We are thinking of starting our trip on September 2, 2006, so it should be early enough as to avoid the snow at higher elevations.

You ought to be OK but up here the only thing you can say for sure about the weather is that you can't say anything for sure about it. I live about 300 mi from Ystone and often go down there in May or Sept to avoid the annual running of the winnebagos. Late May this year I was riding my motorcycle in a T shirt. Sept can be beautiful, cold and drizzly or slushy snow. Don't let that stop you but be prepared for all types of weather. The elk start gathering their harems in Sept and their bugling is awesome.
If you're that far from home you might also consider Glacier NP. Going to the Sun road is a must see and is usually open thru Sept plus Glacier is about 3000' lower than Ystoneand usually a bit warmer. You'll need to drop the TM to go over the pass as they don't allow trailers. My favorite area is Two Medicine near East Glacier. I have seen empty campsites on 4th of July weekend there.
