Drive Through or Around Yellowstone
The wife and and I are planning a June 2016 trip to Yellowstone, among other stopping points, over a 3 week vacation. We plan to stay several nights on the west side of Yellowstone in West Yellowstone...

Where are you coming from? Kansas?
All entrances are usable, except the NE one (from Red Lodge).
Yellowstone is a 'mountain top', so all routes require some sort of climb.
I90 to West Yellowstone will have the easiest, but from Kansas that involves driving all the way around the north side.
I80 to Grand Tetons and through the park is probably the most direct.
I80 to I15 to US20 coming at WY from the south is also easy.
Many people coming from the east take US16 over the Big Horn Mtns to Cody, and from there to the east entrance. That is a logical choice if camping at Fishing Bridge.
