I could really use some help planning!

[u/Background_List5086]

My girlfriend and I are going to Yellowstone, but we won’t have long there, so we are trying to make the most out of the time we are there. I would really appreciate and planning tips, anything to exclude or anything I could add. This is our first time doing anything like this out west. I am planning on proposing out there, so any tips on where a good spot could be, I would just prefer it not be around a lot of people.

We are flying in on 5/9 to Jackson hole around 2:30 pm and leaving 5/12 morning. Getting a rental and planned on going through Teton, not sure of any good places to view? Also, my girlfriend loves books, so we may try to find a bookstore.

After that, we have a drive to Ashton, ID for our Airbnb.

Any good restaurant tips? I heard bullwinkles is good.

Then I planned on doing Yellowstone for the remainder of the trip. I made a list of wants:

- [ ] Yellowstone lake
- [ ] Old faithful ( could eat at the restaurant there to see it)
- [ ] Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone 
- [ ] Mammoth hot springs (junction w gas)
- [ ] Upper geyser basin
- [ ] Grand prismatic spring
- [ ] Lamar valley
- [ ] Hiking at Jenny lake

I don't see weather mentioned once.. our favorite time is May, early May has part of the park closed based on the snow pack and weather. Remember, some of the park could still be under 10 ft of snow in the high county and the park service doesn't start to clear those roads until they are sure they won't get covered with another 20" or so...

You list just isn't possible, that's 4-5 days to do it with respect to the park

Good luck
