Yellowstone — Island Park Base

What this kit is

Most Yellowstone advice is written for cars and hotel rooms. This kit is written for a fifth wheel, starting from mid-Utah, based out of Island Park Base — the route, the bases, the fuel and grocery logic, and the mistakes to skip, from a family that tows it with a group of 4–6 trucks.

You get the printable PDF plus a private buyer page: an interactive map of the 12 points with tap-to-navigate links, filters for the kinds of stops you actually need on the road, the author's field notes, and the full departure and arrival checklists.

“Getting to the vacation spot is part of the vacation: enjoy the journey, not just the destination, and don't stress about traveling somewhere you've never been. You're on vacation. It will be fun.”
— from the author's field notes, included in full for buyers

Who wrote it

Scott Blake of mid-Utah, writing as the West From Utah series. The kit is written for a 36–37 ft fifth wheel towed by a ¾-ton diesel, traveling in a group — drive days of 4–5 hours, radios in every truck, and bases picked so several rigs can sit together.

A note on honesty: this series sells what we know — routes we've driven, parks we've stayed in, and pins we dropped ourselves, including the ones we're not sure about, marked as not sure.
