This podcast covers the 21 mile section of road on the west side of the upper loop in Yellowstone park from Norris Geyser Basin to Mammoth Hot Springs.  Included in this podcast is a quick summation of why you shouldn't stop at Norris Geyser Basin, plus some fun and rather interesting stops along the road towards Bunsen Peak. We also cover the start of Bear Country in Yellowstone and where you should start looking for them.  Then I give you the details on a great mountain bike, then hike to Osprey Falls which is a great backcountry waterfall which is the cover shot of this podcast. As well as the best places to see the terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs as well as a really funny story about a ranger and his girlfriend.  For a little icing on the cake, I tell you where you can sit on a 36 million year old petrified tree stump and possibly the funniest story of them all.
