Yellowstone Park in June, any suggestions on where to stay?

[MT22]

My wife and I would like to visit the Yellowstone National Park in June for a few days to see the sights and check out the park. Any suggestions on where to stay for 3 or 4 nights in the park or just outside of would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Kevin.

As someone else said, the park is huge, so stay in multiple places.

For wildlife, the best place to be is Cooke City, MT (near Lamar Valley) or Roosevelt Lodge (inside the park). After that, Gardiner, but get up early to beat the train of tour vans.

For geysers and such, West Yellowstone.

For less people, Cody, WY.

If you enjoy camping you have a lot more option.

As for the park itself - wildlife is best in the north. Wolves are most commonly seen between Gardiner and Lamar Valley, though there is one pack that is sometimes visible down in Hayden Valley. Blacks bears are all over the north. Grizzlies are seen up north, too, though a few more of them are down near the lake (Cody is a good stay for this). Bison, coyotes, and other critters everywhere, though the north is still the best.

Thanks all, today we reserved two places in the park for 5 days of viewing and exploring. We reserved at the Lake Lodge and Canyon Lodge. We also picked our week in the month of August. Thanks again, everyone!!!

I'm in the park about 100 days a year, know it like the back of my hand. As your trip approaches feel free to message me and I'll share any recent news on where the critters are hanging out.
