Yellowstone N.P.
I've been all over the Park many times! Has anybody ever rented a helicopter to fly over Yellowstone? There's a lot of places that I would like to still see but, I'm not healthy enough to hike, If so ...

There are helicopter tours, sort of, if you want the really big picture from on high. According to one tour operator, the NPS and FAA do not allow low altitude scenic tours by air, so the closest they can go is 2,000 feet above the ground.
Got a reference for that?? there is nothing on the local sectional saying any thing like that.
Yes: The sentence below is found on this home page of this website found if you Google "Yellowstone Helicopter tours"
Great Yellowstone Resource Guide
"The FAA and National Park regulations do not allow low altitude scenic flights operated over either park and aircraft must stay 2,000 feet above the ground, However you will see the entire Grand Teton National Park from above outside park boundaries, the Grand Tetons at eye level, and the regions mountains, rivers and wilderness as your pilot customizes your flight."
Below that are links to two air tour operators.
