Bozeman is a very nice airport and convenient. If you are interested it also has bus service to Yellowstone. West Yellowstone has United and Delta service, but many fewer flights - and more expensive. Some people fly to Jackson, but the flights are also more limited and more expensive (although Bozeman too is a regional and not the choice or lower cost of flying into a hub (i.e. LAS, DEN, SLC etc.).
We are planning a trip to Yellowstone late July 2029 and will be staying at West Yellowstone. We want to spend a day at Lamar Valley. Where do we park to hike the Lamar Valley Trail and is there a road closure or single lane traffic that we should avoid?
Traveling from Big Sky to Yellowstone with concentration on Lamar Valley for animal sitings. First week of Sept day trip. Trying to decide if we should drive to the North entrance which seems a longer drive (is it a scenic drive??) ) or go the seemingly quicker drive to the West entrance and head to Lamar from there. Probably skipping the crowds of Old Faithful this time around.

We spent a few days in YNP in July and did drive to Lamar Valley to see wildlife. Waste of time. It’s a long drive from Mammoth Hot Springs (with partial loop closure), even longer from West Yellowstone, and the only animals we saw were bisons. You see them all around YNP, and at closer range than in Lamar Valley.
Hi, I'm planning on making a trip to Yellowstone sometime in late may/early June. Just wanted to research as much as possible while planning my trip. We are flying from Pennsylvania to BZN (Bozeman Yellowstone Airport) as we figure it's the closest airport to Lamar Valley. My main concerns were car rentals,driving, and places to stay. Ive been hearing a lot about Gardnier Is there car/SUV rentals nearby? Is there enough gas stations in between? is it easy to get from Gardnier to Lamar Valley? I apologize if these questions seem tedious or novice as i am new to traveling and just trying to know as much as possible and research so im not going in blind. Thank you for any help or tips i appreciate it!

We flew into Bozeman, too. It was a great place to spend some time; we stayed at the C'mon Inn if you are looking to stay. It's a great hotel We staying in the park at the Mammoth Inn 3 nights and then stayed in the four corners of Yellowstone, West Yellowstone, Cooke City, Cody and Jackson. All were lovely places and we enjoyed them additionally to Yellowstone. We rented a car at the airport which was more convenient and didn't seem much more expensive. You will love Yellowstone and see the Grand Tetons too if you have time. We had such a great trip and would quickly do it again.
