I'm only good for about 3 or 4 miles max on a hike (round trip), so that might be a limiting factor for me.
No need to backpack. Lots of good trails in that range so even with that limitation you can see a lot of really cool stuff that the general public will never see. Get a hiking book or two. I highly recommend Best Easy Day Hikes for Yellowstone. It will help you pick hikes you can handle.
Oh, and I recommend good hiking shoes. Your feet will thank you. Yellowstone was the place where my wife and I realized that regular sneakers were the worst things to wear on back country trails.
