should I change Lodging for 7+ day trip?

I%26#39;ll be going to Yellowstone at the end of August for a 7-9 days. I have reservations so I can split our stay between Lake Yellowstone Cabins(the yellow ones) and a Western Cabin at Canyon. Any big advantage to changing location during the trip? Also any input on which cabin/location you like best is also appreciated. One more Q, what do you think of Mammoth cabins that time of year? Seems like that area will be pretty dry by the end of August. Thanks so much for your insights!

It%26#39;s only about 16 miles from Lake to Canyon so I would question why you would want to make that change. Perhaps from Lake or Canyon to Old Faithful or from Lake to Roosevelt might make more sense. I%26#39;m not that fond of the Mammoth area so I wouldn%26#39;t recommend that as a place to stay, but others might.

I agree with above comments. Lake is nice to visit at end of day for a meal but mostly to sit on the deck with wine/beer and snacks, sit back, on watch the meadow and possible bison.

I agree, there is no reason to stay at Lake and change to Canyon. Canyon may be a bit busier with a night bar/restaurant scene, but Lake has a prettier location. Canyon is a bit more centrally located, but again 16 miles makes little difference in YNP. I am not that fond of mammoth either, it is interesting for a couple of hours, that is all. And in August, it will be very hot there! Try Old Faithful area if you like a busier vib or Roosevelt if you like it quiet, but only if you want to change it up. You%26#39;ll be fine as long as you are staying in the park.

Lake is my favorite but I also love the cabins at Mammoth-they have great porches and we had elk in the courtyard. Canyon is a great location but busier, and the cabin we stayed in there was not nearly as nice as the ones at Lake or Mammoth-others may be better. However, we added an extra night in the middle of our upcoming trip and will stay at Canyon that night because it%26#39;s a lot cheaper-only $80 compared to $123 at Mammoth and $145 at Lake.

If price doesn%26#39;t matter and it%26#39;s between Lake and Canyon, I%26#39;d personally pick Lake.

Thanks so much to all for the great advise. Can%26#39;t wait for our trip!
