We spent the day trying to see as much of the park as possible. It is MUCH larger than you might imagine - probably in excess of 200 miles of road in the "figure 8" of main roads in the park. AND, you don't do these 200 miles in 200 minutes - get that out of your head!
We were able to see Old Faithful and get some lunch on the south side of the park, see most of the geysers on the west side of the park along with some short hikes to the different pools and mudpots.
We decided to add a day to this part of our adventure and were able to get a great room in West Yellowstone, MT (literally right outside the west entrance to the park). There are plenty of hotels. This is also where I stayed when I came back for the winter snowmobiling trip as you can get a more personalized trip rather than the 15 snowmobiles in a trail that you get when you stay in the park.
