Yellowstone is huge. Like, really huge. So if you're asking, “How many days do I need?” the honest answer is: however long you’ve got.
In this quick guide, I’ve broken it down into flexible options based on how many days you have: 1, 2, 3, 4, or even 5 days. Each plan includes top sights, hikes, and a few lesser-known stops.
