This sort of illustrates my point! You must not be very familiar with Yellowstone past the road system.

Except in the busiest parts of the park, you don’t have to stay on trail, and there are hundreds of square miles of roadless areas of the park. It is 3x the size of rhode island. There is no “tangle” of roads as there are only 5 roads that enter it. Like I said: once you are 1/2 a mile from the few roads in the park, you have it to yourself, and it is not a forgiving environment.

Yellowstone offers the full spectrum of experiences from stroller friendly boardwalks to multi day wilderness through hiking routes that never cross another trail, let alone come close to roads.
