Yellowstone/GTNP: move or stay put?

With four kids, I'd try to get a place with hookups. Fishing Bridge in Yellowstone and Colter Bay (the RV hookup side) for GTNP would be my choice.

This would be my suggestion.

For Yellowstone, just choose a loop each day and explore that thoroughly.

There was another post yesterday stating that West Yellowstone had 2-hour waits to get through the entrance gate in the morning. I sure wouldn't want to deal with that to begin the day.

If you want to poke around in West Yellowstone or surrounding area, head out the gate in the morning - there would be no traffic in that direction, then return into the park late afternoon or after dinner.

There are two large groceries just south of entering the town of Jackson. Smith's on the west and Albertson's on the right. Stock up as W. Yellowstone just has a couple small mom & pop stores. There's also a liquor store next to Smith's and a good fuel station. Also a laundry if needing that.

Have fun planning this trip. You'll all enjoy it.

Make sure you scour each park's official web site for lots of good information on what to do, road construction areas, etc.
