In-Depth Information
Internet Access
There is currently no public internet access in Yellowstone National Park. Most hotel
rooms inside the park don't even have a telephone connection. Dornan's, at Moose in
Grand Teton, has internet access at $5 per hour. An internet (
) and wi-fi (
) icon is
used in this topic wherever internet access and/or wi-fi is available.
Most hotels, libraries, visitor centers, bookstores, cafes and McDonald's in the neigh-
boring towns offer wi-fi internet access. Search

to find one near you.
Money
Yellowstone has 24-hour ATMs at almost all hotels and general stores.
In Grand Teton, look for 24-hour ATMs at Dornan's and Jackson Lake Lodge and other
ATMs at Colter Bay grocery store and Signal Mountain.
Accommodation tax ranges from 4% to 8% and varies from county to county, even in-
side the parks. Sales tax is 4% in Wyoming (plus up to 2% county tax). There is no
statewide sales tax in Montana, though a few places like Red Lodge, Big Sky and Cooke
City impose a local 'resort' tax.
Bear in mind that tipping (around 15%) is generally expected on horse-packing and
rafting trips and stays at dude ranches.
Post
The only year-round post office in Yellowstone is at Mammoth Hot Springs. Seasonal post
offices are at Canyon, Lake and Grant Villages, and Old Faithful.
In Grand Teton you'll find post offices at Colter Bay (summer only) and Kelly, Moose
and Moran Junctions.
