Preparation
S girls go National (Parking)
Would HIGHLY recommend a July / August camping trip with ur friends. Sam, Sarah Sprout, and I all took to the Northwest for a week of horse riding, fishing, rodeos, hiking, s’mores, and million dollar memories.
Step 1: Make an itinerary.
Campsites should be booked at least a month in advance but the earlier the better. We all chose a few spots we wanted to see and mapped them out. Ultimately, we left it up to how we were feeling, the weather, and prioritized the MUST SEE’s. Here is our final itinerary.
TUES WED THURS FRI
Drive to Yellowstone. Stop at Grand Prismatic Artists Point for hiking. Stay at Bay Bridge Campground.Drive through Hayden Valley. See Old Faithful. Stay at Bay Bridge Campground. Hike and swim and cliff jumping at Phelps Lake. Hike String Lake. Stay the night in Grand Tetons, Coulter Bay. Hang out at Jenny Lake. Shopping and exploring Jackson Hole. Stay the night in Jackson Hole. Step 2: Plan your meals
We wanted to cook our own food or at least, reheat it so we meal-prepped many of these items to bring.
I suggest eating the most perishable items first.
- BREAKFAST IDEAS: Breakfast burritos; hash browns, eggs, bagels, croissants
- LUNCH IDEAS: Premade salads, sandwiches
- SNACK IDEAS: fruit (bananas, cuties, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, apples ) and granola bars, pretzels, jerky, cheese and crackers, fruit snacks, chips, popcorn
- DINNER IDEAS:
- Hawaiian rolls, rotisserie chicken, BBQ sauce
- Mac’n’cheese
- Hotdogs
- Sausage & veggies
- Chili
- Tacos
- SWEETS: S’mores, duh.
- SEASONINGS
- DRINKS: Gallon jugs of water & ice, coffee, tea

I gifted this to my partner for Christmas and I was SO NERVOUS every time we would open up an envelope. It was a good type of nervous- I know how much work I put into each of these envelopes and it caused a flutter of excitement and jitter bugs in my stomach.
Each date we had was a blast and it kept us from that super fun question “What do you want to do?” and “What do you want to eat?” because it was already planned for us!
I love a good theme and I love a good experience and I love a handmade gift, a holy trinity. Not the only holy trinity he was gifted this Christmas! (happy bday Jesus)
