If you can plan a ways out, there are several places to stay in the park. I get emails from Yellowstone all the time regarding lodging and things going on in the park. I have been to Yellowstone probably 15 times and I recommend the first two weeks of September to visit. The summers are way too crowded with idiots galore. In September the elk are bugling, the trout are biting, and most of the idiots have gone home. Also spend 1 day in the Tetons if you can. Beautiful scenery everywhere. Jackson Hole is neat with a number of excellent restaurants, but it is an expensive place to visit. If you plan it right you can be there in time to spend a couple of days helping me pack out my elk. Seriously, if you decide to go, reach out to me and I will be glad to share information on anything I can help with. If you love the outdoors, Northwest Wyoming will touch your soul and change you forever.
