I am close to booking reservations with yellowstone for 2008. I think it would be nice to stay IN the park, maybe the Yellowstone Lodge. Old Faithful is a short walk away, and it's one of the main staging areas for all the bus tours.
I have been advised to take the bus tours for exploring the park......you avoid the hassles of all the traffic and 50 foot RV's slowing down to take buffalo pictures, and you end up seeing more.
Thoughts??

We and our adult daughter made our first trip to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons this past summer, and it was well worth the 5000 mile round trip. We were there at the end of August, so we didn't experience the traffic jams or parking problems that we were warned about. We did have to stop a couple of times to let the bison cross the road - took a picture of one from about five feet away as he walked by the car window. With small kids, I think it would be great fun to actually stay in the park, and that would give you a lot more time to actually view the sights.
We did a float trip through the Tetons and really enjoyed it.
