No we didn't go to that center, spent most of our time around the geysers, the canyon, and by the Yellowstone river with the bisons.
We saw the meeses in the West Thumb Geyser Basin. You have to be on the look out near dawn and dusk by water to get a shot at seeing them.

Cycled through Yellowstone in 1980. One of the highlights of the Yellowstone leg was El Capi-- wait wrong park.
One of the highlights of Yellowstone was stopping at a moose viewing pull-over along with an enormous land ark camper and a pair of rad stoked Harleys. There we all were, the quintessential American portrait; a couple of old geezers on retirement seeing the USA, a couple of 20 y.o. hippies on their bicycles, and two 30 something y.o. denim clad road warriors. We all soak up the moosie view and then, almost as a group, we decide to hit the road. The Old geezers turn and walk over to the choppers and climb aboard and roar out of there, while the 30 year olds meekly climb into their land ark and pull out into the road. MY buddy and I just looked at each other and asked "Did that just happen?" You can't make shit like that up.

It's a clue, but obviously over your head.
Now your boy has cut the park service it will be worse, but you're allowed to carry a gun now.

I don't have much advice at the moment, just figure out how much hiking mileage you're willing to do and try to find trails that match up and lead somewhere. Get your hands on some trail maps. There should be lots of good guide books.
Don't tease the bears... and mind the heat.

My boy? If you are referring to the Orange Cheeto, you must be senile or delusional. Either way, lets not ruin another thread bringing that crap into it, mmmkay? Seriously - this is a major trip of a lifetime for me and I was looking for help, not partisan political potshots.

You picked the worst time to go to one of the major national parks, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, and Yosemite, are jammed in the summer. Clear?

Yup. I got it. I'm there with lots of other people. Thats a fixed issue as the dates aren't changing. Now that that's settled. Any must see/do things while we are there with everyone else?

It's been over 40 years since I have been there. Of course see the geysers and bubbling mud pits and the canyon. But those are obvious.
You like boats, right? You should rent an outboard and go fishing in the big lake. Maybe have to buy a 3 day license. |
