We camped at the Fishing Bridge campground. This was the only RV campground with electric, water and sewer. There was no picnic table or fire ring. As we checked in, the ranger explained all the safety precautions, like, check outside the door for bears before exiting the camper and keep grills and coolers inside the camper unit. They let us know that they were very strict on the rules because the campground was a bear migration path. No wonder there were no fire pits. The second morning a woman was excitedly telling Chris and our next camper neighbor about the bear that just sauntered through the area. We didn't see any bears in our camp area even though I looked constantly.
As you can see from the picture, the campers were really stacked on top of each other. One set of campers had only inches between them. A little too close for comfort but there was no place to sit or cook outside anyway. We looked at the campground as just a place to sleep. It was in a great location in the park as it was in the middle of the park and just a few miles from a wildlife viewing area.
Well, look a there. I did get a picture of one bear at our campsite, but he is all growl and very sweet.
Lane and Karis had a great time in these snow piles, or "forts" as they called them. This one was right across from our campsite.
We enjoyed two full days of perfect weather...blue skies, low 70's. Tuesday morning we woke up to snow. Yes, I said SNOW. It was going to be a cold, rainy, snowy day, but that did not stop us, we had wildlife to see!!! I wanted to see a grizzly bear!!!
This was one of the most beautiful sites in the park, The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The falls were over 300 feet tall.
