YNP-GTNP-Island Park area starting June 24!

Okay, I didn't want to post anything until I was sure of the trip, but I'm heading out this morning and it will take me a few days to get there. Last I checked, the weather forecast looked pretty good, so hopefully this will be a good time to head over there. My goal is wildlife photography and just...

Re: Mike Enzi op-ed on raising NP entrance fees

I also agree to raise the International tourist fees. When I visit the South African National Parks I pay 4.5 times the entry fee of a South African national and don't mind at all knowing I am helping these Parks survive for future generations.

Re: Late May/early June trip

I think nothing above two axles. Lol, thanks, but what I'm trying to get at is, do you need 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive? Can you do it with a front wheel drive CUV? It's not that rough unless it's been raining. I've seen people drive sedans up there all the time. Thanks, that's what I needed t...

Re: Mike Enzi op-ed on raising NP entrance fees

I agree with raising the fee for foreign visitors, and I'd particularly like to see a HUGE rate increase for bus tours. If tour buses are going to be allowed into the park, they need to have some big-ass fines leveed on them for stopping ANYWHERE except pullouts big enough to accept them. I have se...

Mike Enzi op-ed on raising NP entrance fees

Just saw this. He wants foreign visitor fees increased, and also suggests raising US citizen park user fees by $5. It has been pointed out that foreign visitors are comprising a greater and greater portion of park visitors, yet they do not pay US taxes, some of which go to support the parks, so it i...
