We spend a week in Yellowstone evey year, and its a different experience every year. We really like late May / early June bacause all the baby animals are out. If you're early enough, you can see the fish jumping in Hardy Rapids. We were snowed on over the 4th of July a few years ago. We have stayed at Grizzly and it is a very nice park. Worth the price, don't do the KOA. We stay a couple nights at Grizzly so we can go to live plays at the Playmill Theatre. But then we move into the park and will spend the rest of the week in the park. Yellowstone is soooooo big, you can spend half the day just commuting back and forth to Grizzly. We've stayed at Madison, Mammoth (Gardner), Canyon, Fishing Bridge, and Bridge Bay. Wouldn't say that we have a favorite over another, just depends on what part of the park we're concentrating on. We can do and see a lot more if we're already in the area and not commuting.
Talk to the rangers when you see them. They ususally know where the people have scopes set up to see bears, and most spotters will share the experience and let others look through their scopes.
When you get to the Tetons, be sure to do a river rafting trip down the snake as well. You'll be there when the water and rapids are at their peak. And the Bar-J Wranglers put on a good dinner show as well.
