I saw you mention in a comment somewhere that you were headed there or had been there recently. looking forward to reading about and seeing your experience! And I'm glad to have another data point in my 6C3 cold sink microclimate theory.

Yep, Turpin may be a one-and-done for me after this experience. I had seen others on here saying it was bad, but I underestimated how bad!

It was great. And that's actually water vapor in the air! The place was completely soaked from the heavy rain the night before, and it was starting to evaporate at that point with the sun.

Thanks! We had no bugs to contend with. They're usually pretty much gone by that time of year. We used the park's bear hang poles for the two nights in the park, we hung our stuff from trees the third night, and we used the outfitter bear box the fourth night.

September 3-7, 2026 I usually put off writing these until winter, but I wanted to do this one while it was still somewhat fresh. Also it's pretty wintry outside here now anyway. Instead of our usual type of trip to the SW part of Yellowstone, we opted to do something different this year, a...

Beautiful! Haven't seen much from that area in a while on here. Also, I 100% count an overnighter as backpacking, and this definitely could have been in that sub forum. Tons of overnight reports in there, including several of mine

Incredible!! Nice timing. Such a unique thing to be able to photograph too. Really enjoyed these.

Very nice! I've never walked that trail, but it was a favorite backpacking destination for my grandpa, decades ago. Way to get out there despite the snow.

Hello there. Just responding to let you know Greg (gnwatts) passed away last year. I imagine someone else on here has some knowledge about that area though and may chime in.

Welcome! Glad to have ya!

Camped among some larches over the weekend. No edits to the photo; it was the most golden sunrise I've ever had in the backcountry!

Great report! Cool to see and read about all the wildlife you saw. I'd have been nervous with a bison walking around camp too.

Someone posted this one (below) a couple weeks ago! They talk about a flash flood earlier than 9/7. I haven't followed the weather down there super closely, but it seems there could have been multiple big precip events...

That's an impressive patch of Calypso orchids! Great photos.

Going to add these to my list! Thank you! I'm currently reading and enjoying The Overstory, which is fictional. Starts as a bunch of vignettes that are all tied together by their relations to trees and nature, and they slowly come together. Another Pulitzer winner. It's been really great so...

Yeah my photo was 2019. I noticed the lower water level in more recent satellite imagery and didn't realize the dam was breached! All yours if you wanna take it!

Cane Wash?

Fanrastic looking trip! I just got back from a trip covering some of the same ground. That is an impressive route you did.

Fantastic looking trip! And you hit all the requisite stops on both ends as well. I really enjoyed those shots of the swans.
