We spent a week here in July. I'd heard horror stories of traffic jams, but I did a lot of research and I'll impart some wisdom on to you: GO. EARLY. If you're there in July/August at their peak season, hit the popular spots first or you'll struggle for parking. Take water with you and go to the bathroom before you even enter the park so you don't have to wait in line. Make sure you see Prismatic Springs and Old Faithful, but you've GOT to see the Brink of the Lower Falls and Inspiration Point at the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone as well as Lamar Valley and Mammoth Springs. Hit the Geyser Basins if you can at all! If you can, go up through Grand Teton and enjoy a sunset at Oxford Bend.
