I'm sure it's worth seeing in the winter, mind you. I've been to Yosemite in the winter and it's pretty neat, especially in contrast to the summer. But it's so much more accessible after the snow melts, and I'd have to think it's the same at Yellowstone.

Up until the 90's Yellowstone wasn't even open to the public outside of the summer months without requesting permission (though it wasn't hard to get) because there was a skeleton crew of rangers and other staff and there was no in-park lodging open. Why? Because it's so bloody cold!
