best tent camping in yellowstone image
kort
I will be traveling from Saskatoon sk to Wyoming by car. Is there anything fun to do
or see on the drive? What kinds of things are at Yellowstone! I will be traveling with four People ages 21-29.
Answer
Yellowstone has the best of several types of activities:
* wildlife viewing
* thermal feature viewing
* beautiful overlooks
* hiking
* camping
* backpacking
* boating, kayaking, canoeing
* horsesback
Only the first four can be done without advance planning. Do bring hiking footwear, portable water containers, a knapsack and other day hiking gear to provide more options.
To save on expenses, bring tents, sleeping bags, etc., so you don't have to pay for a motelâthose in and around the park begin at $80 per night and go up to over $300. Grab a tent site early in the day, at least before 13:00 on busy days or before 16:00 on light days.
Yellowstone backpacking is unlike anywhere else. Primitive back country campsites are by reservation only and are very generously spaced so you don't see anyone else. To get a backcountry permit, you have to sit with a park ranger for an hour for videos and advice about dealing with wildlife and then you are assessed whether you would be a bear snack or not.
On the way from Saskatoon, there is not much to see. I understand Grasslands National Park of Canada is worth a look. You will be going right passed it if you use the most direct route.

What is the best place to camp in Adirondacks NY?

Hi
What's the best place to camp in the adirondacks NY and close to the nyc? Camp site that has decent hiking trails, water fall, or maybe rafting and fun things to do.
Answer
Do you know that the Adirondacks is the largest National Park in the US, bigger than Yellowstone and Yosemite combined? There are hundreds of camping areas, dozens of lakes and waterways and thousands of miles of trails. There is no "best" place to camp, almost every area is great in some way. If you want to be as close to New York City as possible, and it sounds like you want outfitter provided experiences like rafting and car-camping tent sites, I suggest you look on line at commercial campgrounds around the Lake George and Glens Falls areas, less than an hour north of Albany. These sites will have photos and descriptions of the resources and scenery in those areas.

Because August is a peak month for camping in the 'Dacks, it would be best if you made sure you had a reservation at any campsite before heading up there -- don't count on being able to just drop in wherever you want this time of year.
