A quick tip about Yellowstone....the park is laid out as a figure eight with the top zero having the most wildlife and the bottom zero having the most geysers. Plan your trip accordingly. Old Faithful is in the lower zero. There is a lodge there that is not to be missed. You can get a great view of the geyser from the upstairs lounge, or you can get closer sitting on their benches. We did both. For wildlife viewing, take the upper zero. Remember the animals are more active in the mornings and at dusk. Lunch at Fort Yellowstone....Dennis

Good advise but last September we saw more animals in the lower zero depends on the season perhaps - ask the ranger they will tell you where to go

Or just follow the car jams ?? if people are pulled off the road it means some kind of critter is close. As far as animals in lower or upper part of loops we saw animals all over the place and had a lone wolf right across the road from us near Fishing Bridge. Now that was rare and amazing.
