Headwaters is about a mile from the entrance to Yellowstone. It is a ways from the first junction, but it's a beautiful around Lewis Canyon and Lake, etc. before you get there. Probably will take less than an hour our of your day to get to the junction. It's no longer to get into Yellowstone from Headwaters than it is from West Yellowstone. Just get up a little bit earlier and you'll be fine. That's what we do when we go to Yellowstone from Colter Bay, just get up a bit earlier than usual for fishing, drive to Yellowstone, spend all day there and then get back to our FW while it's still daylight, 8:00 or so. Might even grab a dinner in Yellowstone or just get a late one at the FW. Honest to God, it's not really that far.
