I live in Jackson, Wyoming. I can assure you that any hostility towards Yellowstone tourons in Jackson, Teton county Wyoming and Teton county Idaho is very well deserved. Maybe not you in particular, but there are plenty of people that come this way and forget to pack their common sense and manners. So, good people get the rough treatment thanks to jerks with no care for the wilderness they are there to admire.
The tourist season for Yellowstone is very, very short, and the rest of the year it is absolute paradise. All that said, most locals are really friendly. If they seem prickly, it is because they are stressed. Imagine if your town's population went from 12,000 to about three million visitors in three months. Smile, be friendly and they might warm up.
PS: If you meant the West Gate entrance in Montana then take what I just said above and multiply it. That place is fucking insane during peak.
Westgate people were friendly, this took place in 2023 coming towards Yellowstone Eastgate.
Try the south entrance next time. You get four parks within a short distance. More spread out, less tourist traps and friendly locals.
Been that way as well, and agree pretty good. Can't wait to go back.
