Five environmental groups are voicing concern about a soon-to-be-implemented National Park Service policy that would enable parks to share profits from research within their boundaries. The plan would be impractical and expensive, the groups said Wednesday, while compromising resource protection and ethical principles.

In some years he says the park has to open using a combination of wheeled vehicles and tracked vehicles such as snowmobiles. Snowmobile traffic at the park this winter and next will be limited to 318 machines... Read Full Story

Some 125 volunteers spent 24 hours in Yellowstone in August as part of a mad dash to document as many species over the course of a day. It was sponsored by the Greater... Read Full Story

Our list of top 10 things to do in Yellowstone with kids takes into account all of the above plus one. Kids don’t like to any one thing for great lengths of time. With that in mind we’ve mixed the activities so that you can work your way from one to ten without once hearing, ‘Mom, I’m bored!’

But with almost 3500 square miles of lakes, geysers, canyons, and hot springs, there’s too much to see in one short stay. So, after three visits to Yellowstone, and consultation with my own children, I have... Read Full Story
