Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks

The spirit of the Wild West is alive and thriving in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.

The spirit of the Wild West is alive and thriving in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. Cowhands guide hardy stock by horseback, while grizzlies and wolves patrol vast tracts of land. Dramatic mountain ranges fold the landscape into remote valleys and sky-high summits. Bison, elk, pronghorn, moose and bighorn can be found grazing on summer’s brief bounty while rivers, flush with spring snow melt, host scores of fish braving swollen rapids.

Moterra was born in the outdoor enthusiasts’s wonderland that is the gateway town of Jackson Hole, our Wyoming hub, and once the roads clear of snow in spring (usually by mid- to late-May) there is no better place to take a vanlife vacation! Summer days stretch long, perfect for fitting in all the hiking, biking, rafting, fishing, mountain biking and wildlife-watching this remote and stunning region has to offer. Autumn arrives with the golden glow of turning Cottonwood leaves (usually in mid- to late-September), signaling the end of high season, and a chance to have one last adventure – with fewer crowds – before winter returns. So why wait? Book today!

Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park lies just 100 miles north of Jackson Hole and is the ideal landscape in which to enjoy a campervan adventure. Our nation’s first National Park remains one of its most popular and beloved and for very good reason: it is a breathtaking and fascinating place, where wildlife-sightings are all but guaranteed, human history lives in legends and place-names, and mind-boggling expanses of open space hide out of this world geologic features.

Insider Recommendations

Hike intriguingly-yellow rock walls above the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.

Camp among boulders bigger than your van, left behind by the movement of prehistoric glaciers.

Grand Teton National Park

Grand Teton National Park is a captivating place, where deep canyons fill with waist-high wildflowers and distinct mountain peaks cradle sparkling alpine lakes. While most visitors to the region come for Yellowstone, they leave feeling charmed and awed by the Tetons – visiting them is perfect book-end to a perfect vanlife vacation!

We loved our Yellowstone and Tetons trip with our Moterra van. The trip planning was very helpful in making the best use of our time, and taking the stress out of finding campsites. The van was very clean and had all the amenities we wanted. Recommend getting the awning as it is easy to set up and provides good shade during the day. Moterra staff was fabulous!

We had so much fun in our van rental! It was awesome waking up and watching the sunrise on the mountains from the back of van. We also loved the rack on the roof we would hop up there and check out wildlife in the park. The van drove really well and when we called and had questions they were quick to answer and suggest solutions. We will definitely rent again!

My boyfriend and I rented a high top van from Moterra in Jackson WY for 9 days as we explored the Tetons, Yellowstone, and Bozeman MT. The staff at Moterra are extremely friendly and knowledgeable and the tour of the van was very thorough. Our van was spotless when we picked it up and stocked with all of the essentials, even down to salt and pepper grinders and paper towels. The vans are very self-sufficient and we never had a problem with power/energy throughout our whole trip. The nearly king size bed was super comfortable which was so nice after long days of fishing and hiking. The water tank lasted us about 3 days before we had to refill it. (Having a shower in ours was key for the trip we were doing -the hot water works very well and the shower is clean and surprisingly roomy for a van!) If you’re thinking about trying out the van life, Moterra is absolutely the place to go.
