Category: This Week In Yellowstone

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. I also strongly encourage you to drink a ton of water and to take a trek up to Calcite Springs. 

This Week in Yellowstone, I take a look at the wolf hunt, share a new link for snowpack information in the park, remind everyone to wave at fellow park visitors, and even share a trail to wander. 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!  

This week, I take a look at the official start of winter tourism in the park, then dive into visitation statistics for November. I share the pathetic snowpack, spots to find absolute bliss, and even give an otter update. Oh, I also included a link to an amazing video of wolves hunting elk in Yellowstone. This is a good one.

This Week in Yellowstone, I take a look at the bison cull, celebrate the opening of interior roads to oversnow travel, take a gander at the sad snowpack, and take the road less traveled in the park. Plus, I share a stunning Mountain View perfect for winter days in the Northern Range. Snow is in the forecast, so bundle up and come wander around America’s first National Park for the last full week of fall. 

This Week in Yellowstone, we welcome back much needed snow, take a look at the huge jump in grizzly bear numbers, and hear about Yellowstone’s version of first tracks. I also share where you can see bighorn sheep fighting and mating. The snowpack is low, but wildlife watching is picking up. You know you want …

In this installment of my weekly series, we I look at the infrastructure bill, let you know what the National Park is doing about the roadside bear den near Roosevelt Junction, give some tips for what to expect when visiting this time of the year, and share a few of my favorite spots to wander right now. 

In this post, we will talk about the huge drop in October visitation, how to make the most of one road being open in the park, where to see battling bighorn sheep, and even discuss the myth that bears hibernate.

This Week in Yellowstone is one of change. After the weekend ends, we see the closure of interior park roads and a drastic drop-off for visitation. This will be your last chance until spring to drive to places like the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Old Faithful, Grand Prismatic and Yellowstone Lake. Even now, with …

Things have drastically slowed down around the park over the past few weeks. News is slow, visitation is low, and much needed snow keeps on falling in the higher elevations. This coming weekend will be the second to last weekend before interior roads close for the season, giving you just a few more days to …
