Yellowstone and Grand Teton sit side by side in the northern Rockies — geysers and wildlife in one, jagged peaks in the other. A campervan lets you chase sunrise in the parks and beat the day-trippers.

The route

Pick up in Bozeman (north) or Jackson (south), loop through Yellowstone and Grand Teton, and allow five to seven days.
