We rented an all terrain vehicle and drove Wyoming and Montana and went through Yellowstone over the course of about a week. Yellowstone itself is a big figure 8, so seeing all of what's there is a bit of a trick if you have time constraints. I'd try to fit in Old Faithful and the Grand Prismatic Spring if you can. But mostly just soak up as much of the landscape as possible. There's this enormousness to a lot of it that you can't experience without being there. We had a lot of luck: saw some harder to spot animals on our very first day, and then came through on the drive out of the place late afternoon and saw the Teton Range (think that's what it's called) just as the sun was streaming its last through the clouds and making them glow.

We flew to Chicago from Denver, too. I don't know if you want to drive around in there quite so much. Very hectic pace and a lot of crazy drivers during our stay. It may have just been the person who was driving us though. Plus, the roads were really bad at the time considering it's a major city.
