  1. My only trip to Yellowstone/Grand Teton was the first full week of June, i.e. the week after Memorial Day. It was relatively warm in Jackson Hole and Grand Teton, but it got chilly at times in Yellowstone. During that one week trip I experienced bright sunny days and cold rainy days, but no snow.
  2. The view from behind the museum is the 'classic' view of the Towers during sunrise. You could drive past the bridge and just when you reach the first curve (on the way up to the tunnel, that is) you could see the Towers; the foreground is a bit of the river and the marshland.

    Have you been to Zion before? I second the comment that you will need to spend some time to understand the characteristics of different shooting locations at Zion. The lighting can be very challenging due to the deep shadows or extreme highlights (on the sandstone towers). See my post a while ago on this issue.

  3. Let's do a quick math - say you buy the stuff from the store and your total purchase for the 5D + 24-105 + 70-200 is $4500. With the 8% sales tax, your tax would be $360 (this is the amount you would save if you purchased them in Oregon). The rental car plus its ridiculous fees and gas would probably cost you $80-100. Flying on Southwest to Portland, OR and taking the taxi to the store might cost you more than $200. And remember you only have 24 hours (or less) to do all this. Driving to Vegas and back is doable but risky and exhausting, especially after your long flight to LAX.

     

    If you have a friend in LA, buy online and ship it to your friend's address in LA. This way you can use your 24 hours to visit your friend and have a good time while waiting for your flight to Europe.
