What: Yellowstone National Park, the crown jewel of the U.S. National Park Service, in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
How to Get There:
There are five entrances to Yellowstone from all directions. We entered from the east, taking US 20 from Cody, and exited to the south on US 287 (an added benefit is that US 287 runs directly to Grand Teton National Park, which lies immediately south of Yellowstone).
Best Kept Secret:
When you leave Yellowstone National Park on US 287, stop at the Flagg Ranch just outside the south entrance. Their elk chili is amazing!
Avoid:
The winter months, arriving late in the morning (the traffic is heavy), leaving without checking the weather first, and traveling there without cold weather gear. Stay away from the wildlife. The bison, bear and other large animals are not Disney characters!
