From Lamar Valley I headed over to Mammoth and was lucky enough to see a black bear up in a meadow. Stopped at Undine Falls. Mammoth Hot Springs Not my favorite part of Yellowstone, but glad I saw it for myself. When I was headed back to the truck there was an elk cow resting […]
Lamar Valley deserves it’s own post. It was gorgeous and the wildlife was spectacular. I don’t know about anybody else, but when a bison gets up on the road, stops, and glares at my vehicle it makes me nervous. The bison look a little scruffy because they haven’t lost all of their winter coats. Valley […]
I was up at 5:00 AM (despite the campers who were making noise until midnight) and on the road by 6:00 to see things before the mobs hit. First stop was an overlook for a mountain sunrise. Crittenden Road up to Mt Washburn Tower Fall
When I was greeted by a “Parking Lot is Full” sign at Norris I decided to head across Norris Canyon Rd to the Canyon Campground and check in. I set up the tent in a fog of mosquitoes (thank god for Picaridin), got an early dinner, and headed back to Norris around 5:00. I loved […]
Continuing on to Biscuit Basin and Firehole Lake Drive. I had to pass on Grand Prismatic since there was a line to even enter the parking lot. I thought parking was limited last summer at Acadia — the parking at Yellowstone doesn’t come close to matching the crowds and they don’t have a bus system […]
Morning of Day 1 I crossed the continental divide 3 times before arriving at Old Faithful. I was lucky enough to arrive about 15 minutes before eruption. Walking through the Old Faithful area. Marmot along trail.
I spent June 25, 26, and 27, 2018 in Yellowstone National Park trying to see as much as I could in a short time. The excessive crowds didn’t help that endeavor a whole lot. There were places I couldn’t even get into the parking lot so I ended up going back late in the day. […]
First ride through GTNP Jenny Lake Jackson Lake Colter Bay Dam on Jackson Lake Visitor Center at GTNP Antelope Flats and Kelly Antelope Flats toward the Tetons. Driving toward Kelly Pictures taken on the way to Yellowstone From Moose visitor parking lot. Norther part of GTNP. The fog was so beautiful but I couldn’t find […]
Visited Teton Village and went up the tram to the top. No wildlife, but beautiful views. Teton Raptor Center Views from Teton Pass
Town Square Levee walk along the Snake River between Jackson and Wilson. See these in all the restrooms in town and the parks. Never seen them before…
