We stayed in Wilson, WY. It was a four hour drive from there to YellowStone. We got up early and made the drive. It was easy and scenic. The advice I got was to stay inside YellowStone if that was to be your focus. Simply move around inside the park to various lodges. The other advice was to carry a cooler and pack it accordingly. Anywhere to get food or souvenirs was packed. The cooler was a lifesaver!

I can't understate how packed YellowStone was when we went. That damn buffalo chilling on the side of the road caused a 30 min traffic jam. Also, on the way back to Wilson, there was a wreck on the one road coming in/out of the park. We got stuck for a little over an hour. It worked out though as it gave me an excuse to stop at Jenny Lake Lodge and have a beer or ten on the porch there.

ETA: Sorry to hijack your thread! Best trip we ever took and can't wait to get back out there. Extremely jealous.
