Spent a few days in Jackson and then a few days in Yellowstone (9/19-9/25) and can't explain how incredible it was. The lighting and weather were perfect. I can't stop thinking about Lamar Valley. Will definitely be going back someday!

Beaver Ponds Loop was a gorgeous hike. Also, Lamar Valley almost had me in tears! I will be back. (Photos from end of Sept)

I didn't get a picture of them but I saw a group of bighorn sheep today, through binoculars, in blacktail area between mammoth and tower of all places. I went to Sylvan pass Saturday hoping to see them but did not. So go figure. Here are pictures I did get.

Hi! Opinions on this 3 day itinerary for August? Mainly want to try to be efficient and make sure we’re back to our hotels before dark (mainly concerned about making it to Old Faithful lodge from Yellowstone before dark). Anything you would add or move? I tried to create a flexible itinerary that didn’t plan too much for each day, since I’m sure we can easily fill any additional free time. TIA!!

Hi there, does anyone know when Madison Campground will be available to book for the 2027 season? I know it’s supposed to be on recreation.gov now but I’m not seeing the ability to book. Thanks in advance

Hi, the two of us are going to be spending 3 days in Grand Teton and 4 days in Yellowstone next week. I checked online for must see places but I’m worries if they are going to be accesible at this time of the year. So if anyone has been at the similar time of the year what are the must see places that we can safely get to? We will be staying in Victor ID and Gardiner MT. Thank you :)

BREAKING: A collared
wolf reportedly belonging to Yellowstone National Park's 8 Mile Pack has been k*lled in Montana, with disturbing photographs circulating online showing the animal's bloodied body displayed as a trophy.
The photographs, reportedly shared by Trophy Bucks and Bulls of Montana, were accompanied by the announcement: "WOLF DOWN!! CONGRATS."
Congratulations for WHAT? For killing an intelligent, sentient animal and proudly displaying its body for applause?
The photographs also raise concerns that the wolf may have been shot in the abdomen, potentially causing prolonged suffering.
Yellowstone's wolves are protected within national park boundaries, but those protections can disappear the moment they cross an invisible line into neighboring states.
Wolves' lives should not become trophies simply because they cross a boundary.

Took this last fall on Fairy Falls Trail. I have seen eastern grey squirrels that are all black, butnthis guy has a white belly. Any idea what kind of squirrel it is?

I have a second video but can only figure out how to put one. This is Lamar river trail before cache Creek.

I have hiked that area so many times, my favorite area of the park for real backcountry hiking.

Hey Everyone!

I did post this on the weekly planning thread but unsure if that gets many eyes. Please do delete this post mods if this isnt an appropriate place!

I'm planning a 12 night Tetons/Yellowstone/Montana trip for late June 2027, would love some honest critique! I did a decent amount of research, and worked out what I wanted to achieve before using AI (yes I know...) to help schedule/route. I've been wanting to visit for years.

There are two of us. I'm the only driver so I've tried to keep driving under 5 hrs a day, and we're happy with hikes of 2-4h but no 8h epics. We want wildlife, some rodeo/4th of July stuff/Americana... and a couple of lazy days. The dates are fixed and flying over from UK!

Below table is my current plan.

I suppose is this realistic or just a cluster of too much?

Things I'm not sure about....

- Is Thu 1 too much? It's the longest day and it's mostly stop/start

- Is two nights at Old Faithful about right? 4 nights total in the park.

- Is Beartooth worth 4ish hours round trip from Roosevelt

- Are we seeing enough of the Tetons?

- Big Sky in a day from Livingston, worth it or skip and stay in Paradise Valley

- Anything obvious we're missing?!

Thanks in advance, happy to be told what's gone wrong with my plan!

hey guys!! my boyfriend and i are going to yellowstone/grand tetons next week and are just worried about possibly driving around now that there’s some snowy weather. we’re from florida, so anytime we get anything remotely close to snow here, the roads are super dangerous because our state is not at all prepared for it ever lol. i just was wondering how safe it would be to visit the parks (just hitting the most popular spots, no off roading or crazy hikes lol) if it is snowing and we are in a rental car without 4wd. obviously wyoming is very well prepared for snow and ice so i’m sure it’s better than florida, just was hoping to hear from some people that had experienced it firsthand!
