I received notice today that I got my reservations into the Bechler! I'm really excited. I start at Lone Star Trailhead, go to Firehole Springs (OA3) the first night, to Douglas Knob Meadow (9D3) the second, spend two nights at Albright Falls (9B9), then back to Douglas Knob Meadow, then Upper Firehole (may hike out) and then out.
I think that from Albright Falls, it's only about a mile and a half to Mr. Bubbles. Is that right? The map says "thermal area," I assume that's Mr. Bubbles.
I assume a number of you have been through this area... are there things I should look for, or plan on doing? I'd hate to get the permit, do the hike and then find that I'd missed something magnificent.
I also got the hiker site at the end of the Dogshead Trail, on Shoshone Lake. I think it's 8S1. I'm kind of excited. OK I'm a LOT excited.
