Some of these highways get super nasty starting around this time of year. Something to consider especially hauling a camper. High winds and blowing snow aren't uncommon in Montana in November.

Have you thought about dropping down into the Grand Teton, Jackson area? Might find a spot down there. I've enjoyed Grand Teton as much if not more than Yellowstone.
I think Yellowstone is cooler, mostly because of all the thermal features.

But Grand Teton is amazing. The scenery and hiking is second to none. Jackson is a cool town as well.

Just saw the announcement. East, south and west entrances to Yellowstone will be closed beginning Tuesday.

That’s in a good spot, the website doesn’t mention anything about seasonal closures, but I’ll give them a call whenever they open to double check. Thanks!
There are none, but it may be busy with guys hunting the migratory elk out of the park. We raft the upper Yellowstone every year, Carbella is a pretty sweet spot, especially with the upgrades. Just look upstream see where the old Tom Miner Bridge used to be

As someone above said, Grand Teton should be an option. It is pretty freaking awesome as well. And November will basically have 0 people there.

Made the trip in today, after coming from the idaho mountains, Yellowstone was kind of eh. Atleast the parts we saw. We found a campground south of Jackson and just woke up early and drove in. We came in from the south and made what I guess is the lower loop? Stopped at the canyon water fall and old faithful just to say we been. I think we probably missed out on some good stuff on the north end with all the road closures, but we did what we could. It was a lot more wooded then we expected. I assume further north it opened up some.

The Tetons were pretty cool, we were driving in just as the sun started to shine on them. Had a pretty nice bull moose on the side of the road hanging out and drawing a pretty big crowd on our way out near the sleeping Indian.

Had to slam on my breaks this morning to avoid some mountain goats licking salt off the road which was different.

Thanks for the help everyone.
