We were there this past summer and rather than deal with driving, parking, timing, etc. we elected to take advantage of the pros: Yellowstone Vacations tours - they use a 24 passenger bus and get you to all the major stops in an all-day excursion. We got to Yellowstone Falls in time to see the rainbow at the foot of the Falls, and got to Old Faithful just before it erupted. We also had the added attraction of seeing Beehive Geyser erupt right before Old Faithful. You board their bus in West Yellowstone at 8:00 am and return to their garage around 4:00 pm - if you're staying in West Yellowstone they will pick you up and drop you off.

Might work for some .............But....:h

X-2, I don't like being on someone else's schedule. ;)

Think it is Definitely the Schedule that is the issue - Some 30+ years ago on a trip with the boys and one cousin "Schedule" had 4 days to do the 2200 miles back - we started out of Yellowstone to head Home at 8 in the AM - only to spend the entire day checking on all the spots we had Missed earlier in the week - so around 8 that PM we had made it to Cody - Being young and trying to stick to the Schedule we (I) continued driving East - This was before the Forum and all the shared info - so straight across RT 14 we went, full Moon and all so we had some idea what we were missing think it was around 2 in the AM we started down the far side of the Big Horns to see the Northern Lights - OMG - Beautiful - Thanks Goodness for No Schedule - didn't wake the Boys and are reminded every year, that they Missed It.

So Moral of the story - you can't see it all - Period. Do as much as you can and You will LOVE IT, Nature at it's Best.

8 Days later we arrived home having see Oh So much more than we had "Scheduled". - :B

JMHO,
