re: Bozeman or Jackson hole for visiting Yellowstone?

Mid to late September is prime for Yellowstone. Elk in rut, predators fattening up for winter, kids in school and less crowded.

This. Lima will probably jump in but stuff in Teton Village and Jackson starts to shut down in late Sept and Early OcT. It doesn’t mean there’s not plenty to do or you won’t have a fantastic vacation, just you won’t have every option.

Some of my favorite things are a pitcher at the Dornans deck, apps and beer on the deck at Piste, etc shut down early. But Sept and early OcT are amazing times there.
