What an awesome summer of hiking! You took a lot of gorgeous photos. Thanks so much for taking the time to upload them on to here so...

Sad news. WEST GLACIER, Mont.

Cause of death is still under investigation. The park and Fuselier’s family would like to than...

Thanks Deb, From what I'm reading on various web sources, the tickets go really fast and people are booking reservations by getting everyone in their group to try to book tickets at the same time. Hence, there is over booking by some people who probably won't bother to cancel a $2 reservation. Paul...

There is an interesting thread on the Trip Advisor Glacier Park forum about getting vehicle reservation tickets for July.

I realize the fox and black wolf may be "lucky sightings," but I'm wondering how you're finding the bears. Through experience? Are you following newsgroups that say bear 399 is hanging out frequently at the corner of 5th and Vermouth, or maybe something else? I seem to keep finding buffal...

My grandson Braeden and I, did a 5 night camping trip to the Tetons. Well, actually it was a 6 night trip because we decided at the last minute to leave home after I got off work on the 20th. We parked our campervan in front of a friend's house in Gardiner that night. The next 3 nights we had reserv...

After decades of tent camping, I decided to buy a campervan in February. It is perfect for my grandson's and my traveling style and allows us to go on adventures whenever we want too. If I can’t get campground reservations in the park, we can just drive out of the park and stay in a forest service c...

I took my two grandsons (22 year-old Braeden and 10 year-old Brogan) to Grand Teton Park last weekend for a 4 day trip. We had a blast. Not only did we see absolutely gorgeous fall colors, we had 9 moose sightings and 10 grizzly bear sightings. Grizzly Bear 399 and her 4 cubs of the year (I have pic...

The new grizzly bear that came to the elk carcass on Thursday was a newly re-collard bear. He is officially grizzly bear #881 and was first collared in 9/2016. He lost that collar in 2017. The Yellowstone Grizzly Project's website says he was born in 2003, so he is 17 years old. He's not as large as...

Last Friday (9/18), a huge grizzly bear in Yellowstone Park killed a 6 point elk in the Yellowstone River at the north end of Hayden Valley. The elk had been injured in a prior fight with another bull elk and had injuries that included gore holes on his sides and a broken back leg. The grizzly bear ...

Deb, What great pictures and videos! I have been to Yellowstone at least a half dozen times and have NEVER seen bears. Can I take you or your grandson as a tour guide next time?! Thanks for sharing and it is great that you helped your grandson develop such love for the outdoors. Well, if you're eve...

My grandson and I have made quite a few trips to Yellowstone and Grand Teton parks so far this year. I thought that you might enjoy seeing some of the wildlife that he and I have seen. Braeden did a solo trip down to Grand Teton Park on May 18th to see the park's most famous grizzly bear 399 that ha...

My family and I have been staying a week at a Flathead Lake cabin north of Polson every summer for 5 years now. This year, my grandson Braeden and I decided to drive up to Logan Pass one night to take pics of the Milky Way. When we got to the top of the pass we realized that we had forgotten our bea...
