So, I work in Yellowstone and the rest of the state doesn't really recognize the tourist parts as really true Wyoming. The schedule you described is the Disney tour. Having worked with the Disney tour, it's kinda adventure on rails. It's not a mean criticism, there are few tours that aren't that way. I see the same people leading them every week. You'll be seeing and doing the same stuff every week with people who are way more interested in the Disney brand than they'll be interested in the state of Wyoming. If I'm wrong and you aren't with Disney, my advice is still mostly the same. Focus your attention on the specific places on the tour.

Read all of Yellowstone Resources and Issues.

Grand Teton has a recommended reading list for guides. In addition to that, the rest of both official sites are a trove of information in the "Learn about the Park" sections.

Check out Roadside Geology of Yellowstone Country for interesting features to point out while traveling between locations.

Maybe read some Edward Abbey for your soul. :) I do hope you have a great summer. I came for a summer, fell in love with Yellowstone and then found the rest of the state and decided to never leave.

There's r/yellowstone and r/grandtetonnatlpark subreddits.

Bring a good sun hat and sunscreen. You burn a lot easier/quicker at high altitudes. UV index can be quite high at times so protect yourself from the sun. It can/has snowed every year of the month in Jackson (even July), but it rare. You'll want gear for hot dry to rainy cold to very cold snow/hail. Summer thunderstorms are very common in the summer, always have a rain jacket when out hiking and make sure you understand how best to avoid being struck.

I just bought this book a few weeks ago, but haven't started reading it. Might be good for Yellowstone History. https://www.amazon.com/Empire-Shadows-Epic-Story-Yellowstone/dp/1250023203

I only open carry while backcountry. It's far to cumbersome to try to conceal carry while backpacking. I got myself a very nice holster that carry perfectly on the waistband of my pack.

Titcomb Basin and the Cirque of the Towers are the most popular spots, though you really can't go wrong if you get up and follow the Divide for any length of time. Be prepared for hellacious mosquitoes and snow on passes. And I'd recommend getting a book for your research.

I think the stories, characters and landscapes in this book paint really nice picture: http://www.amazon.com/Close-Range-Wyoming-Annie-Proulx/dp/0684852225

They're going to have to release a third edition of Death In Yellowstone after this year's tourist season.

The real LPT is always in the comments.

Get yourself a ResQLink. It's a button that calls emergency search and rescue, anywhere in the world, as long as you have line of sight to space.

And of course, always have a few basic emergency supplies in your car. A good blanket, a little food and water, a source of heat, fire extinguisher, etc. Basically a full bug-out bag.

Get a big ass long handle ice scraper with a broom. you have to have this in your car at all times. But if you can bring it inside at night as opening your car doors without brooming will get snow inside your car. Don't use a credit card to scrape your windshield.

Sorry for the long link, you need one for each vehicle. Also have a wool hat and gloves, I like a neck buff too. You lose alot of heat through your head and neck.

I bought that one r=this year and like it, but I have lived in the hard cold on and off my whole life and work outdoor at a ranch. I own about 16 jackets, 12 pairs of gloves, 20 hats and piles of long underwear. You accrue a barb wire set, a fishing set ect :D

Awesome to get so many responses! Seems like everyone has their own style of layering. I have a decent amount of hoodies, puffy jackets, a couple fleece, and one soft shell jacket, so I have plenty of mid layers, I guess I just need a jacket for blocking wind. For my head and face I was thinking the bad days I would wear this balaclava and a hood, while the milder days would be a scarf or neck gaiter with a beanie. Luckily I have a decent pair of boots that are waterproof, while are made of leather =/ (found out they shrink in the cold), I think they should do the trick. As far as gloves go, I still dont have that figured out. Should I get thick ski gloves possible with a liner? I dont like how bulky they are but thinner gloves or even fingerless mitts seem to lack wind protection. As for snow pants, I have eyed these a bit, but I think I can get something that works just as well for cheaper. Fortunately for me, I have an above average body temp when exerting, which unfortunately causes me to sweat like a whore on Sunday morning. Initially I will be using some old (polyester) L/S running shirts as a base layer. Hopefully this will wick the sweat enough. I believe that has all clothing needs covered, and now need to look into emergency car supplies.
