VIDEO TR: Gifford Pinchot National Forest - Day 3

I got situated in my campsite, then my friend arrived to start the weekend with hiking and fishing planned. Our campsite had several very persuasive chipmunks we fed and got a laugh watching them scurry about doing their business. The camp host came by and told us we could move to a better site than the one we had. Leveling the TC created a 4 foot climb up to the TC door. The new spot was nice and level, no pole vaulting required to get into the TC.

Enjoy!

Yes thermal waters enter the Lamar River. Anyway it is a great time to visit. Temps are just right and the animals are becoming active as Fall arrives. I don't mean to downplay chipmunks but.....

If you value your wire harness, you'll leave some nuts under the picnic table...

Yawn! I spent the day in Yellowstone, mostly the Lamar Valley. Wildlife consisted of hundreds of bison, several antelope, one Griz crossing the road, Ravens, herds of Elk and more.... I can see chikmunks in my backyard.


Been years since I've been to Yellowstone NP. Lamar Valley, Doesn't the river have a section in it where hot springs mix with and heat the river water to a decent temperature. From satellite view, you can see herds of animals grazing in the ancient meandering river channels. Enjoy your time there.
PS: I wouldn't underestimate the abilities of a chipmunk!

Morrison Creek CG looks to be burnt down all around it in satellite view. New growth has it's beauty.

Looks like a super nice CG and site. Unfortunately it's just a little far (and south, we never go S.) for our weekend trips.

It's 4 to 8 hours depending on traffic from Seattle. The drive is rewarding itself. Make a reservation or get there midweek.
