TWO OCEAN Wednesday morning was a little warmer, but I still had breakfast up on the hill in the light of the rising sun. We packed up afterwards and hiked back down past North Fork Falls. From there we backtracked another 3 ½ miles to the junction with the North Buffalo Two Ocean Trail /...

@TractorDoc has already written up the definitive trip report for this trip, though for some reason he broke it up into two parts. :) Tractordoc's Report Part I and Tractordoc's Report Part II If you want the truth and nothing but the truth, please take the time to read his writeups, they...

September 30 - October 4, 2022 Continuing our tradition of the last two years, we went to the Bechler area of Yellowstone again this past fall. This year was wetter and cooler than the previous year. Day 1 I was able to do the full shuttle route this time, as opposed to last year, so I met...

Hello everyone! This was originally going to be a 7-8 day backpacking trip that was cut down to 4 days because of the fear of the trip being smoked out as the smell was strong in the air and it was very prevalent off to the Northwest / west... ...Also partially because I was having a hard...

Spent September in the Wind Rivers: 10 days with girlfriend, 10 with nephew and last 10 solo. About 100 miles with 3 backpacks and a few day hikes. Rough start. Girlfriend's flight to Jackson was delayed 12 hours. I'd flown to Salt Lake the day before. Picked her up at 10:30pm, got into Lander...

Not long after @scatman and I left Yellowstone in September of 2021 we began planning a trip for September 2022. He must have been desperate for company to let me follow him thru the wilderness again. . . I tend to pull him off course when we travel off-trail, but I like to think my charming...

September 3-5, 2022 Jessica drew a great spot in the new lottery system for Yellowstone this past spring, so we decided to use that good fortune to go somewhere for Labor Day that would have been in fairly high demand. Jessica was interested in Heart Lake, and she and I had never been, so we...

I might have to say that this was the best backpacking trip as far as weather was concerned that I've been on. Temperatures were right around sixty degrees and sunny during the day, with night time lows right around twenty five. My trips to the Teton Wilderness over the Columbus Day Weekend...

@scatman posted his version of this Yellowstone day hike, now it is my turn. After tolerating me in Yellowstone last year he agreed to let me hang out with him for another week in 2022. What can I say, he is a sucker for punishment. :) This year I'd be bringing along a couple friends and...

Well, after dragging my brother up Yellowstone Point and beating him up a bit last year, I promised him a more laid back trip this year - but not too laid back, of course. I'd never done an extended trip in the southwest corner of Yellowstone. The Bechler region had always put me off a bit due...

The day after my Grizzly Lake Trip, I met up with @TractorDoc, @CajunPoncho and Cody to attempt a seventeen mile day hike through the Central Plateau of Yellowstone National Park. Also, @TheMountainRabbit decided that he hadn't had enough of me on the previous trip, so he threw his hat in on...

Wanted to post our trip report to the Bighorns from July 17-23, 2022. This is a great place to explore - accessible but little traveled past a couple popular trailheads, so it feels remote. Plenty of off-trail scrambling opportunities on various scenic peaks and beautiful high alpine lakes with...

Well, it was that time of the year again for my hike a short distance into the backcountry, set up basecamp, and do a couple of day hikes from there. Normally this trip is with some cohorts who have backpacked with me over the years at one time or another. This time however, I decided to open...

I recently did a hike with a group from Backcountry Post, and heard a couple of times that I should post more, that people like my little trip reports. (Thank you for your encouragement.) I live near Yellowstone and can drive in for a quick overnight, or a day trip. I don’t like day hikes a...

After the Wind River trip (https://backcountrypost.com/threads/wind-river-range-sept-2021-part-2.10362/) I headed north to Yellowstone to meet @scatman (Hugh) and @TractorDoc (Dave) for a couple days backpacking in Yellowstone. I had never met either one, but after my SEKI trip...

The trail in and a water crossing And the last water crossing @The Trout Whisperer tent on the right, mine on the left. We were tucked into the trees and that helped when the wind shifted and started coming from the north Most of the other’s tents Moon rise over the ridge Day hiking...

Day 1, 2 and 3. Years ago, I started hiking with a group out of Indiana, the Hoosier Bacckpackers. After moving to the Yellowstone area, I decided to offer to organize a hike in Yellowstone. That was the year of Covid. I tried again last year, but people still didn’t want to travel. So I...

A few months ago, Scatman organized a hike in Yellowstone, to Grizzly Lake. I put my name in the hat, and the next thing I knew, the hike was upon us. I had been to Grizzly Lake a couple of years ago, but at the other campsite (neither is especially close to Grizzly Lake, in case you were...

For the last few years, I’ve been trying to do the hike from Heart Lake Trailhead down to the South Entrance. I was going to do it with one person, and it got cancelled due to Covid. The next year, the person I was going to hike with couldn’t get the time off. I don’t remember what happened...

This report is a complement to @Bob's wonderful write-up Teton Wilderness - 50 Miles of High Country. Originally this was supposed to be a trip to the Beartooths, where we had hoped to complete a lollipop loop into the teeth of the Tooths so to speak. Unfortunately, mother nature had other...
