I thought a motorcycle was fine, until I got into a traffic jam near a herd of buffalo. One of them walked between the stopped cars I was trapped with and brushed the side of my fairing as he went past. That sucker was BIG.
If you see a clump of cars, leave yourself lots of room.

I just got home from my two week vacation. A week at Sturgis, then up to Glacier, then down to Yellowstone. I've never seen so many buffalo in my life. I had a park ranger come up behind me and tell me to get going....I showed him the picture I had just taken, and he profusely apologized. There was no frickin' way I was going to proceed with these two monsters directly in front of me!

I grew up on Hwy 212, at Hector, Mn. I saw the signs about the "Yellowstone Trail" all my life. I left Yellowstone via the NE exit, and found myself going over Bear Tooth pass. 10947 feet on the road, and 10,999 in the parking lot above the high point in the road. I couldn't find a spot to actually hit 11,000 feet, but there were others crawling up the rocks who certainly passed 11K feet. It was a long way down!

!
This is exactly why we changed our plans and will arrive on 11 Sept. We're stopping for 3 days on our way south after riding the Icefields Parkway between Banff and Jasper. Really looking forward to the trip. I haven't been to Yellowstone in 40+ years and my wife has never been there.
By the way, if you are 62 or older, you can get a lifetime National Park pass for $10.
Enjoy your trip to Yellowstone and ride safe!

we plan on being there around 17 Sept, rooms still sell out fast in mid Sept.
booked ours last week and prices still high, around $200 per night in West Yellowstone, MT. My wife has never seen it also is reason for going.

Here's a great article on seeing Yellowstone from someone who lives there.
