    Went to Yellowstone NP, Glacier NP and Grand Teton NP this fall. Amazing place to visit. This thread has a ton of great information.

    Thanks!

    Winter has gotten off to a slow start this year - not enough snow! I heard that one of the places that offers snowmobile tours of the park had to cancel a few dozen reservations last week because some of the roads in the park were still bare.

    Added a couple of new links to the first post here too. There's now an app that tells you the times for the geyser eruptions - cell service can be so so in the park but is available at most of the major junctions. It seems like the staff at the Old Faithful Visitor Center is in charge of updating the times so it only works when the center is open for business. And I found a new site that has a ton of info about hiking in the park. Enjoy!

    Well we got some snow on xmas eve and more predicted for tonight - tell them to cross their fingers! They are allowing the snowcoaches (passenger vans with snow tracks) in. Just not safe to run the snowmobiles on the dry pavement.

    Do I know my mooses or do I know my mooses? :cool:

    Glad to see they made it another year - and added a member to their little club there. My pics were only of 3 bulls.

    Looks like your friends had a good trip! Love the shot of the wolves with the really snowy trees in the background too.

    Had to take the new rig to the park :cool:

    Saw a lot but nothing really picture worthy. Lots of buffalo, elk and sheep out but there was no where to stop because of the snow. Didn't see the mooses at Pebble Creek either.

    Yup, Taco's gone. I wanted to go to the park this weekend anyways, just ended up in a different rig! I encountered just about every road condition imaginable (pretty typical around here) so it was a good chance to get comfortable with the rig and have some nice scenery too.
