There are no "attractions" as most people think of them. The attraction is in the natural beauty and the wildlife. There are places to stop....Artist's Point is stunning. Of course, there's Old Faithful, Mammoth, the Mud Volcano, Morning Glory Pool, Geyser Basin ....just so many things to see! The Park is divided into loops. There's an Upper Loop (a good day trip, then the Lower Loop, and the Grand Loop, which is basically a figure 8 that encompasses the entire Park, but you really need a lot of time to do that. Look again at that figure 8 and you can see the Upper and Lower Loops. You kinda pick which you want to do. Shoot that lower loop toward the south and you're only a few miles from the entrance to Grand Teton Park. I love Yellowstone - it's different every time we go, and we go a lot!! We usually hit the Park 4-6 times a summer.
For us Yellowstone isn't always a destination - it's our summer and fall route to get from place to place here in Wyoming. When Ken has events in the winter, we have to drive a lot of extra time because the Park is another part of our highway system. To go to Idaho, for example, we go in the East gate and out the West Gate. To go to Jackson, we go in the East Gate and out the South Gate. Yep, it's big!!
