So far, the visitors to Yellowstone National Park have been more friendly, engaging, and patient than they have been in recent memory.

I know that may change soon, but so far, the park has been an amazingly welcome and positive place.

Can you find the lone bison and the three grizzly bears from this picture from Yellowstone National Park?

While it's tempting to say that he had it coming, this is something that almost never happens. Getting in your car to drive to work is more dangerous.

Hi, auroras.

Montana’s snowpack, as of last night.
On May 1st, the Upper Yellowstone region where I live was at 68%.
We definitely needed the last few days of snow.

I always love seeing these signs.
