Heading to Yellowstone/Grand Tetons with the family in July. Staying here for several days in Montana near Gardiner and the north entrance:
Any Yellowstone/Grand Tetons pro-tips?
that is an elite cabin.
my biggest pro tip is to go out early and late and avoid the middle part of the day. since you are staying so far away it will not be practical to drive back to the cabin over lunch, but you should be able to find somewhere to park and rest for a lunch nap. and prepare to drive forever. since you have an elite cabin to store all your luggage, it will be nice to drive around in an empty car, other than food and water for the day.
looking forward to your write up and photos afterwards!

Awesome, thanks mocat! We plan to spend at least 2 full days in the park, maybe 3. But knowing how crowded the park can be I wanted a home base that was also out in nature where we could hike, view wildlife, fish and relax away from the crowds. The cabin is surrounded by 70 acres of private hiking trails and access to the Yellowstone River. The plan is to get as close to camping as we can without actually camping.
I'm also hoping for clear skies because I would love to be able to take advantage of the dark skies for some astrophotography.
