Get up early. Watch the sunrise from wherever you happen to be.
You'll have it nearly to yourself.

Have a good time. Watch for bears. Don't feed the animals.
Were you looking for something more specific?

What about the fly's? Deer or Black, they are out in August in Canada, not
sure about Yellowstone, but it would not hurt to be prepared.

If the current trend continues, bring a coat and rain gear! If you haven't
been to YNP before, the park is bigger than you think it is and depending on
where you are in YNP the max speed limit is either 45 or 35. Throw in
people stopping in the middle of the road to look at wildlife and bison
walking on the roads and it takes a lot longer to get from one place to
another than you think it will.
Make sure you have a reservation for a place to stay.
Everyone worries about the bears, but the bison injure more people than
bears. Don't get close to the bison! By the way, bison can out run a
horse. Remember the wildlife are wildlife not domestic animals, don't get
closer than 100 yards to bears and wolves or 25 yards for other wildlife.
If the bears look like these, you are too close! ;-)

How do you check for burning bans in different areas. I don't want to
show up there and not be able to build a fire without a campstove.

"Fires are permitted only in designated campgrounds, in picnic area with
fire grates, and in some backcountry campsites."
Any burn bans will be temporary (until it rains, etc) and will be posted or
there will be handouts at the entrances. It has been a wet summer so far
and I am not aware of any burn bans inside or outside of YNP.

Take the drive over the beartooth parkway from the NE corner of Yellowstone
to Redlodge Montana this to me is a prettier drive than going to the sun or
The drive across Rocky MT NP When you get to Red Lodge there is a railroad
diner that has great frybread tacos. Dont pull ur camper over this just
make a day drive of it. You can come back 1/2 way then take the Chief
Joseph Pky to Cody.

I did do that - it is pretty! There is a fair amount of road
construction on it right now because of the cave in year before last, so
it was slow going at times. I will do up a blog later on my trip - it
was great fun!

The landslide was on the north side of the pass in MT. All the construction
on the pass itself is on the south side in WY unless they have started
something in the last few weeks. There is construction from YNP's northeast
entrance to Cooke City in MT.
