During the summer months we usually take a short walk from our campsites after dinner to explore the surrounding area. You never know what you'll find hidden nearby.

Next week the Senate could vote on the Boundary Waters copper mine bill, which would determine how ALL our public lands and waters are managed for the rest of our lives. This is serious.
Please take a minute to contact your Senators this weekend. Thanks!

Grizzly spotted on Specimen Ridge in Yellowstone
This is not uncommon. Grizzlies may exit a den if there is a food source nearby but according to the photographer this bear was just ambling about.
Always be prepared. Even during the winter months!

Removing Boundary Waters protections by passing H.J. Res. 140 would ignore the American people and prioritize the profits of a foreign mining company over the interest of the American people, our beloved Wilderness, and its wildlife.

Reward increased to $31k for wolf killed illegally just outside YNP.
I took this image a few years ago while hiking along the Rescue Creek Trail. It was a rare and exciting moment in the backcountry.
Wolves remain a contentious issue. See the alt text for more info and some additional thoughts.
