We have been there in the summer with our girls and now with the DGKs, it is bearable now but as noted earlier, not like it was in the eighties and we first went in the seventies. RVpullinGuy wrote;

It is great to have someone else do the driving, it allows you to look out the window, take pictures if you want and relax. Often there is ground fog or clouds as they are correctly names and it that for or cloud is usually snow. There may be a herd of bison with snow all over them walking toward you out of the cloud or an elk standing in the river that is warmed by the geysers eating the last of the years grass on the edge of the water.
I could go on and on about winter visits to Yellowstone and it is my favorite time but each season has it's own beauty. Just seeing that little patch of snow on the cliff wall next to Yellowstone Falls in August or a coyote trying to take a fish from an otter or swans swimming in a river with only their black heads showing against the white background of a snow bank. Of course Old Faithful is always spectacular. First time our DGSD who was about 8 at the time first saw it erupt he turned to Nana and said "that's nothing to speak of, I thought it was bigger", it had been one of those rear times when the eruption last about thirty seconds and an average garden hose could squirt higher. We waited around for the next eruptions and of course it was one of those which really wows, he just stared and said "WOW".
What else is there to say. WOW!!!!!
