Filed under: Uncategorized — National Park Reservations @ 3:43 pm

Taking a road trip to get to your vacation destination has become all but a lost form of travel.  With gas prices what they are today and competitive air travel many opt for the quick weekend trip.  National park vacations should be savored.  Getting to Yosemite or Yellowstone is half the adventure as the scenery along the way is an appetizer for what is to come.

If you are planning a national park getaway over the holidays or as a vacation from you holiday vacation consider driving.  Keep road conditions in mind.  You can check local road conditions any number of place including various websites, check your listings.

Also be sure you bring tire chains, blankets, and water in the car with you.  Make sure you leave a specific driving plan at home with a family member, friend or neighbor. 

You’ll have a great time when, as in all things, you practice foresight and caution.  Have a great winter vacation!
