Quote HistoryQuoted: That sucks for the people that have been planning their trip for a while. It is what it is. I remember standing on the catwalk by the Upper Falls after some heavy rain. That was really cool. My sister and her fam were going in today for a four day stay… turned around at the gate. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You could just stick to the southern loop of Yellowstone (it should be open no problem by then) and Grand Teton. Our plan was to come in on the east and head west, we have a campground booked at Rainbow Point. Then head up to Belgrade for half a day then back down via North Entrance, which is fucked, and back out the east to Clearwater Campground. Then back in through the East Entrance working our way down to Grand Tetons. How fucked are we? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I thought there was a 200 yr drought out west RN? The West is big. We have decent snowpack here in The Bighorns, the southern part of the state is dry as balls… the further you go south the dryer it is. It’s pretty damn bad in places. |

I didn't hear exactly the location, but the radio this morning was saying there were long waits getting into Oregon from Washington because that particular bridge was constantly raised for shipping... apparently the Columbia is up 15 feet..
I know a week ago they were saying we've had more rain here than a usual entire month of June. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I thought there was a 200 yr drought out west RN? Most of the west is still in a drought. WA is the only one that's nearly pulled out of it. The rain has been crazy this spring, so far we're at 3.4x the normal June rainfall. Last June we hit 116º. I'm hoping the wildfires here at least are attenuated this year. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I thought there was a 200 yr drought out west RN? 2nd week of June, generally a killing freeze, but only down to 38* tonite. We had 3 days of rain probably at least 2.5" which is a lot of water here. Snow in the highlands. Clouds are mostly gone and now WIND, strong winds. Forecasting 90* by Friday. Very hot to freezing at night. Wont have to cover the garden, considering it very good. Let it pour. Next up 1st week in July... Winter storm warnings with snow. |

But hey, the offensive mountain got renamed, so at least the important stuff is covered  https://www.foxnews.com/us/yellowstone-peak-renamed-old-name-offensive-park-service The National Park Service announced last week that Yellowstone National Park's Mount Doane would be renamed First Peoples Mountain. The agency said Thursday the change was taken to remove an "offensive name" from America's first national park. The U.S. Board on Geographic Names voted unanimously, 15-0, affirming the decision. |

We were supposed to go 10 July for a trip that has been rescheduled 3 times due to shutting down the Inn during Covid. We went in 2020, but bucket list was to stay in the Inn. Not that year, moved to 2021, closed, moved to 2022. We;ve got rafting in Gardiner (crazy looking at that video!) horseback in roosevelt Stay in the Inn. Lets see what shakes out |

You also most likely won't be doing anything at Roosevelt. By July 10th, the southern loop may be open, but the northern loop (Tower, Roosevelt and the Lamar, and likely Mammoth) won't be open for anywhere from weeks to months. |
