What are the closest airports to Yellowstone. Do you have recommendations? We arrive on June 20th %26#39;09.

Closest airport to Yellowstone

Don%26#39;t really know all the airports in the region, but Jackson, Wyoming is convenient at about 1.5 hours from Yellowstone. Regularly served by American Airlines and other carriers. Located in Jackson Hole beside Grand Teton National Park. Flights there can be more expensive than other options such as Salt lake City which requires a long drive but may be worth it depending upon your budget.

Closest airport to Yellowstone

Major airports in the vicinity of Yellowstone Park are Denver, Salt Lake City and Billings. Of those three Billings would be the closest. Billings to the northeast entrance is 120 miles (over Beartooth Pass).

You can also fly into smaller airports in Bozeman, MT, Jackson, WY and Cody WY. All three are relatively close to the park.

The closest airports to YNP are; Bozeman, Montana(BZN), Billings, Montana(BIL), Cody, Wyoming(COD) and Jackson, Wyoming(JAC). There is also limited seasonal commercial service into West Yellowstone, Montana(WYS). Others choose to fly into Salt lake City, Utah(SLC) and even Denver, Colorado(DEN) and drive the rest of the way to Yellowstone.

The choice of an airport usually depends upon your budget first of all, how much driving you feel like doing after you land, where you plan on staying,and the areas that you want to spend the bulk of your time in. Without knowing these things, it%26#39;s hard for anyone to recommend the ';best'; airport. If you can fill us in a little bit on your ';wish list'; or proposed itinerary we can probably help you better.

We have flown into both Denver and Salt Lake City in the summer. I like SLC better and it is closer. We will fly into Jackson Hole this winter for our snowcoach trip.

The closest airport to the park is in West Yellowstone (2 miles from the western boundary) which operates seasonally. It will be open when you come. It would require a transfer in Denver or Salt Lake from Delta Airlines.

Thank you for all the input. After checking into SLC and rental car and gas costs, plus the extra time it would take to get to YNP, we decided to go into Jackson and stay a few days in GTNP, then go up to YNP for the rest of the 9 day trip. The last day will be driving directly back to Jackson, so not really a Yellowstone day. But I think this will give us the most time in the NPs which is our goal.

[Sorry for not responding earlier. I didn%26#39;t know about responding.]

Since your trip will include a stay in GTNP, Jackson is a great choice for airport. You will have to connect through either DEN or SLC depending on your choice of airline. Jackson(JAC) is a fun little airport located right at the base of The Tetons, about 8 miles(12-13K)north of the town, and weather permitting, you will have a spectacular view of the mountains as your flight lands.

If you have not already done so, I would strongly urge you to lock in your lodging reservations RIGHT AWAY! In-park facitities are somewhat limited, and they do fill up very quickly MONTHS in advance.

Have a very Merry Christmas, and enjoy your holiday next year!

Thank you. We are staying at Jackson Lake Lodge for the first three nights and Canyon Lodge for the remainder of the time. I keep telling my extended family to reserve, but... you can lead a horse to water... you know.

Just remember ..... Horses sleep in stables.......

Hello, we%26#39;re planning our trip for December 2009 and will be flying in to Jackson airport. We plan to stay at the Old Faithful Lodge after 1 night in Jackson (we%26#39;ll be coming from Mexico, life is rough). Can you recommend transport between Jackson and Old Faithful and back? Thank you!!
