    Seeing the Wolf pack is more amazing than the Bear encounter. Thanks Todd for bringing our beautiful, amazing world In to our living room via mobile phone. Thanks

      Ha, yes… indeed it was much more rewarding… I locked eyes with a wolf from 30 yards & we both just stood there… that was awesome!
      Cheers Lonesome Pine…

    I always enjoy your updates. I only found your channel because of the Yellowstone flooding (we had a holiday booked there and then the pandemic hit). Your news and updates kept us informed and I am happy to say we had a wonderful visit to Yellowstone (all the way from the UK) this summer!

    Thanks for the update.
    I just visited Haleakala NP in Hawaii and am letting you know the road to the top is in excellent shape. It appears to have been paved recently. However, it is one scary adventure, with steep drop offs and no guard rails most of the way. My rental car was a Dodge Challenger so powering up was no problem.

    • @theparkjunkie

    Hey Todd! Another great roundup of park news. I'm really enjoying these weekly park news videos so my vote is please keep doing them. A question just out of curiosity and not meaning to pry into your private life, When you leave one National Park and head to another, do you have park employment secured ahead of time?

      & no, I usually don’t really have anything lined up, although I did in Yellowstone. I have pretty much just lived & worked here in Zion & traveled for about half the year due to the flexibility of my work schedule.
      So most of my recent national park visits are as a visitor, albeit a regular, long term visitor… 🤠

  • @Yawndave

    So, I take it your Yellowstone gig has ended? Not surprising that Zion is hot (and crowded!) this time of year, I suppose it might be cooler up at Lava Point or a bit further afield in Cedar Breaks. Looking forward to your trip report from The Narrows...have you ever gone down to The Subway? Until next time, happy trails!

    • @theparkjunkie
      @theparkjunkie  2 года назад

      Yes, that’s right Yawn, I no longer in the Yell…
      My work ended about a month ago. So I was just lounging & hiking trails for a month & soaking up that Yellowstone summer sun!
      But I’m eager for fall here in the desert! So much adventure down here… endless!

    Yay, you made it to the desert SW! I'm thinking fall in Yellowstone would be awfully nice though, it's been too dang hot during the day. :) I can't believe you saw wolves in Pelican Valley! So cool!! Here's a reminder to keep speeds low and pay attention on park roads (and others with curves and dropoffs!) A guy took an unplanned descent down an alpine hillside near the top of Trail Ridge Road in ROMO the other night. No word yet on what happened to cause this. Luckily he (a Florida Man!, poor guy!) was able to walk the 500 feet to the road after his SUV had rolled at least once before coming to a stop. I read the report of the first motorist (a local) on the scene who had seen headlights where no headlights should be. So scary! I'm glad it was in a grassy spot and not a rock strewn cliff face.

    • @theparkjunkie
      @theparkjunkie  2 года назад +1

      Yes, I bet it is quite nice up there for fall, but I get restless! 😁
      The wolves were super cool… I’ve always wanted to lock eyes with one… Felt good to see them on my last Yellowstone hike of the year… A good farewell…
