Anyone traveling across the northern half of the US & Canada should not miss the Grand Tetons (and Yellowstone) and the Canadian Rockies (Banff, Lake Louise, and Jasper). You should probably see the Tetons on the way out, and the Rockies on the way back. If you went to the Canadian Rockies on the way out, you probably wouldn't want to continue on with the rest of your trip :-) In the Tetons, stay at the Colter Bay cabins. Still cheap, and beautiful. Depending upon the time of year, reserve early. Call Colter Bay Lodge for reservations. A beautiful drive out of or into Yellowstone is the Bear Tooth pass (NE exit). While you're out here, see the Columbia gorge, and Mt. St. Helens. And don't miss Expo 86 in Vancouver. wm
