Welcome to Max Waugh's Yellowstone page, a new hub for Max's Yellowstone National Park photos and pictures, Max's archived trip reports, and other useful Yellowstone information
and links. You can access all of this site's YNP photo archives from here, as well as copies of the trip reports originally posted on the
Yellowstone.net forums. We hope this
site will serve as a useful tool for trip research or simply as a way to explore Yellowstone from your home! |

NEW! In January I traveled to Yellowstone for my first-ever winter trip. It was only for an extended weekend, and the weather didn't cooperate the first couple days, so photo opportunities were limited. However, it was still a spectacular environment to explore and we did get a little sun on the final day. Lots of coyotes, bighorn sheep, bison and even a few wolves. Plus, I saw my first bobcat!

This was a packing list I put together for one of our Yellowstone road trips. This was intended to give the first-timers coming with us an idea of what they might need to bring on a road trip to Yellowstone. Things to keep in mind: this list is catered a group of people who intend to "car camp" in one of Yellowstone's many official camp sites during the summer. The items on this list may not all apply to your group, vehicle, time of travel or camping situation. It is intended as a general reference and a good basis for a packing list.
