Best way to beat the crowds this time of year is to get on the park road by sunrise, or as close as you can. Parking areas around artist paint pots, midway geyser, etc fill up by 9. Old Faithful gets busy too, but there is plenty of parking there, can usually find parking anytime of the day there.
Your early drive will be rewarded by more wildlife viewing, as animals are early risers. Drawback is you will have to spot them yourself as there are fewer folks out and about.
A hike I highly recommend is the 2.5 mile walk out to Lone Star geyser. Very easy, level, on an old road. Lone Star is an impressive geyser, erupting every 3 hours, just like it did in 1872.
