How busy is RMNP? Some areas of Yellowstone were like a bad day at six flags (old faithful/yellowstone falls). Huge coach buses full of chinese tourist who were way overdressed for outdoor activities. It only got better as you traveled to more remote areas.

I read that the number one cause of death in Glacier was drownings and the number one cause in Yellowstone was traffic accidents.

Also how are the bears? There were a couple trails closed in Glacier due to grizzly activity.

I might do Utah/Colorado next summer.


RMNP is one of the busiest parks, regardless of the time of year, due to its proximity to Denver. Being the middle of Summer, I'd be willing to bet it's fucking packed.

Bears aren't too bad in Colorado. They are around, but they're just Black Bears (they may look brown, but they're still a Black Bear species). Black Bears are scared of humans and attacks are extremely rare...

Right, saw a half dozen or so black bears. Only one small grizzly, but in hindsight it could've been a black bear with lighter fur. It ran away pretty quick. Grizzly signs are plastered everywhere and they don't suggest hiking without bear spray.

Going away for 4 days. I'll be celebrating Canada's 150th year by camping, canoeing, climbing by the Bruce Peninsula.

I've seen a few, crazy.

In Jackson, on that mountain in the third and forth pic. Most of the snow was gone, so on the lower runs they converted the lifts to carry up mountain bikes. People would go up with their bikes and ride the trails down. Looked fun as hell. Maybe you have something similar over where you are.

Yep, it's called 'uplift' but because we don't have the mountains there's only one large enough to have a ski lift in Scotland. We put the bikes on a bike trailer that can take about 28 bikes at a time. Great fun it can be dangerous as my lower intestine found out in May.

On this note. Why don't they make it worth buying the annual pass for the national parks? I wish you could buy a lifetime pass. My wife and I are trying to hit all 59 and I'd gladly pay a good bit for a lifetime. At $20 a park I'm sure they could make it worth it...

*shurgs*

idk, we paid the $80 for the annual all park admission. Worked for Badlands, Rushmore, Devils Tower, Tetons, Yellowstone and Glacier. I think we got our monies worth. I agree though, a lifetime pass would be great.

Yeah, the annual is worth it when you do a big trip like you and you're hitting 5+ parks. But most of the time the only people that can do that are the retirees.

I think the 100 year anniversary for the U.S. parks was last year. They had some good deals, but I don't remember it being free all year. That's cool of Canada...
