Different question about Yellowstone
I haven't seen this one asked yet... For the veterans of Yellowstone,... Would you feel comfortable taking a Jeep with a soft top into the park for sightseeing? What about no top? Doug

I don't see a risk for game viewing and transiting through the park with or without a soft top.
We just got back from a month in Africa with many hours and days in soft topped safari vehicles. We had stealthy hyenas, aggressive hippos, charging elephants, and a pride of lions surrounding us in the dark. The top was for sun protection. but also for concealment. We were told by the guides that people in the vehicle are not recognized at predator or prey if they are not moving or making identifiable noises. A silhouette or loud voice is recognizable, changes things, and was not permitted.
We were told by the rangers in YNP that bison are comfortable with people in vehicles, but have issues with people walking near them.
