Grant Village: Yellowstone Lodging

Wednesday, July 6th, 2011

Grant Village: Yellowstone National Park’s most ideal lodging choice. This statement is an opinion based on a few key points about Grant Village. Yellowstone is a big park with many things to see and do. Yellowstone lodging is diverse and it’s best to be strategic about where you stay while you enjoy this big beautiful park. There are a few highlights that make Grant Village in Yellowstone National Park the best choice for your vacation. Yellowstone’s Grant Village offers great access to the main attractions of the park, is the closest in-park lodging to Grand Teton National Park and it is on Yellowstone Lake in prime grizzly and cutthroat trout habitat. How can you go wrong?

Grant Village is located on Yellowstone Lake’s west thumb. This is right in the neck of the woods of a handful of spawning streams for Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout. There is great fishing in this area and as a result, it is also a hot spot to view grizzly bears. Yellowstone Lake offers a variety of recreation as well. People love to kayak over to the West Thumb Geyser Basin, swim, picnic and just enjoy the scenery from Grant Village. Yellowstone will be a lot more fun when you stay on the water.

The most popular attractions in Yellowstone National Park are all within access of Grant Village. Yellowstone National Park is most famous for Old Faithful, the West Thumb Geyser Basin, wildlife and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Old Faithful is just 20 minutes from Grant Village and the West Thumb Geyser Basin is in your backyard when you stay at Grant Village. Yellowstone River’s Grand Canyon is about 50 miles north. This means that the bulk of the Yellowstone National Park attractions are very close and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone would make a great day trip. This creates a lot of vacation freedom when you are not required to drive on days when you don’t want to.

The last compelling reason why Grant Village is the most ideal Yellowstone lodging is that it is close to it’s sister park, Grand Teton National Park. Many people choose to combine these two majestic parks into one fun-filled adventure. Grant Village is a great location as it is the first Yellowstone lodging once you cross the southern entrance border, which is the closest to Grand Teton National Park. Staying at Grant Village will give you the best vantage point to explore both parks on your vacation.

Grant Village is the most ideal Yellowstone lodging choice in my opinion. The reasons are obvious with the best location to the sights of Yellowstone National Park, immediate access to great fishing and wildlife on the lakeshore and Grant Village offers easy access into Grand Teton National Park as well. These perks make Grant Village the Yellowstone lodging choice I would recommend. You can make all your Yellowstone National Park reservations with the professionals at US Park Lodging.
