My kids love outdoors activities. My daughter loves animals so I'll be looking for good zoo's and similar sites. My son LOVES dinosaurs so we are gonna look for some museums along the way.

For the leg to Yellowstone, I'd go from Provo to Logan via I-15, from there head to Bear Lake through Logan Canyon. Once you hit Bear Lake, head to Montpelier and from there to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. That will allow you to go through Grand Teton National Park before you enter Yellowstone via the South Entrance. By far, this will be the nicest drive with the best canyons to view. You can also get some of the best ice cream in the country at Utah State University in Logan. Their chocolate lab/store is also a good place to hit. In Logan swing by Gossner Foods and get some cheese to eat on the drive too.

I grew up in Great Falls, and can recommend a few places to eat while you’re there. These are places that any of us displaced folks HAVE to go whenever we go back.

El Comedor and you have to have some of their fluffy tacos (trust me you’ll thank me later). The Fat Alberto is another staple there, although I’ve never had one myself...I always opt for the tacos.

Taco Treat for fast food tacos. Nothing like Taco Bell or anything similar. Much higher quality. You can buy their taco sauce online...in fact I have some in my kitchen right now.

For pizza you have to check out Howard’s Pizza. Several locations in Great Falls to choose from. They still prepare the dough by flipping it up in the air. It’s an amazing thin crust pizza...I always get their taco pizza because nobody comes close to making as good of one. My other favorite is the ground beef pizza...but you really can’t go wrong with anything there.

For Italian food....Borries in Black Eagle (northeast part of the area). They make their own meat sauce and it’s amazing. The homemade breadsticks are great too...they’re not soft but rather crunchy but eaten with butter they’re really good. I highly recommend the ravioli.

I haven’t been back there in about 15 years or so...and every time I think about it I think about these 4 places.

Not sure your planned route returning to Fort Meade but if you come through central WV I’d love to meet up. There are different activities available for kids (mine is 4.5) so let me know and I can plan something. Safe travels!
