It is a beautiful drive from Wapiti into YNP, and there is wildlife to be seen along the way on the East entrance to the park. I, however, would not stay near that entrance again. I have issues with steep mountain passes with shear dropoffs. I got used to it after a couple of times, but always dreaded driving back out of the park to the hotel because of the road. Driving into the park is easy, as you are driving on the mountain side. It's just driving out over Sylvan Pass that was unpleasant for me. If that doesn't bother you, then it's a great location. The hotel said 30 minutes to the gate, but I never made it in less than about 45 before dawn.
