Thanks all! I'm seeing more options available as I look at communities just outside the park. I'm wondering if I shouldn't try to highlight a few things we must do and then look for housing close? Man I just don't know anything about the parks.
What are the "must do" activities? Any guidebooks that can help me pick out interesting activities. In a lot of ways my kids are fine with pretty hikes in nature but I'd love to steer them towards their major interests which include wildlife and especially the geological marvels of the park.
Also, I'm kind of freaking out about camping. I mean, speaking of wildlife, we've got black bears for camping here but Yellowstone has grizzlies. I'm on a Yellowstone FB group and I swear half the pictures are sightings of bears, lol! My kids would love to SEE them but it makes me nervous! Talk me down?
