I'm looking for some help to pick routes through YNP in my non-RV. I came across a recommended route from the American Yankee Association that looks reasonable. However, I was planning on flying the whole thing at 9500 to 10k to give plenty of terrain clearance and stay at/below 10k. I'm not terribly concerned about noise since we'll be cruising at 100kt, where the CT isn't exactly loud.
We're planning on coming down from BZN through West Yellowstone (might stop at WYS just for fun), through the southern part of the park, then exiting through the north at Gardner and back across the pass at Livingston to BZN.
Any comments / pointers for this route? We know density altitudes will be high (record heat this week in BZN) and plan to depart BZN about 6:30a to avoid super-high DA and mountain turbulence.
Thanks,
TODR
