I didn’t know the weather could be so severe in late September. Now you’ve got me wondering!


The weather in all these high altitude parks is very unpredictable. But the fact that the Cody RV parks close down then, makes me think it isn't all that unusual for that time of the year. The Park cg close down at the end of Sept too I believe. At least the Tetons cg do and Fishing Bridge was empty when we drove by on the way out.

Every spring and before a long trip, we take our fifth wheel in and get the tires inspected. We've never had a fail with regular inspections by a professional.

We were at Fishing Bridge a few years ago and it closed the last week in September. We had no issues with bad weather. I think you'll be fine.

We’ll be leaving the park on September 27.

Thanks. I had planned on doing that.

There is a neat looking small RV park in Ten Sleep where we have wanted to stay several times when we come through but timing wise, it has not worked out for us.

That is exactly where we’ll be spending the night. The restaurants and small shops look real cool. We’ll also be making a short trip down the road to the small brewery. It looks like a neat little town. The way it got its name is also interesting.

If you can plan the trip to accommodate spending the day in Cody, the Buffalo Bill museum is epic. Here's the website: https://centerofthewest.org/

Plan 2 days in Cody if you really want to experience the museum has to offer.

The last time I was in the Yellowstone area in a campground in Sept. ,they had us shut our water off because of the below freezing temperatures at night . . Just the other day of course its winter is was 42 below in West Yellowstone . And it "can" get nasty in September . We usually get snow or hail in June for annual summer trip to that area ,we are about 30 miles from West Yellowstone .
