Yellowstone Weekend





John and I decided to make a quick weekend camping trip to Yellowstone last week. We loaded up our little camper and headed to Mammoth CG, hoping there would be a campsite available. Well, we found all the campgrounds in the park full, so we backtracked to Gardiner, where we ended up at a Good Sams RV park. Not exactly what we had in mind, but it was better than nothing. We spent two full days in the park, fishing, hiking and wildlife watching. I caught a nice cutthroat trout at Slough Creek on a dry fly. We also hiked the Hellroaring Creek trail, which featured a big suspension bridge over the Yellowstone River. Along the trail, we also came upon a bull bison, who decided to lay down near where we needed to go. After watching him a while, we decided he wasn't a threat and continued around him.
