I rode through the Park this weekend. Some of the roads opened earlier, the road from Tower to Canyon is still closed and the Beartooth is still closed. The road up through Teton Park and into the South entrance of YNP opened May 11, so I rode in to check it out. I got through late Friday afternoon, was very weird as practically no traffic at all. Spent the night at Old Faithful and by Saturday the park was filling up. A few pics of my trip:
Teton National Park
South Yellowstone
Lewis Lake (still frozen)
Yellowstone Lake (ice just starting to clear around the edges...)
The parking lot at Old Faithful. This is not "high season..."
That dark spot in the center of the picture is a huge male grizzly. Watched him digging up ground squirrels--he was only about 150 yards off the road (my camera doesn't zoom much). I saw 3 grizzly and one black bear this day...
People watching a pack of wolves harassing the buffalo herds in the Lamar Valley. A ranger let me watch through a spotting scope.
Had to sit and wait these guys out. Being on a bike these guys are pretty intimidating when they start walking right toward you.
