Ok. So no super crazy mountain climbs?
Well Yellowstone is at 9000 ft or so depending on where you are in the park. So you have to gain altitude. But millions of people make the drive every year. So you should be fine.
I'll completely disagree with the above comment tho. Yellowstone is all about geothermal features. Geysers, hot pools, mud pots and so on. The Tetons are a mountain park. Totally different. I'm not saying that I don't like the Tetons because, I do but the activities are like night and day. Take the boat ride across the lake if you go there.

There have been comments here that the tour is discontinued. That's too bad, we enjoyed taking it. But even when they were doing it, the tour was only offered a couple of times per week. So unless you were staying in the area you probably wouldn't have been there at the right time.
As for Wall Drugs, yes it is pure tourist trap, but it is the very best of that type of attraction. We always drop by when we are in the area.
