I'm currently in Vancouver and for a long time have wanted to visit Yellowstone National Park. On maps, from Vancouver it is not too far but still a 12-hour drive according to Google. And I would assume that time has to be added for the border crossing.

So what I want to know is if it is feasible to visit Yellowstone National Park and for that, I have three subquestions:

  • If so, what are my options to get there? Should I drive? Take the bus? Fly there?
  • How long do I need to see the sights in Yellowstone? Would it be enough to spend one day to travel from Vancouver, two days sightseeing there and then another day to travel back?
  • Is the Easter weekend particularly crowded and should I avoid it?

Yellowstone National Park won't be open on Easter, other than the road from Mammoth to the northeast entrance. Yellowstone's winter season winds down in early March and the interior roads don't open until mid to late April. So Easter is not really a good time to go.

Hotels and campgrounds don't start opening until the first of May.
