Don’t pick your Yellowstone entrance at random! 👇

Most people don’t realize there are 5 different entrances, and they are all hours apart from each other. Picking the wrong one can add 4+ hours of driving to your day.

Here’s the breakdown:

For Convenience: Stick to West Yellowstone or Gardiner. These are the ultimate gateway towns with the most food and lodging.

Grand Teton: Use the South Entrance to head straight into Grand Teton National Park (a must-do add-on!).

The Scenic Route: The East Entrance takes you through Cody, WY, while the Northeast Entrance puts you on the Beartooth Highway, one of the most beautiful drives in America. 🏔️
