Bears get a lot of attention in Wyoming, but none quite as much as Grizzly 399. She has become a legend and that has become a big problem this year more than most.
Yellowstone National Park is one of Wyoming's treasures. Millions of people from all over the world have come to Wyoming to enjoy the park. Many of these visitors arrive and enjoy without any incident. However in every bunch, there are a few bad apples.
Yellowstone National Park sees hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. Every single year there are dozens of instances from tourists (or 'tourons' as they have come to be known by) behaving badly and/or carelessly - resulting in injury. We have to do something to prepare folks for visiting the park. I present the Yellowstone National Park Tourist Survival Kit.
People from all around the U.S. make stops here in the cowboy state for several reasons. Some just want to know if we still ride horses to our jobs or if we still use the pony express. Others come here to dig around in specific parts of Wyoming and end up empty-handed.
Maybe you heard that an idiot walked on the Grand Prismatic Spring area of Yellowstone. Fortunately, he didn't get away with it as a hero tourist captured the stupid act on video.
Apparently animals can be tourons too. A small dog was caught on video harassing a pair of bison at Yellowstone National Park on Saturday, May 11th, 2019.
Park officials say bison have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other animal. They are are unpredictable and can run three times faster than humans.
The unofficial start of summer vacation season is just a month away, and police are reminding those planning a trip to Cheyenne to leave their weed at home.
