we like the rock springs, wy, to pinedale, wy, hoback junction, then up to Jackson, Tetons and into yellowstone from the south. Jackson will have some white water rafting on the Snake River, and a ski lift and a shootout on the square every afternoon.
Yellowstone will have horse back riding, wagon ride, hiking, boat excursions on the lake.
wi fi will be iffy in the parks, but available around the lodges and visitor centers and up by Mt. Washburn. Take binoculars.
2X on these directions. Spend some time in Tetons (Gros Ventre Campground is great). From North Texas you will have to cross some mountains at Raton Pass. Not a bad pass, just go slow and enjoy the 25 minutes of this journey. The drive thru Denver should be schedule during off-peak hours. Sunday early AM is not bad. Watch the wind direction on I-80 as 20+ mph winds from the North or South will cause a little arm strain and nervous tension. The mountain drive in southern Yellowstone Park is exciting, just keep your eyes on the road and on the vehicle in front of you. It will stop, a lot!
