Have fun, and bring back many photos.

Read what they say on animal attacks. Moose are the real nasty ones.;) Also groups of three or more people are rarely attacked.
 
Bridge Bay is considered the one of the best central locations. I had a camp sight there about a month ago and loved it. It was perfect. There so many things to do in Yellowstone. Depends on if you are a hiker or not.
 
Well, we're back - what an awesome trip!

I'll let the photos do the talking:

5 days, 1500 miles, and 750 photos. A trip to be remembered for a long time, no doubt.

Things to remember:
Tripping & falling in a 100+ year old cemetery isn't as ominous & foreboding as you might expect. We had a great journey, regardless.
Lander & the Wind River area is absolutely gorgeous. Worth a trip unto itself.
The Grand Tetons are cool, even when it's cloudy & rainy.
Yellowstone & GTNP aren't just about the visual - take in the sounds, the smells and the feelings too.
Beartooth Highway is SO worth the drive.
Cody Gunfighters put on a great show, every single night, all summer long. For charity.
Hotel Irma looks/smells/feels like a truck stop, and their service was horrible.
Proud Cut Saloon makes a mean burger, and their beer is cold.
ih8mud members make some awesome suggestions.

Thanks everyone!

Great pics.

We stopped at this mountain. If you have some good binoculars you can usually pic out some mountain goats and bighorns up on the side of the mountain.
