Is beautiful for sure...Greater Yellowstone (which includes the adjacent Grand Tetons, Wind River, Beartooth, Absoroka and Gros Ventre mountains and millions and millions of acres of spectacular National Forest land in those mountains) is still my favorite spot on earth.

California's insanely diverse natural areas and the Southern Utah-Northern Arizona area are a close tied for second.

I still have not visited the Pacific Northwest NPs or Glacier NP though...so that could still change

Just spent 2 days in Glacier NP and am still processing the grandeur of that place. Bucket List item without a doubt, Uncle Uly.

I do love Yellowstone.

That said, lumping grand Teton into Yellowstone is a bit discrediting to GT. It’s my favorite part of that area and I don’t consider it Yellowstone. Grand Teton > Formal Yellowstone

I’m partial to large mountains. On that note, Galcier should be at the top of your list since you haven’t been.

The whole area is called the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem by scientists...I did not make that up...but I get what you are saying to a point.

Grand Teton National Park...well the whole Jackson Hole (valley...the famous town in Jackson Hole is Jackson Wyoming for those that get confused) is my favorite spot in my favorite place on earth.

I have wondered with all the heat this year if they had to close the NW road up to Mammoth Hot Springs like they did my last trip there. It got so hot the pavement went soft and they shut it down. That whole area is on my list of places I love to visit, but still prefer to live just minutes from SMNT. Jackson Hole is fun though. That antler arbor is just weird.

Not Ulysees, but I've been to both so I'll give my 2-cents. Each trip is amazing for different reasons. I'd say it all comes down to what you're looking for, how important wildlife and thermals, etc are to you.

Yosemite is strikingly beautiful, GC is awe-inspiring; much better than I expected. Valley of Fire SP was cool and worth seeing if you're in the area, but i wouldn't plan a trip for it, better places to spend my limited amount of time. I was shocked at how beautiful Nevada was on the drive from Vegas to Tahoe (then to Yosemite).

For me, the draw to Yellowstone is the wildlife; but Grand Teton is also stunning.

Been to Yosemite twice, spent 10 days in Yellowstone/GT, and waiting to go back again. May work a summer there soon.

And it makes it less crowded, thus more enjoyable visiting.
