Wyoming is one of those places where the obvious plan and the good plan are two different trips.

We mapped a 3-day Wyoming route ourselves, built for a long weekend, not a rushed one, built to avoid the Old Faithful boardwalk crowd from day one.

This is the trip that makes the Old Faithful boardwalk crowd look like the warm-up act, not the main event. It's free. The only cost is planning your Wyoming trip without it.
