This Week in Yellowstone, I look at the number of backcountry campers over the last decade, share where to find the artistic wonder of hoarfrost, give an update on the wolf hunt, and try to convince you to walk down the road to the Slough Creek Campground on a winter day. The snowpack isn’t great, …

This week in Yellowstone, I share the updated wolf hunt numbers from Montana, share about a wolf kill of an elk on the road in front of visitors, share about an injured boreal owl, and then tell you to go chasing frozen waterfalls. If you are headed to the park this coming week, enjoy the sun and temper those wildlife watching expectations. 

This week in Yellowstone, I share the news about Yellowstone National Park’s 150th Anniversary plans, celebrate the release of bison out of the park, rejoice in the return of the moose, and share some can’t miss spots to hike and have a picnic.

This week, I take a look at the struggles of driving in the park during the winter, share a story about arsenic levels in the waters of Yellowstone, celebrate a nearly healthy snowpack and tell you where to see wildlife on your upcoming trip.

If you are headed to the park this week expect snow and frigid temperatures, and be sure to check out the awesome trail I recommend that reaches a frozen lake and waterfall. I think this is yet another good one!
