[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No direct flights to Yellowstone. Count on flight + couple of hours driving. I've flown in and out of Salt Lake City every time I've visited Yellowstone. Lodges/hotels within park are booked way in advance. Probably a year out. With that said the town of West Yellowstone has lots of hotels but is outside park. If you want to eat dinner in the classic Old Faithful Lodge make reservations way in advance. They only seat so many people at a given time. Lodge is worth a visit regardless. Use the NPS site for YNP. It has valuable info for planning your trip and has a section for day hikes of varying lengths/times. The park is huge and you will end up spending lots of time driving from one section to another depending on what you choose to see. The park will be crazy busy in the summertime. [/quote]

OP here. Can you clarify when you say crazy busy? I've been in NYC during Rockefeller tree going up, Disney a handful of times and places like Zoo Lights and Christmastown where it takes 1-2 hours to get into the parking lot. Trying to decipher what you mean by crazy busy. I don't expect or need to the parks to be empty. I expect lots of tourists. It's not like the parking lot will be backed up with a long wait to park, right?

I can't find direct flights to Jackson, WY. I do see direct non=stop to Salt Lake City but that is a 6 hour drive to Yellowstone vs 2 hours from Jackson.[/quote]
