[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2556107, member: 94154"] You're in for a lot of driving. I'd also recommend taking 296 from Cooke City (NE entrance to Yellowstone) to Cody. It's an equally stupendous drive. Cody is a cool town. If you head down the Idaho side of the Tetons, Mount Glory is a fun day hike. Get the family to swim in the waters fed right off the snow fields so they can claim Polar Bear status. About 2 months ago, the road between Livingston and the north entrance, along the Yellowstone River, had one elk herd of easily 300 head and multiple, smaller ones. I suspect they've moved up into the mountains for cooler air by now. Although I appreciate the wildlife in Yellowstone, I loathe the crowds, and avoid the park. You can spend hours in bear jams behind tourons at the park. In reality, anywhere you go in the area is packed with beauty and if you're lucky, you'll see tons of wildlife. If you head south out of the Hole, turn left at Hoback Junction, the road follows and runs through the Bridger Teton NF. Between Bondurant and Pinedale, there are oodles of recreation opportunities, and you can spend days hiking and camping in the Gros Ventre and Wind River ranges. [/QUOTE]
