Has anyone in the Lounge ever been?

Outside of walking through the park, are there any activities you would recommend while visiting?

Some friends and I were looking at roadtripping from Denver this summer and were hoping to camp there for about a week.

Did it about 10 years ago and I've wanted to go back ever since, but life happened .

Other than the back country hikes in the park, we did most of our activities on the road trip there and back.

I've been a couple of times. Personally for backpacking I prefer Jackson Hole, I just did the typical tourist thing in Yellowstone looking at geysers, Yellowstone Falls and such. I can't imagine there isn't more one could do though, it's a fairly large park.

Most visitors, being the lazy Americans they are, drive the park loop and complain about the crowds. The good news in that for you is that by getting a mile from the road you get away from 90% of the people. And that's literally, not figuratively. Lots of

Just went

It's awesome

You drive around the park and do short hikes from various stopping points.

A must do is a half day private guided fishing trip on Yellowstone lake

Been three times. Headed there again in Sept. Hike some of the off trails (bear spray recommended) and see the Hayden Valley.
