What a park trip costs

A base for a national park rather than a destination in itself, which is why the drive matters more here than the airfare.

Per night is the average of twelve monthly rates for a property sleeping four, so it is lower than a July quote and higher than a January one. A week for eight adds lodging at the larger property size and the daily spend for eight people, and is rounded because it is several estimates multiplied together.
