Yellowstone Loop

As a kid this was my least favorite vacation but as an adult it was one of my favorite. It is 2,000 miles and to do it right you should take 7 - 10 days. Both times I took this trip we went thru Spokane, WA, as a kid Silverwood was not yet built so as you can imagine this trip is almost all scenic and with the exception of Yellowstone where there are quite a few kid things to do it really is for adults...just my view. With kids I would reverse the loop and end at Silverwood for a few days. -- Jeff Richford


Mukilteo To Silverwood

The drive from Mukilteo to Silverwood is approximately 6 hours. Silverwood is a really fun park with not only a water park area, but also rides, restaurants, and lots of other kid friendly attractions. Allow at least two to three days at Silverwood.
