Getting To Yellowstone
The best way into the park is via the North Entrance (Mammoth Hot Springs). It's open all year, has good access to the wildlife-rich Lamar Valley, and is rarely backed up with traffic. Just outside the entry, Gardiner has a supermarket and an outdoor-equipment store. For park info, go to www.nps.gov.
Where to Stay
Lodgings at Yellowstone are run by Xanterra, a private concessionaire. For info, call 307/344-7311, or see www.travelyellowstone.com.
The Browns recommend:
Old Faithful Inn
(doubles from $109). The park's most famous geyser basin is right outside this historic spot,
filled with nooks and crannies for kids to play in.
Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel
(doubles from $102). A hotel with cabins near the Lamar Valley, the hot springs in Mammoth,
and the Norris geyser basin.
Above the Rest Lodge
(8 Above the Rest Lane, Gardiner, MT; 800/406-7748; www.abovetherestlodge.com;
cabins from $125). Located two miles outside the North Entrance, the lodge has five roomy
cabins.
