We are also planning a summer 2014 visit to Yellowstone and the Tetons. We are planning a 10 day vacation to the area. I've done lots of research lately on the area and I'm really looking forward to it. We are going June 19-29th. I'm sure it will be busy but hopefully not as busy as the July 4th time frame. I didn't want to go too early and have the weather be chilly..
I've been to Yellowstone in the third week of June four times, and each time I've encountered a dusting of snow. Just enough to be enjoyable, not close roads, etc. Days still warmed up to 60s, 70s. Would rather deal with the chill of June than the crowds of July.
One year, we came back into Yellowstone for a night on our way back from Glacier. Was July 8th and I could see that the park was far more crowded than it was just two weeks earlier.
This years trip was impromptu, no advance planning, in August because that was the only time we had. Went without reservations, and was able to have a very enjoyable week. Key to enjoying the park when its crowded is get up at dawn, and enjoy the popular thermal areas when others are still in bed.
