This podcast starts at the rather boring Tower Junction which is home to the rather fun Chuckwagon Dinner that starts at the Roosevelt Stables.  We then drive through the Narrows on the way to Tower Falls and I tell you how to not only see the falls but about the crazy boulder that used to sit it's summit and then how to access the Yellowstone River from the viewing platform that hardly anyone knows about in the guidebook.  We then continue along the North Loop and summit Mount Washburn and I tell you where NOT to hike as well as where you SHOULD hike in this area on a great hike the a is one of the best for small kids.  And as usual, I throw in a couple of short stories about sleeping with an Elk and skateboarding down Dunraven Pass before I tell you where you can find the elusive Moose like they were let out of a pen in the evening.
