[quote=Anonymous]There are quite a few options for lodging in Yellowstone, and this is a good time to book.  We've stayed at the Old Faithful Inn, a historic hotel, but there are many other options in that part of the park, as well as other areas.  Old Faithful Inn has a beautiful lobby in the style of the classic national parks lodges.  We really enjoyed hanging out on the deck in the evenings -- you can read or play cards, and enjoy the view.  This area of the park is quite crowded, though, so you might want to consider alternatives if that would bother you.  (We were fine with it as we took day trips every day to different parts of the park that were not as tourist-y.)

You can also stay in Jackson Hole (WY) and drive up to Yellowstone through Grand Teton National Park, or stay in GTNP itself (Jenny Lake Lodge is a great option there).  If you choose to do this, it's not really a day trip (2-3 hour drive to Old Faithful area, for example), so, you'll still want to spend 2-3 nights in Yellowstone.

Both Yellowstone and GTNP have amazing hiking; there are also swimming holes and lakes for canoeing and kayaking.  We have gone with  with our extended family, and found that it's best for kids in late elementary grades and older.  With younger kids, you're more limited in hiking options and, as a result,  the trails will be more crowded.  [/quote]
