Amazing time hiking out to Mystic Falls last Saturday afternoon 10/24

Grateful to have seen, pronghorn, many bald eagles coyote, bison, elk, and we made it to the upper geyser basin (just wow) but we would love to have a place to set up for hours to see what’s going on, sooo sad Lamar is closed but I realize I’m here super late.

Last night we ventured to the west down Old Yellowstone Trail, and there’s also Old Yellowstone Trail South. Saw a beautiful herd of elk. Should we continue down for wildlife?

UPDATE: You guys are the BEST I saw another road closed with my eyes for construction, saw the construction icons on the NPS map and assumed it meant closed.

Thank youuuuu!!!! Can’t wait to go. 🥹💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

Hi! I love Yellowstone National Park (am maybe a bit obsessed) and have been getting back into reading nonfiction more recently and I wanted to drop in here and see if any fellow enthuisiasts have any book recs you've enjoyed. I've read Death In Yellowstone and various early expedition recountings (like The Discovery of Yellowstone Park and Lost in the Yellowstone). I'm a big geology nerd and geology student atm so books more focused on the geology would be cool but I think the entire GYE is pretty fascinating so I'm not limiting myself to that. So basically gimme any and all recs! (please)

Greetings! Yellowstone has a special place in our heart. We visited in December almost 10years ago and loved how things were empty and snowed in. We rented a 4x4 truck and drove through Bozeman and whatever was open.
This year we were hoping to do the same. We have been here atleast 3 times since so we aren’t desperate to hit every touristy spot.

Main goal is to relax, small hikes, wildlife photography etc.

That being said if we were to visit for 4-5days mid November, what’s the recommended trip plan. Is Bozeman still good to stay and drive into the park everyday or is there anything inside or closer to the park that we should book?

As far as wildlife, what are the best places to spot them around this time?

We also plan to visit Tetons provided roads are open.

Any heads up on road closures or suggestions would be appreciated.

I recently acquired over 30 books from the library of Condon, a former Chief Naturalist with the park, some with incredible history behind them. Where can I find more information about him? There seems to be very little, other than photos he himself took. It's an incredible rabbit hole so far!
