Super User eyedabassman Posted June 27, 2009 Super User Posted June 27, 2009 We are going to Yellow Stone in two weeks, can anyone give us any things we should do and any thing we should not? Any must see things, any help would be great! We will also take a ride to see the Grand Teton's. Quote
avid Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Bring a fly rod. The fishing for cutthroat trout is fantastic. Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted June 27, 2009 Author Super User Posted June 27, 2009 I don't own a fly rod. And as much fishing and tournaments that i do, I think this is a non fishing trip,per the wife! :'( Quote
KevO Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 i would recommend you don't get eaten by a bear.... LOL! Otherwise have a great trip. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted June 28, 2009 Super User Posted June 28, 2009 Do not try to take a leak in Old Faithful. Quote
Branuss04 Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 I would definately go to Old Faithul. Not only is it just that one geyser, but there are another 2 or 3 really cool ones and about 2 miles of walkway that take you throw lots of pools, etc. Including the Glory Pool which is pretty cool. There is also alot to see around Yellowstone Lake Oh, and don't stop to see every single buffalo/Bison along the way when you first get there. You will see 1000's of them by trips end. I hated the people that would stop in the middle of the road just because there was 1 buffalo. Now if you see a bear, feel free to stop . When your driving, you'll know where the wildlife is because you will see 20+ cars stopped in the middle of the road taking pics. Enjoy your time there, I went about 5 years ago and really miss it. I've been fortunate enought to have visited 7 National Parks. I would say that Yosemite and Yellowstone would be in the top 3. Quote

Branuss04 Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Details are a little fuzzy as it's been 5 years or so. I actually kept a journal of the trip (We took two weeks, visited 8 states, and at least 4 National Parks). I'll go through the pics and Journal and see what other places we went to. I know some other cool places in yellowstone... but just can't remember the names. :-/ Are you tent camping, trailer, hotel? Quote
TrippyJai Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Don't leave your picnic baskets laying around, Yogi bear will be there! Quote

Super User eyedabassman Posted July 4, 2009 Author Super User Posted July 4, 2009 Anymore help or ideas? We are leaveing in two weeks and are trying to plan our trip? Quote
Triton21 Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 :-/ Are you tent camping, trailer, hotel? We will be tent camping! :-? I did the tent thing in Sept. 1990. Elk rutting and bugleing every night. ;D See Yellowstone River, Yellowstone Falls, and Yellowstone Lake. There were several other pull-off areas with great attractions. The Grand Tetons has camping also. Jackson Hole Has some nice attractions too. Kelley Quote

Tokyo Tony Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 I spent a winter in Jackson Hole and made it out to Yellowstone for a snowmobile trip. Obviously you can't do that right now, but you might want to check out the wildlife museum in Jackson Hole - it's pretty cool. Also, you can go to the mountain and take the tram up to the top - I believe it runs all summer. As long as it's not too cloudy, the view will be tremendous. I think the mountain (Jackson) is about two hours from the park. For the park itself, sounds like you have it pretty much covered as long as you see Old Faithful and follow the other gents' advice. Have fun and post pictures when you get back Quote
