Questions & Answers
The Grand Loop (198 mi) road travels between most major attractions in the park and is actually a figure eight. Plan on spending at least a day in each half of the Loop. The must-see attractions in Yellowstone are fairly evenly spaced around the loop with plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife on the drive in between. While you can see the highlights of the park in two days, spending more time will let you get off the beaten path and truly experience Yellowstone.
You should expect to pay at least $650 per person for a weeklong visit to Yellowstone. On average, a hotel room or cabin will cost at least $109 per night. Food prices vary depending on experience (dine-in will be more expensive than cafeteria style). You can plan on paying at least $32 per person each day on food and about $15 per person each day on sight-seeing expenses. Prefer camping? Great. Plan on spending a lot less.
