There are two main routes from Bozeman to Yellowstone... the north entrance at Gardiner, through Livingston, and the west entrance at West Yellowstone through the Gallatin river canyon.

about 80 miles from Bozeman to Gardiner (Interstate highway to Livingston, then two lane road)
about 89 miles from Bozeman to West Yellowstone (slow, winding but scenic two lane road)

From Bozeman to Jackson Lake Lodge in the middle of the Tetons is 4 and a half hours by one route and 5 and a half hours by another route.
