If you go back to Yellowstone and are a backpacker/camper, make arrangements for a backcountry permit ahead of time. The park is a different world when you are out there away from the tourists and bear jams. Beyond amazing. Info here:

The other thing that struck me was how grubby the buildings were. My first thought was, "This entire place needs to be pressure-cleaned."
