Because for most vacationing families, a trip to Yellowstone means taking the shortest route there, tour the park and take the shortest route back home. Personally, after a long day in the park the last thing I want to do is cook anything. Bring on the full service restaurant. And having cell service "nearby" doesn't help when I need to call or log in to the office.

The shortest route from Iowa would take them through the east entrance. Check your maps, It's a much longer drive around to get to West Yellowstone. Now, if there was a East Yellowstone?!!! Oh, I forgot that would be Cody. There is a big Walmart in Cody to stock up at just before entering the park.

Nearly 50% of all visitors to Yellowstone enter from West Yellowstone, so I used that as my example. Of course if you lived in Cody, Fishing Bridge would be closer than West Yellowstone. However, Cody and the big Walmart are a bit out of the way for someone coming from LA for a couple of weeks. One of the nice things about Yellowstone is there are several equally good options depending upon people's wants and desires.
