i'm flying in to salt lake city, renting a tiny car, and driving up.
any suggestions about the route based on your experience?

I would suggest I-80 to Rock Springs, then up US 191 either all the way to
Jackson and up through Grand Teton, or get off 191 at Farson and up through
Lander and Dubois. Both routes will take you through some nice scenery, the
route through Dubois being prettier but also longer. The fastest and shortest
way is up I-15 to Idaho Falls and from there to West Yellowstone.

From where? It's probably 3 hours from Jackson going through the park(s).

I don't go that way, but I'd guess about 5 hours going up through Idaho, maybe
8+ taking the scenic route.

The scenic route would take 48 hours. :-)

(Assuming no driving at night.)

jeffie, if the above estimates are based on actual "choc speed", you can
figure it would take me or jim about half that time.

Why would you want to see how fast you could get by all that scenery?
