I made the trip from Central CA to Yellowstone last year. I crossed the Sierras on I-80 through Tahoe. I agree about UT but didn't have time and we've previously camped outside Arches and Canyon Lands.
We entered the park through West Yellowstone. The one problem I had was major construction about 50-75 miles before West Yellowstone. They were completely redoing the highway so the right lane had been ground down and the driving line had no shoulder and had a foot or more drop down. Of course I hit that stretch after dark. I had a blowout about 10 miles from West Yellowstone. I'll never know if I damaged my right tire during that stretch or if it was a coincident. (looking back, tire probably had sun damage even though it looked good and was only a couple years old.) I wouldn't want to drive that stretch at night again.
Hopefully construction is complete but worth checking. Entering through Grand Teton via route listed above might be a way around.
Did have a very nice policeman from West Yellowstone stop and help. Thankfully we were able to get a last minute spot in small campground in West Yellowstone so I could get a replacement tire before going into the park.
Absolutely make sure you go into Grand Teton for at least a day.
