Jackson, just south of Yellowstone is a charming little town (or it was
when I visited). If you don't want to shoot what other tourists have done
stay away from the geyser fields. I also found that if one was willing to
hike a few hundred yards from the parking lot, most of the crowds had
thinned out, so a short hike should take you to a place where few men had
gone before.
When we were staying at Jenny Lake we went into Jackson to do laundry. I
was sitting on a bench outside the laundromat reading a book when the
absolutely most dangerous man I've ever not wanted to have anything to do
with pulled up beside me on the rattiest Harley in the world.
As he went past me, I noted that he had what appeared to be one of the
largest pistols I have ever seen in a holster on his left hip. I believe it
was a 44 Magnum, but I could be wrong. He was big and rough and tough and
looked ready to snap the neck of anyone who crossed him.
He went into the laundromat where his partner was doing their laundry. I
stayed outside, but my wife found the interaction between said biker and
his missus to be very amusing. She was a very tiny woman, about a third his
size. Apparently he was clueless about all things laundry and she was very
vocal regarding this fact. He took the whole thing in stride about the same
way a puppy who just shat on the floor would take the scolding he was being
given.

I wish I had been there to see it, but at the same time, probably best that
I wasn't.
