We’ve been here for the past few days and have been in NE/Pebble Creek area at sunrise and sunset but haven’t had any luck. Wondering if anyone’s seen any!

Hey I am trying to complete the Beth Dutton Energy phrase challenge. I have 5 of 10 phrases, I was wondering if anybody wants to share phrases!?

Spectrum I just went in my guide on my TV and at 10 PM tonight on CBS it is listing Yellowstone the new one Now I’m gonna try to find out if you’re gonna continue to carry it surely they will. Or unless it’s a tease to get you to buy Peacock

I will be visiting yellowstone during the christmas week for around 4 full days. Ive booked my accommodation in Cooke city, will be renting a car from bozeman and will try to rent some snow shoes and poles there. im from southeast asia, living in tropical climate but do have some experience day hiking in snow. My main interest is the wildlife, but how should i go ahead for my day-to-day? I dont plan to camp overnight, i wont be bringing a tent and i believe there is no place to car camp either? Just drive to lamar valley and spend my entire day there? I'd love to see some wolfs. Also, i will be travelling alone. Do i need a bearspray? Any suggestions are welcome! Happy winters!

Hi all! My friend and I are planning a short trip to Bozeman in February and are interested in doing a snowcoach tour of Yellowstone. We’ll have a rental car but I’d prefer to avoid driving there in case roads are dicey. Has anyone used a tour company that offers transport from Bozeman?

Hi all- quick question. Planning on going to Big Sky and making a pit stop to see Yellowstone for a few days during December. Does anyone have any insight about whether it would be better to stay at Old Faithful Snow Lodge or stay in West Yellowstone as a base to then explore Yellowstone? We would like to go snow mobiling in the park but that’s about all the parameters we have. For context, family of 5, adult kids.

If anyone has any suggestions or input please let us know. We’ve never been to Yellowstone before and are pretty new to travelling out west.

My wife and I took our honeymoon driving cross country through the national parks and officially found out we were pregnant while camping in Grant Village. It’s a core memory of ours laying in our tent after she came back from the bathroom with a positive test. I want to get her something specific to Grant Village for Christmas this year and am having trouble coming up with something. Does anyone know any merch available or paintings or have any ideas of what I could do to gift her this memory? I have some pictures of our campsite and such but nothing that really jumps out as “frame-worthy” any ideas would be great help. Thank you!

Went up Pebble Creek beyond the campground yesterday to check how iced over it was. It’s dicey to reach the builder across from the cave and not wise to try to go beyond this point right now. Definitely not cold enough to have solid ice and won’t be for a few more days/weeks.

We are headed to YNP/GTNP next summer for a week. One of our favorite things to do when visiting national parks is boil up some water and enjoy a freeze dried dinner at a pull off location within the park. We will be staying at canyon campground.

Looking for your recommendations of best pull off locations with a great view within about 45 minutes of canyon campground. Thanks!!

Hi everyone! I wanted to plan a surprise trip for my husband during labor day 2025. Saw that the cheapest and best option is to camp in the park to be closer and earlier to the main attractions and avoid large crowds. The problem is that collectively my husband and I have 0 experience camping or staying at places where it is actually dangerous because of wildlife.

I'm wondering if even we would be able to stay in the park safely? Are there some camp sites more comfortable than others? How much of a worry it is food in the camp sites? Can we bring our dog with us? Should I not risk it and bite the bullet by staying in a lodge/hotel/cabin?

Any suggestions are welcome!

Trying to figure out how realistic this route might be? I have reservations in mid-July at Fishing Bridge RV Park and I also want to do the Old West Cookout with Horseback Ride. I'm a sucker for scenic drives so I'm really eager to incorporate Beartooth Highway into our trip. Here's what I'm thinking...

Leave Fishing Bridge, drive to Cody (and maybe squeeze in a timed grocery pickup reservation at Walmart), then drive to Red Lodge, then drive the Beartooth Highway on our way to Roosevelt Lodge to make it for 4:00 for the Cookout reservation. Ideally, I'd love to be rolling into Roosevelt at 3pm.

If that's my goal, what time would you suggest leaving Fishing Bridge RV Park? How much traffic would one reasonably expect on that route?

I'd either pack a picnic lunch that we could eat whenever or I could research some takeout or a quick meal at either Cody or Red Lodge. For Beartooth, I'd just want to be able to pull over at various scenic overlooks to take in the views and snap some pictures but I don't anticipate any super long stops.

The sooner we get to Roosevelt, the more likely we can just recline the seats and maybe even catch a nap in the shade or enjoy some more packed snacks. Thoughts?

There was more snow near Mammoth than Lamar today, in case anyone was curious.

I am planning a trip for next summer to Yellowstone (and Grand Teton) and want to do some back country camping (1-2 night backpacking trips), and I am wondering about wildlife encounter concerns. I'm planning to take bear spray, use bear canisters for the fod and have bells on our packs/sticks. Back east with just black and brown bears, I use a bag to hang food at a location away from the campsite, but the concern here isn't generally lethal, just the nuisance. That seems somewhat different out in Yellowstone. I'm traveling with a tween.

We are well versed in keeping a safe distance and not pestering wildlife, but given the stories and pictures of idiots in cars getting too close and having issues...is this a bigger concern in the BC? Or is it actually somewhat less of an issue (as there are generally many fewer of the worst/most dangerous animal: people)?

We live in Bozeman. We'd like to do a day trip on November 9. What we can't tell for sure is if we can get to old faithful this time of year. Are we stuck with the north loop?

Just wanted to share my experience of being in the park the weekend they shut down most of the park but the north highway from mammoth to Cooke. We got lucky and had minimal snow and clear weather. The park is very freed up, minimal visitors especially in the morning. Gives you great opportunities for peaceful wildlife viewing. You still get Lamar Valley and mammoth springs. If you’re willing to take the gamble, when it hits it pays. Just hope for okayish weather. It was my first time in the park and not the last.

Hi! My family and I are visiting Yellowstone/Wyoming for the first time in May. I already found some good recommendations and resources, but any places we definitely have to hit? Either in the park or outside of it. We love food, outdoors, animals, shopping, fun activities, etc!

We got to explore Yellowstone + Grand Teton last week and it was an amazing trip. This is one of my favorite shots from our adventures.

Hey y’all! Super excited for my work trip in Wyoming/Montana next week, there’s only one little problem….

I just learned my proposed route from cody to Island Park through YNP is closed, and the only way to get there is supposedly taking the long way around back through red lodge/Bozeman.

Is there ANY way to shorten this trip? Some said to go through Cooke city but that looks closed? I’m renting a dodge ram in anticipation of any snow.

Welcoming all advice for routes and also driving in the snow :-)

Thanks friends!
