Visiting Yellowstone National Park on your own is very easy, as long as you are well organized. Remember to book airfare, car rentals, accommodations and activities (when possible) well in advance: it will save you money and make your trip less stressful. It is better to plan a tour than to return to the same accommodation every night. From Europe, it will take you about ten hours and at least 600 € to get to an airport (Jackson Hole in particular), which will then allow you to enter Yellowstone.
There are many tour operators and agencies that offer tours of Yellowstone National Park and the Rocky Mountains, and there are many different options available: bus tours, independent self-guided tours, ranch stays, camping, sports trips, nature observation, and more. The possibilities are varied, but the budget will be substantial!
Within Yellowstone National Park, there are not many means of transportation and unless you travel in a group (i.e. by bus), you will need to rent a car and obtain an accurate map of the park. As big as Corsica, Yellowstone cannot be covered in a day and you will need to understand the estimated distances and travel times. In winter, snowmobile travel is possible.
