I camped two nights outside Yellowstone in the Shoshone Nat Forest last month.
The first night was at The Pinnicles:
This is pretty much the view from my camp, except the lake still had ice on it
The second night was at Elk Fork:
This was easy to enjoy because we were not aware of the recent, relatively close, Grizzly Attack
Evert, a field botanist, was mauled by a grizzly bear in the Kitty Creek Drainage area of the Shoshone National Forest, just east of Yellowstone National Park. It was confirmed that the bear involved was trapped and tranquilized hours before, as part of a Grizzly Bear research team. The bear was later shot and killed from a helicopter by wildlife officials. It was initially reported that Evert ignored posted warnings to avoid the area due to the likelihood of a bear encounter.[1] However, the sheriff deputy that recovered the body and Evert's family stated that the warning signs were no longer present.[2]
I cannot believe they shot the bear for being bearish after awakening from being trapped tranquilized.
