We'd appreciate any tips/websites or any other guidance for a trip we're taking to Yellowstone National Park from April 18 - 26.
We're concerned about the weather and opportunities to see wildlife among other things. We'll be staying at a resort in Island Park, Idaho.

It all depends on the weather. That early in the year many of the roads will still be snowed in. Check out what roads are open and then visit early morning or late evening to get the best chance of seeing significant wildlife. I would not count on being able to drive to many of the top visitor locations because of closed roads.
