Thanks for the nice comment Nick. I went with my two sons and a nephew last year and we stayed in West Yellowstone. I got up early and drove into the park along the Madison River and got that shot and several wildlife shots, and made it back to the hotel in about an hour. They weren't ready yet when I got back. Yellowstone has so many "photo opportunities" as is so colorful, so unique, and so full of life. I ept the 55-300 on the camera when traveling, and would go wide at the thermal areas. You just have to be ready. At one stop we got a waterfall, canyon, ospreys, bighorn sheep, and a black bear. The one thing we did not see that we wanted to was a moose, that was our only disappointment. If you have the time and opportunity, hit the Buffalo Bill museum in Cody, that was pretty nice.

I was there last year in June, a bit different than July, but I kept a $4 pair sleeve with me all the time. You need the longest lens you have and the widest. If you have fast lenses that's bonus, because you will want to be out there until dark and at sunup, prime times for wildlife. The best shot I got was actually a landscape using my DA55-300. Clinton mentioned the fisheye at Grand Prismatic, it's huge and beautiful, there are also some hills to the south of it that you can climb up and get a great view, worth the climb.
