Not quite winter, definitely not summer. Weather could turn on a dime.

Is the firehole still swimable?

I have heard the firehole is crowded all the time.

It’s not when it’s cold.

As I age, I really like spending more time in the Lamar Valley than other, more popular areas.

If you haven't been before, the Old Faithful area is pretty nice

Kind of depends where you are starting from. If in West Yellowstone, I'd do

Also recommend the Audio GuideAlong tour (used to be called GyPSy Guide)

Definitely wouldn't waste time driving to Mammoth. It's fine but it's a lot of driving.

I’d hit the waterfalls and do some back country hikes.

1-day: Take the detour to the Museum of Military Vehicles if anyone in your group loves history and patriotic places

Are you sure roads haven't closed for winter yet? Even without snow they often close early/mid October...

Is there a reason not to spend one of those days in the tetons?

Day 1: southern half (old faithful, etc). Day 2, Tetons. Day 3 northern half of the park.

We usually just drive wherever we feel like and make stops along the way

Just don’t let one of your kids drop your phone down the commode

Make an early start. Driving the park at dawn can reveal a lot of wildlife.
