re: Yellowstone

Want to bump this thread.
Looking at taking my 65 year old dad (who is in good health) fishing out west in September. Fishing is somewhat secondary, but catching fish is prerequisite.
RMNP or Yellowstone? Best bang for buck?

Yellowstone is terrible in the summer. I live 6 hours from it and only go during spring or winter.

We have done Jackson Hole/GTNP/Yellowstone. Great trip but didn't have enough time in Yellowstone.
I'm thinking next summer to do a few nights in Big Sky then a few in Yellowstone.
How does Big Sky compare to JH other than the obvious of being next to GTNP.

Are you wanting to go fishing out west in the Rockies or go to the parks? I’d look at Idaho as far as best bang for your buck. Also southern Montana.
Unless you want to see something specific to the parks, there’s a lot of areas out there that are incredibly beautiful. People fish a lot in the parks because they are already there, not necessarily because it’s the best place to go just for the fishing. Not saying you shouldn’t do both, I’m simply saying you don’t have to.
Southern Montana is also fantastic just north and east of Yellowstone.

I personally enjoy Grand Teton national park more than Yellowstone.

I know this seems to be the hot take on this board but how? Tetons is great and all but it's just mountains and lakes. Yellowstone has the thermal pools, geysers, grand canyon with the falls, hot springs, and way more wildlife. What is it about Tetons that I am missing?

The fact that you can sit on your arse in a car to see most of Yellowstone, versus having to actually get out and hike into the Tetons makes all the difference in the world.
That’s why I don’t like Yellowstone. You see true wilderness away from your car.

I mostly agree with you. Yellowstone has more to offer. Its also busier and its so big and slow driving I think it feels busier. But something like 95% of visitors don't get past 1/2 mile from the road.
The thing I really like about Teton's is you can be in civilization for breakfast and dinner and 10 miles deep for lunch. Yellowstone is remote and doesn't have the perks that the Tetons do.

Thanks for the info.
To answer your question, a little bit of both. My dad is one of those "I don't want to go anywhere", but he is a huge fan of the outdoors - just not a traveler. We are convincing him to go because of the fishing, but realize he will have a blast with the scenery when we get there.
So, we need to find good fishing (not necessarily the best), that is easily accessible to some good trails etc.
Thanks again
