@tuuu28283 I went a while back. You will most certainly need a car to get there. There are tour buses, but honestly a car gives you more freedom for Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and the surrounding area (all beautiful). You should come over and see it sometime!
@tuuu28283 It depends on the car to be honest. I’m such a big fan of Japanese cars because they last such a long time compared to everything else. I expect my Toyota to last me between 200-250k miles (320-400km). You can expect an average car to give you between 125-175k miles (200-280km).
@tuuu28283 Texas barbecue is the way to go. Make sure to try beef ribs, brisket, sausage, and pulled pork at the very least. Avoid large chains. Texas Monthly publishes a list of the 50 best barbecue joints in Texas every few years or so, so use that as a reference.
