I've updated this report with its trip video. A good chance i'm going to get Mr. Mario on another trip this year.

Here is the trip video for this report @Keith wrote up last year.

Nice Dan! Where you thinking of heading?

There were 6 cans drawn on him. But I think it was @scatman starring him down that caused his retreat. :scatman:

Here is a great picture of @scatman from out tents a week ago. 1 of 11 grizzlies seen in the Yellowstone backcountry over an 8 day stretch.

Hike to Granite from Logan Pass, and then down to the Loop. You can use the shuttle the whole way. Take the shuttles up to Logan Pass. Then you can get picked up by the shuttle at the loop trailhead, and take the shuttle system all the way back to St Mary. Don't hike up the Loop, its let...

Everything out of Many Glacier Iceberg for sure, and Grinnell Glacier. Pretty much the intro to Glacier's hiking. Cracker Lake is a sweet one as well. Do a big day hike and do the Dawson - Pitamakin Loop out of Two Medicine. The hike up to Two Med Pass from there is fantastic as well...

Great write up! Well written too. Loved the photos. That shot of the mosquito is pretty awesome.

John I'll be back down to Jackson for a few days around July 16th. I don't have a phone anymore, but i'll get in touch with you. I still owe you a few beers from your help last summer.

Thanks John, I figured you knew that area. I've been looking at accessing the Lake Plateau via Slough Creek since that is cheaper for me than driving around to the north side. Looks like I can make a loop out of it, and spend quite a few days checking out most of those lakes. Any of those...

There isn't much snow left in the Tetons or Absaroka's below 10k. The beartooth plateau is below average as well. You could access most of it last week.. Its also been really freaking hot the last few weeks. Multiple hitches like that might take half a day or longer. Or maybe you'll get...

When do you hike out? I'd give you a ride but i'll be in the middle of a trip that date. The other 2 are right, you could get a shuttle with Teton Taxi probably for around 70 bucks. Or hitch. A lot of car traffic by Jenny Lake, someone will pick you up. But gettng a ride over to the village...

This is a 7 day backpack along the northern boundary of Yellowstone National Park. A large portion of the route is outside of the park, in Montana's Absaroka - Beartooth Wilderness. Joining me was @Bob . We start and end at Slough Creek. The route includes Slough, Buffalo, and Hellroaring...

Hey that @scatman fellow showed up! Last I saw him he was heading off trail to the Buffalo Meadows with his daughter. Still haven't heard if they made it.

I'm heading out now to one of my favorite spots in Yellowstone on the little firehole meadows, campsite OD2. Then tomorrow I'm hiking north towards the Sentineal Meadows, and hopefully running into that @scatman fellow. If he shows. :)

Hey thanks! If I had known that a few weeks ago I would have tried to set something up. And I definitely would have paid you or it. I've shuffled my plans, and there isn't any open spots to fit that trip in now unless I do it in October, which I might. But I may wait until next year. The...

The trip Bob and I just did up Slough creek and over to Hellroaring. No one could tell me about the river crossings, or snow up high. The guy who knows that area isn't working the backcountry office this year after being there for more than 20 years. I'll write up a trip report for that one...

Whoa, how did i almost forgot about this one of @Bob . Definitely a classic: And while where at it, how about some props for this guy. In his 6th decade, he is still out here doing big climbs, off trail routes, unafraid of bears and badgers, and just doing the deal. I'm proud to say I've...

Hey thanks. Are you in the Yellowstone area? I'm not doing that trip primarily because I can't afford paying anyone to help me right now. But its possible through the summer and fall I could use help with a future shuttle. If your in the area I'll keep that in mind and may send you a pm down...

I think I wrote a short version of that night in this thread: http://backcountrypost.com/threads/big-animal-attacks-first-hand-accounts.3670/#post-42758 I'm suppose to be writing up a more in depth account of that night with the possibility of it being published in an article about...
