This has nothing to do with a trip to Yellowstone, but a man's trip with \\;his son. It was originally posted by another member and it's a great read: \\; http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=265019

Take full rain gear/cold weather gear.
I went 2 years ago over the 4th of July holiday. It was almost 90 degrees when we were at Old Faithfull. 3 hours later we were in a SNOW storm and freezing our butts off from the snow/wet/cold halfway up the upper loop. Had no rain gear with us.
The weather in Yellowstone can be CRAZY, and it can change radically on you in an hour. There are almost NO places to pull over for shelter once your in there.
Take appropriate gear for 30-90+ degrees, and carry it will you at all times.
That was the last time I ever headed out without rain gear. Lesson learned the hard way.

The second time we went we ask the ranger at the entrance about the road conditions. She said that such and such a road (don't remember which one) was being worked on and said that the alternative route would be fine. \\; The alternative route sucked big time. \\; Add the rain and snow and it was almost unbearable (and we had gear). \\; Last time for me

Been there several times and it is a nice ride. \\; I would get reservation on line if you are going to stay in the park. \\; No matter which way you go there or leave it is good. \\; Be prepared for a lot of traffic stopping to make pictures of the wildlife, which also may be standing in the road.
