This podcast covers what I have found after going into Yellowstone a few times after the park re-opened after the historic floods this spring. We also cover how West Yellowstone, the busiest entry town by far for Yellowstone Park is down nearly 40% from previous years and why you should take advantage of this and come on with it!! We then cover when the North Loop opened up and as usual,  how to beat the crowds at the main stops and see the best Yellowstone has to offer without another tourist in sight. Including where you can swim in the park even though all the main park swimming areas are either closed or damaged beyond repair.  We also cover a new momma grizzly bear and her tiny, tiny cub and where the best spot is to see her.  We even cover the opening of a brand new restaurant in West called Jakes Chop Shop where you can get some of the best locally sourced steaks found anywhere in Montana.  But its a great time to visit Yellowstone as visitation is WAY DOWN and how you should take advantage of that.  means and we cover all that in this podcast.
