We took the long way around from Grand Teton, driving down through Jackson , over the Teton pass into Idaho, alongside the mountains and finally entering the park by passing through West Yellowstone and going in the West Entrance.
Drving around the park on the Loop Road was a breeze. We had a great road map booklet that explained what we were seeing every step of the way.
When we left, we exited through the South Entrance, driving down the John D Rockefeller Memorial Parkway, down through the Tetons and back into Jackson. One Gigantic Loop! Leave a Comment

You don't just have to deal with car traffic. We were stuck for awhile in the Morris canyon by a herd of buffalo using the road as their route to and from places to eat. It is hard to stay 25 yards away when they decide to change course and come right for you. Everyone was patient and I'm sure excited to see buffalo up close and personnal. Theme: Car/Motor Home

Driving in yellowstone- The most crowded season is Summer when driving through the park can be horrendous. I suggest going to the park in May or September. If you do have to go during summer months June-July-Aug, stay in cabins or camp inside the park and do plenty of exploring on foot. Drive to different areas of the park only after you have seen everything in one area. Stop frequently to see wildlife and drive slow always so that you dont kill anything.

Every summer there is road construction. This year they have it between Madison and Norris. During the days there is about a 30 minute delay and no stopping in this area. Also there is some striping still going on between West Thumb and the South Entrance. Check with the park service as to where they are working before you go. It might save you some headache. But the roads for the most part were in good condition.
Do not expect to drive through Yellowstone in the winter - unless you are in a snow coach. The amount of snow they get in the park each year is such that there is no way to keep the roads open to vehicle travel. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

West Yellowstone is by far the most touristy entrance but somewhat convenient.
As above poster stated, the roads are a figure 8. It would probably take 6-8 hours to drive the entire outer edge depending on traffic, even bison traffic :) and that is without stops.
Think of the western side of Yellowstone as the geothermal part of the park,
geysers, mud pots, etc. The Eastern side is more wildlife and open meadows.
And of course the Grand Can. of YNP is there!
See my Yellowstone tips for more info. if you like, I heart YNP! Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Transportation Inside Yellowstone
If you want to explore Yellowstone on your own, you will need your own vehicle. There is no public transportation service provided within Yellowstone National Park. Thus, you will probably want to drive to the park or rent a car to tour the park. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

My family stayed in Jackson, Wyoming prior to our trip up to Yellowstone and this is where BrushBuck Photo Tours picked us up. We had the most wonderful day exploring Yellowstone. We saw not only all of the Geo-thermal activities that anyone could ever seem to want, but we also saw so much wildlife. The highlight of the trip for me was being able to see a pack of wolves running free in the park.
The tour guides were extremely knowledgable about the parks history and knew so much about the animals, I felt like I had taken a fun college class by the end of the day! What was even better was that my family had, at first, planned on renting a car and seeing all the sites ourselves. I'm so glad we went with professionals who knew exactly where to go to see what we wanted.
If I was to return to the area, I would definately book another tour with this company.
