A couple friends and I did the cross country thing after college (CA to DC). We spent three weeks and it still felt like we were always driving. That advice is spot on - get where you want to be and then spend some time.
We only ventured into that very SW corner of Montana on our way to Yellowstone. We camped in a National Forest not far from Yellowstone, but in Montana. We saw a porcupine and had a couple moose (meese?) walked through out campsite. I have to say, that night camping was actually better than the next day we spent in Yellowstone. Of course, we just saw the main sights (i.e. Old "not so" Faithful) then drove on through - I'm sure Yellowstone had more to offer than the 15 minute traffic backup so the line of cars could see a buffalo rolling around in the dirt beside the road. I'm sure the other 99% of Yellowstone, where there are fewer people, is better.
Have fun!
