Hypothetically, if your family had 3 days in Yellowstone next week how would you spend the time?

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
