I am in the planning stages of a trip to Yellowstone. My plans are wide open at the moment. While the trip is to see Yellowstone I will stay long enough to see some railroading while in the area. In years past I have spent a lot of time in Montana on the western end of MRL and the BNSF highline all over MT and Idaho. So my question is what else would be good to see?
I have a couple of ideas, fly to Salt Lake and drive up to Yellowstown. I know nothing about any lines in UT or Idaho. What can you tell me would be be a good potential to see?
******Please rate any answers as to scenery, traffic and any other tips you can offer.
The other option is to fly into Jackson Hole, what lines are reasonable to the north, south and west of Jackson?
One other thoughts I had was to take a few days, or half a week and go to the Powder River. Anyone able to give a good estimate of drive time from Yellowstone to Power River territory? My take on the PR is the traffic is intense but the scenery is bland and after a few days it gets old. I have been told this by a number of visitors.
Far distant 3rd idea is to fly to Denver and drive north to Yellowstone. Good or bad idea? Targets along the way?
Thanks,
