AVOID THE MOST TRAFFIC BY ENTER THROUGH THE EAST & NORTHEAST GATES FOR ENJOYING YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

Yes, TripAdvisor has many reviews of the traffic problems in the summer but if you take the time and choose the right gates for all your family and friends visiting this summer to see the awesomeness of YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, ensure you click above on the latest Travel Advisories from YELLOWSTONE (top of the page) but also encourage them (if you're not riding along), to use the EAST & NORTHEAST GATES.

According to my research the quickest way is to head toward Cody and use the famous BUFFALO BILL HIGHWAY located about 52 miles from Cody and a beautiful scenic route into YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK.
