No on camera traps. Too Big-Brother like.

I hate the traps also but I'm not sure how else you can slow people down without Rangers and radar guns. I will never understand the need for speed in a place like Yellowstone.

Then get rangers with radar guns.

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. In addition to raising fees how about some camera trap...

Re: Late May/early June trip

Thanks for the great report! Just curious about Two Ocean Lake Road. What manner of vehicles can drive on it? Thanks much. 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 n...

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 see...

Re: Late May/early June trip

Glad you had a good time! I envy you the badger! Really sucks about the road from Roosevelt to Tower being closed. Are they allowing people to hike up it or is it closed to all activity?

Wow, she's as pretty as ever. Surprised she didn't have her own cubs this year. Thanks for posting the images. She is one of the prettiest Yellowstone grizzlies.

Beaver babies

The beavers took advantage of the fact that Colter Bay Marina was closed and built a dam over two of the docks there. A couple of the babies came out one evening while I was there. (I had to wait 4 hours for it.) https://pbase.com/rikwriter/image/170780839.jpg https://pbase.com/rikwriter/image/17078...
