Three Yellowstone fires continue to grow in size during dry weather conditions, but services are not impacted, and no temporary road closures are imminent.

With the weather hot and dry in much of the West, three larger fires in Yellowstone National Park are active but not yet impacting visitors and services, though some thermal areas are closed.

The first step in Arctic grayling and native westslope cutthroat trout restoration in Yellowstone National Park’s Grayling Creek — removing non-native trout — begins this week.

The number of cars entering Yellowstone National Park in July 2013 was up over a year ago, but the National Park Service‘s new method of calculating Yellowstone visitation yielded a decrease in estimated arrivals.

With the fire danger in Yellowstone National Park being high these days, we expect to see a lot of stories this: NPS officials report a new incident, the Druid Fire, approximately two miles north of the Northeast Entrance Road on the northern aspect of Druid Peak overlooking the Lamar Valley.

The Snake Fire, caused by lightning earlier this week about three miles east of the Yellowstone National Park South Entrance, has failed to spread in the wake of wet weather, leading to the opening of several backcountry trails.

We’re officially in fire season in Yellowstone National Park, as the 190-acre Snake Fire is burning in heavy timber about three miles east of the South Entrance.

The enigmatic and unpredictable Steamboat Geyser erupted for the first time in eight years, giving a small group of random Yellowstone National Park visitors a very rare and special experience.

With its fairly regular eruption cycle and prominent ten-foot tall cone, Lone Star Geyser is one of the standout geysers in Yellowstone. How is it, then, that it hasn’t become a major attraction on par with Old Faithful? Part of the problem, perhaps, is that you can’t drive to it.

Cutting back access to popular areas and curtailing services are two items on a potential makeover of Yosemite National Park. Could the same happen in the Yellowstone of the future?
