One more consideration for August, is the total solar eclipse. Word is pretty huge crowds expected, and many places fully booked up, long ago, at least in Idaho. Camping could be problematic. I'm guessing it's the same for Tetons/Wyoming and perhaps Oregon as well. An awful lot of people will be trying to drive a little north/south for totality, so there's that also.
Best, OLH
If you come through Boise at some point, ya gotta catch here, at least!
Right, the Eclipse August 21. i plan to be hiking in the Wind River Range, supposedly the best possible weather statistics for clear sky probability.
Hopefully, i'm deep in Ttitcomb Basin, away from crowds, though I imagine there's going to be a lot of hike/climb traffic at some of these hot spots... like Jackson.
I imagine nearby spots will be packed...Jackson, Yellowstone, or any nice area within a day drive of the path. you can get a google earth overlay of the path, but for me, Grand Teton and Gannett peak on the path is good enough.
