Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire On the road again.

The water-filled caldera of Yellowstone Lake, headwater of the Yellowstone River. Huge, and the shoreline has been shifting as the caldera moves beneath it. Gotta be a fascinating lake to study with all the hot springs it must cover. Apparently fishing is good for lake trout.



Campground at the Marina bay area, the French family were camped off to the right, the "hiker bikers" (no reservation needed, $10/night) were up on the hill.

The BEST way to see Yellowstone IMHO would be to leave your vehicle in the town of West Yellowstone and bicycle around between campgrounds, you could see the whole thing in a week and 100 miles, and encounter the animals without a vehicle to hide in. Stay as long as ya want, on a bike ya don't need reservations, $20 to get in and $10/night to camp, restaurants and grocery stores about every 15-20 miles. You could do it other entrances too, but not IIRC without a hellacious climb up and over into the caldera basin.




These things are thick as fleas around the camping areas. No wolves.



The bear box.... they are real proactive about running off bears that try to hang out around the camping areas, chasing them off at least sometimes on horseback I was told.
