I have only missed one year in the last 18 years. I go to San Pedro every year. Fly into Belize City, then take a 15 minute flight on a puddle jumper to San Pedro. Lots of great accommodations and restaurants on the island and it's safe, unlike the Belize City area. The best was to get around, is rent a golf cart for the duration of your visit. You can take several day trip out of there and there is plenty to do. If you ever get serious about it, hit me up and I'll make several recommendations for you. I stay at the same place every year, the Grand Caribe. https://www.grandcaribebelize.com/

If in Wyoming you got to hit up Devils Tower. We were up there a 2 years ago. We stayed at a campground in Sundance Wyoming and took our motorcycle on jeep trails to Devils Tower. Each time we went to the west side of the mountains we got a unique view of Devils Tower.
Just a fantastic day of riding with a happy ending of hiking around the tower. We ended the day at a small reservoir to go swimming. Unfortunately we didn't have bathing suits so we swam naked. |

Montana is definitely amazing, especially during the warmer months. I stayed near Whitefish which is in northwest Montana near a ski resort. All the hiking/mountain biking you could imagine, plenty of fishing spots including Flathead Lake, and within a couple of hours from Glacier National park. I was there two weeks and never got bored.

Did a driving tour out West several years ago. Be advised that there is nothing that’s close together. Every day was at least a six hour drive. Would do it again, it was beautiful, but wish we would have made our agenda more realistic.

If you are looking for off-the-beaten-path and you want to avoid the swankier (pricier) respites like Jackson Hole, Park City, and Aspen try Idaho. There are dozens of skin-head neo-Nazi survivalist dude ranches if you're into that sort of thing.

Sure 35 years ago, now tell him about the camps in Germany. And BTW it was one big one in Hayden led by a guy that liked publicity.

Wish I could be more help, but 99% of my knowledge of MT/WY is about the fishing.
I can tell you that Missoula has become a pretty busy and expensive little town. Nearby is a bison preserve that you can drive through. Fairly high chance you’ll be surrounded by a hundred of them at nice or twice before you finish the drive. Lo-Lo is not too far from Missoula, which is where ‘Yellowstone’ is timed. You can drive right by the ranch. Glacier is really cool. Otherwise, the fishing is great/amazing, especially if you fly-fish. But there are also float trips you can take on the Flathead that are spectacular for taking pictures.

I did a Great Plains circle back in 2018 or 2019. We did this in chronological order.
1. Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse. Grade: C. It really is a bit of an abomination against nature. It was kind of cool to see the rough shape of Crazy Horse still being carved, though. 2. Black Hills. Grade: B. If you don't do a lot of western landscapes you'd give it a higher grade. It was pretty cool, but I've toured a lot of the west already. 3. Deadwood. Grade: C. Just stopped for lunch. Kind of okay touristy town. 4. Devil's Tower. Grade: A. You don't have to spend much time here, but you really should spend some time here. It's a very unique place. 5. Little Big Horn. Grade: A. This is perhaps the best historic battle site I've ever visited. They've really worked to understand what happened, and they lay it out in a great way. (We also visited Big Hole Battlefield, which is not nearly as well documented, but it's got some good historical context.) 6. Glacier National Park. Grade: B. The Going-To-The-Sky Road is amazing. You really should do that. The rest of the park is a bunch of trees and stuff. The drive up there is kind of interesting because there are a bunch of road signs in a really funky native language. 7. Yellowstone National Park. Grade: A. Okay, I'll confess that I'm not into driving 30 miles in the park to see some mud bubble. The geothermal stuff is overrated. But it's cool to see the buffalo (err, bison), and we got to see a bunch of tourists stand around near a mother grizzly bear and her cubs, though I didn't get the exciting ending to that that I hoped. We stayed at a couple of different lodges, and the view at the one on the big lake is worth the stay. We also drove through the Tetons on our way out, which are very pretty and look very different than the Colorado Rockies. Oh, I also achieved a lifelong dream of visiting the town of Lame Deer, Montana. I'm a bit of a mapophile, and I've always seen the town of Lame Deer on maps out there in the middle of Big Sky country, and wondered what it was like. I won't give it a grade because it's not really a tourist destination. We went through town and stopped for lunch at the student center of Dull Knife College, which was the only restaurant we could find. I was pretty excited to do this.
