Lower Falls - 308 ft. This view never gets old. #Yellowstone #Waterfalls #Landscapes #Rivers #NationalParks #Rainbow

Yellowstone Wildflowers With all of the wildfires and smoke in the air sometimes you just have to change your perspective. The Indian Paintbrush was on full display a few days ago along the western edge of the park. #Yellowstone #Hiking #Backpacking #Wilderness #Wildflowers #Sky #NationalParks

Heart Lake - SE Yellowstone Sometimes you just need a little elbow room. The Heart Lake region along with the Snake River drainage has some pristine fly fishing and sees very little pressure. It's a place all your own. #Yellowstone #Backpacking #FlyFishing #Wilderness #Lakes #NationalParks

Chief Joseph Highway (CJH) - The big reveal Pilot Peak (left), also known as the "mini-Matterhorn" and Index Peak rise to over 11,000 ft. and can be found just east of Cooke City. It's an easy drive from the NE Entrance of Yellowstone along the CJH. #Wyoming #ScenicHighways #RoadTrips #Mountains

Electric Peak from the Fawn Pass Trail - East Side This is the best time for wildflowers and the park never disappoints. #Wildflowers #Yellowstone #NationalParks #Mountains #Hiking #Travel #Landscapes #Wilderness

Upper Slough Creek - YNP We couldn't figure out why this bull moose was in such a hurry. It felt like he knew we were on his turf and came by to check things out. #Yellowstone #Wildlife #Moose #Wilderness #Camping #Backpacking #SloughCreek

The Osprey Falls Trail, located near Bunsen Peak south of Mammoth will be temporarily closed for trail repairs from July 28th - Aug. 4th, 2026. The "Old Bunsen Peak Road" (Points A to B) will remain open. Only the spur trail descending to Osprey Falls will be closed during this timeframe.

Chief Joseph HWY A quiet stretch of road between the NE Entrance of Yellowstone and Cody, WY. #Wyoming #Roads #Travel #Summer #RoadTrips #ChiefJosephHighway

Upper Slough Creek A great backcountry campsite about 2 miles from the park’s northern boundary. Pack the fly rod and enjoy the quieter sections of this beautiful river.

It’s been a crazy summer for wildlife in Yellowstone. We ran into this cinnamon black bear just as we started up Blacktail Plateau Drive yesterday. This is a one-way road east of Mammoth and it’s a great early morning drive. #BlackBear #Yellowstone #Wildlife #NationalParks

A rare moment. Was the moose having a bear encounter or was it the other way around? #Moose #BlackBear #Yellowstone #NationalParks #Wildlife

Lamar Valley - NE Yellowstone It's fascinating to watch animals from a distance while they go about their daily routine. #wildlife #yellowstonenationalpark #grizzlybears #bears #wilderness #lamarvalley #nationalparks #nature

Bison FOMO Despite their size bison are strong swimmers, incredibly agile (run 30 mph) and can jump as high as 5 ft. #YellowstoneNationalPark #Wildlife #Bison #YellowstoneRiver #HaydenValley #Rivers #NationalParks

A True Omnivore Grizzlies are known to eat more than 266 species of plants, insects, fish and mammals. The tiny army cutworm moth, which bears find on high elevation talus slopes, provides the highest number of calories—although not all bears utilize this food source. #GrizzlyBears #Yellowstone

Black Canyon - Knowles Falls The Yellowstone River Trail runs along the northern edge of the park, following this iconic river for about 20 miles. It’s a beautiful 3-4 day early spring outing.

Osprey Falls Dropping into Sheepeater Canyon—the second deepest in Yellowstone—takes you to the base of this beautiful 150' waterfall. This is a popular day hike that starts at the Bunsen Peak TH just south of Mammoth. #YellowstoneNationalPark #Waterfalls #Rivers #Wilderness #GardnerRiver

I think we set a record last Saturday with a total of eight bear sightings-both black and grizzly-in a single day. These two grizzlies were the first along the road from Norris to Mammoth. #YellowstoneNationaPark #GrizzlyBear #Bears #NationalParks #Wildlife

NE Entrance Road - Yellowstone There's something about an empty road disappearing along the horizon that just begs you to keep going. #YellowstoneNationalPark #ScenicRoads #NationalParks #Mountains

Getting rid of that itchy winter coat! Wallowing is a common practice. Depending on the time of year it can serve different functions... remove fur and insects, or just provide a cool place to rest during the summer. #YellowstoneNationalPark #Bison #Wildlife #NationalParks #Spring #Yellowstone

Always an impressive sight. When Lewis & Clark crossed this country they estimated there were 30-60 million bison on the plains. Through market hunting there were only two dozen remaining in Yellowstone by 1902. Today we have around 4,900 in the park. #YellowstoneNationalPark #Wildlife #Bison

Hats Off to the Park Service This photo represents a small portion of the headwear recovered from the thermal areas by the park service during the summer. Anyone recognize your own hat? 😀 Keep those lids secured. lol. Photo credit in the alt text. #YellowstoneNationalPark #Yellowstone

Specimen Ridge Trail - NE YNP Still a little gray up there on Monday but beautiful nonetheless. Plenty of petrified wood fragments and 50 Mya petrified tree trunks uncovered by erosion. The park is always full of surprises. #YellowstoneNationalPark #Hiking #Wilderness #NationalParks #Landscapes

Electric Peak We're expecting another snowstorm here in Montana so this photo seems fitting. Electric is the highest mountain in the Gallatin Range at nearly 11,000 ft. This photo was taken a few years ago from the summit of Bunsen Peak. #YellowstoneNationalPark #NationalParks #Mountains #Hiking

Our new summer baseball hats arrived today from Leathering.co. They look so good. Super excited for these! Link in the alt text.

Agate Creek Trail - NE YNP After the recent storm the higher elevations are still snowed covered but there are some beautiful hikes along the Northern Range that are very accessible. Agate Creek can be reached from the Specimen Ridge Trail just east of Tower Jct. #YellowstoneNationalPark #Hiking

A classic from 1984

Additional roads will open today in Yellowstone but with a slight delay. Noon rather than 8am. Travel is now available between Mammoth/Norris/Canyon. The West Entrance is now open to Old Faithful. Vehicles will have access to Norris, Madison, Canyon and Old Faithful. #YellowstoneNationalPark
