Aug 1-4, 2007.

We are staying in Grizzly RV-Park in West Yellowstone, Montana just out the west gate of Yellowstone National Park. We stayed in a different site every night because we did not have reservations and at this time of year they are FULL. The only way we got to stay there for 4-nights was to move into cancellation sites. The rates range from around $37 to $47 depending on a variety of things but generally back in sites were cheaper than pull-thru sites. Then they charge $4 for wifi. I suppose the pull-thru sites are a bit larger so the BIG rigs would probably be forced into one of them. Grizzly is a nice park, the nicest campground in the area. Bottom line is if you are planning to visit WEST YELLOWSTONE during July thru Aug-15 you need a reservation as every campground in the area is FULL. After August 15 you can have your choice of campgrounds with no reservations.

Elk grazing along the Madison River

Along the Madison River near Madison Junction we seem to always find elk in the flats along the river.

Mother moose and calf

This moose mother and her calf were causing a "moose-jam" on the Grand Loop road just north of Canyon Junction

Mule deer

Occasionally we spot mule deer in Yellowstone. They are in the park we just don't seem to spot many of them. Notice that this one is out in the sagebrush instead of the lush grasses along the rivers, this is not what I would have suspected.

Mountain Goat

By chance we spotted this mountain goat on a cliff on the far side of a canyon. This goat was approximately a mile away across a deep canyon. The cliff this goat was on was all of 500' straight down and another 500' straight up. None of us could see how this goat got where he was.

This is another picture of that same goat.

The antlers look like a big horn sheep but some of the locals said it was a goat.
