Yellowstone presents some unique weather challenges as natives of the area, like Jim Godward, will attest.
While you won't need snowshoes in the summer, you won't be up on Beartooth Pass in flip flops, either. There are some elevations in the park and it's just smart to bring the kind of clothing that lends itself to layering and rapid changes in the weather in the park.
There are no shortages of YNP sweatshirts in the gift shops!

p.s. this picture was on May 19, 2011 right after they opened one of the north loops in the park.
