Yellowstone, '16
We are in the planning stages right now. I've never been, a few coworkers have but they are hotel people. I am taking the TC and my family loves the outdoors, animals and hiking. We are thinking early...

TNRIVERSIDE and others: We have 10 days reserved for late June 2016. Would you mind posting an itinerary that keeps you busy for a long visit?
We took our only long trip out west 2 summers ago and experienced first hand how a park can touch you differently when you have time to sit and take in the quiet spirit of a place. We enjoyed finding beautiful spots to just sit and have 3 hour picnics, etc. HOWEVER, there were a few parks that after 2 days we left early. I suppose every park will speak to individuals differently.
How did you use up the time on a long stay in Yellowstone?
Yellowstone is laid out in a figure 8. Try to divide your time equally in each loop. Otherwise you will use too much time driving over the same roads. We purchased a book "Yellowstone Treasures. The travelers companion to the national Parks." We each highlighted the things we wanted to see. And we were able to see all our list and more. We tabbed each pacge that had a must see on it and removed them as we saw the location.
Worked for us. Enjoy YOUR national park.
PS
Take the time to sit near Hayden Valey early in the morning.
