Flying over Yellowstone and then east

I am planning a trip for later this week to fly into Jackson Hole and then over Yellowstone the next morning and to the east. Thinking of flying east through Sylvan Pass.

Anyone have experience with flying out through this pass or generally over Yellowstone which they would like to share?

Thanks.

There’s a nice path from Cody into the Park allowing a full circle around and exit to the south, but the corridor was blocked by several Fire
That is exactly the path I was thinking of, but in the reverse.
 
Well, so I ended up leaving Jackson Hole on a day with fairly low ceilings but the forecast said should be ok exiting to north toward Bozeman. Once up over Yellowstone itself, clouds quite low to the north and west so a return to Jackson Hole or exit over the lake and Sylvan Pass, where the weather was clearer, were the only options. Made it out through the pass to discover a low cloud layer below me between Cody and Billings. Headed SE to Worland for a fuel stop.
