soon with her husband. i am amazed at how much its going to cost them. even the flights are more expensive. I liked the 49'r and everything, but holy crap $265 to like over $300 a night. The coffee was good, but not that good. 1 1 1 Quote

I looked up the antler inn which is cheaper than the 49er and it’s still $225 a night mid summer. 1 Quote

Maybe I'll stay there. $225 sounds like a bargain now compared to $300. So I'm thinking 2 nights each in Bozeman, Jackson Hole, and Yellowstone. 3 full days in Yellowstone. I like hiking, looking for wildlife, walking around small touristy towns, and museums. 2 Quote

toast21602 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Posted July 5, 2018 I would but flying with a bike sounds like a royal pain in the ass. Probably not much worse than skis. I’d imagine riding out there among the Tetons and in Yellowstone would be once in a lifetime stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

I’d imagine riding out there among the Tetons and in Yellowstone would be once in a lifetime stuff. I imagine it would be a lot harder than skis. I'd have to buy a giant sturdy box, take the bike apart correctly, fit it in the box, somehow carry the giant box and my luggage through the airport, pay $100 to get it on the plane, retrieve said giant box at my destination, somehow transport the giant box and my luggage to a rental car facility (at some airports you need to take a shuttle to the rental car... would the box fit on the shuttle?), and then hope I get a rental car big enough to fit the box, or else I need to assemble the bike at the rental car place - AND figure out what to do with the box if it and the bike don''t fit in the rental car. Then I get to do it all again in reverse to transport the bike home! Maybe I'm overthinking it, but last year I decided to just drive out west to bike all over Colorado. Much easier!
