Yellowstone Best in Late Spring or Fall?
Beginning plans for a Western excursion in 2017 and have been to Zion and Grand Canyon, but would like to do Yellowstone, Yosemite and Glacier. Welcome all suggestions, routes, etc. Coming from FLA ...

You're planning Yellowstone, Yosemite and Glacier. Each is different for seasons.
Yellowstone is great in May to mid-June and the last week of August through September.
Yosemite is a spring park if you want to view the waterfalls.
Glacier - You'll want to do Going-to-the-Sun Road and it normally doesn't open fully until the 3rd week of June.
For your trip I'd head to Yosemite first then drive along the Oregon coast. Work your way across Oregon via I-84 at Portland or Hwy 26 to I-84 toward Boise/Idaho Falls and then West Yellowstone entrance.
From Yellowstone (& definitely work in Grand Teton Nat'l Park) head north to Glacier for the road opening.
Have a great trip!
