RE: How important is No Dogs vs. Dogs Allowed in Campground?
Tom N X2! We've experienced dogs left to bark alone and dog droppings in our site. We've also been approached aggressively by dogs being walked along the campground streets.
No dogs is our preference.

RE: Thousand Trails Zone Camping Pass Review
Be aware that when you go to purchase the zone pass online the following message is given: Note: We are unable to sell the Thousand Trails Zone Pass to residents of MN, MS or SD.
Since we intend to set up domicile in SD, this applies to us. - Lori

RE: Yellowstone in spring
I'm a frequent Yellowstone visitor. Love Grizzly - good sites, good people, good location. I noticed "hiker" in your logo. Mid-May will be lovely, but many of the trails will be inaccessible unless you use snowshoes or cross country skis. Some trails are closed till summer for bear traffic. Mt Washburn won't be available till summer thaw. You also may have a snowy drive unless coming in from the south. Check http://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/hours.htm for more info. They are posting opening dates for 2013 spring. I've been to YSNP during every month of the year and have not been disappointed. It's a unique place in this world, and you'll miss the big crowds in May. - many pros & cons, hope this helps

RE: ROUTE from Pocatello to Jackson
Most direct according to google maps is - I15, to 26 to Teton Pass Highway (31)
I've taken this route more than once. I think it is the most scenic.

RE: Bryce Canyon - quick look possible?
Hi,
IMO, the best views in the park are from the top looking down. Driving through the park and stopping at the overlooks is a treat in itself. http://www.nps.gov/brca/planyourvisit/virtualtour.htm http://hfc.nps.gov/carto/PDF/BRCAmap1.pdf Ending at Sunset Point is a good way to end the day. While awaiting sunset, you can hike down a little ways and see Thor's Hammer on the Navajo Trail, or just go for an easy stroll on the Rim Trail. Both trails are accessible from Sunset Point. Have fun!

RE: opening at Fishing Bridge
Thanks for sharing your cancellation! That was really self-less and nice to know someone is thinking of others! If you haven't been in Utah before and want to see the Great Salt Lake and some different birds and animals, consider a side trip to Antelope Island State Park. It is about 30 minutes north of SLC taking the Antelope Dr. Exit 332 off I-15 heading west. It is 9$/car entrance fee. There is usually good birding on the causeway and some nice short hikes on the island to stretch your legs. This may add a couple of hours to your trip though. There's an excellent bird refuge at exit 363, that also would take about 2 hours to enjoy, but this would be all in the car. Also, GTNP has bike rental at Dornan's near Moose. There's a new bike path that offers some nice views. Sorry to hear about your jeep!

RE: Choke Canyon State Park-What A Rip
Don't be quick to judge, this is a good link to some TX park info http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/parkinfo/help/
Next time you feel like you're losing money due to a short stay, maybe look at it as a charitable donation towards keeping recreational wild places available to US citizens. Or see it as an investment in our children's future. When the parks close, anything and anyone could buy that land and decimate it. Through state-owned and federal-owned wild places we get to enjoy the beauty and save wild animals and plants for ourselves now and for future generations. I would like to celebrate and support this, rather than abandon it to fates unknown.
