    No cell service, moochin off some remote satellite wifi so probably won't hear much out of me for a bit - I can hear the clapping from here :-)
    As long as you're not being flown to a hospital, you can take a break.

    There should be a t-shirt ... I wore my butt out in Yellowstone ... Man you have to do a lot of driving. Averaging about 175 miles a day.

    And, way, way, way, way, way, way to many people at the main attractions.
    If you want to see Old Faithfull or the Prismatic pools, buy a postcard.
    If you want to see the baffalo, no problem, you'll be stuck in traffic and they come to you.

    That is why we like the Tower Falls campground.  Away from most of the people.  The most wildlife in Lamar valley.

    Why so many miles? Are the points of interest really spread out?

    Helps to get off the road and out of the vehicle....took lots of trails to sites and when coming from longer trails to get there, not really a lot of walking traffic (everyone wanted to take the easy way to see things).

    If you have time and need a break, drive out of the West Yellowstone entrance and  along Hebgen Lake until you get to Cabin Creek Campground (just past the lake). Primitive, no hookups, but it's in a great  location. If you pay a little something to the folks at Campfire Lodge just across the road, you can use their showers. They have a great breakfast as well. Lots of hiking in the area. I never head into Yellowstone unless I have visitors.

    Cabin Creek is good.  There are some places along Quake Lake, too, I think.

    We go to Yellowstone almost every year, but we go in October, after most of the park services are closed but before West Yellowstone business take their pre-winter break.  It's a whole lot less crowded, the weather is usually great.  We've stayed in hotels before, but this year we will have our CS-S!

    Yes, it's a really big park.  3,500 square miles or so.  Eight biggest NP.

    Photomom - It's big monster with many side attractions away from the main things.
    Beautiful drive between the park and Cody.
    Stayed at Eagle Creek just outside the east entrance. Wapiti was just too far out Sabel - And, it was full other than for one night.

    FYI - there are currently multiple fires burning in Yellowstone, and air quality in West Yellowstone ventured into the  unhealthy category this afternoon. Clearer now.
