>>565618I did it by motorcycle... much more pleasant that way. Speed limit's 45 through the park (it is enforced), and there's long stretches of nothing between the cool parts. When you're stuck behind an RV at 45m/h on those long stretches, it was real nice to be able to zip around them easily.
Cooke City's a neat little town. I want to ride there in the winter someday.
Wild West Pizza in West Yellowstone's great.
Bring camera, extra batteries, and plenty of memory cards. Phone service is real spotty, airplane mode will greatly extend phone battery life.
>>565521Basically this. It's a tourist destination. If you're into camping/backpacking/moto/whatever, there's a TON of places outside the park to do that without all the people. You can see most of the cool stuff in the park in a day. I wouldn't want to spend more than two there.
