I got a new lens and it’s really big. Funny how this can sometimes vault one back into taking pictures and seeing things in a new light. Now, when I’m on the scene with other photographers, my lens is almost as big as theirs…… Later this morning, I am headed to Lamar Valley on [...]

These four river otters have been quite active thus far this winter season on the Yellowstone River at Chittenden Bridge. The elevated view allows for great photographs and viewing of these curious animals. On one occasion, we watched them dive down, surface back up to the ice and eat stone fly nymphs – that was [...]

First off, Happy New Year from West Yellowstone, Montana. The past 12 months was filled with wonderful memories on and off the river. Thanks to those of you who diligently return to fish with Big Sky Anglers each season, and to those first timers who trust in our word, we continue to thrive in this [...]

We are five days into 2013 and I have been so busy, that not enough time has been spared to write much at all. After recording nine straight of 10-12 hour days guiding in YNP, I contracted the bug. When the touristas arrive to view Yellowstone in all it’s splendor, they bring sickness with them. [...]

YNP is has been open for almost a week. However, those which live with in the Park’s bounds, never knew it was closed. The wolf below, infected with mange, has been cruising the roads from Mid Way Geyser Basin all the way north past Gibbon Falls. With any luck, it won’t scratch itself to death [...]

We hit the sack last night around 10:30pm. Beforehand, I slipped out to the front porch to grab a few more logs for the fiery beast which warms our little cabin. It was cold. Yes, it’s always cold here in West Yellowstone, but this was different. This cold hadn’t been here since last winter. I [...]

Yellowstone’s Winter Season, over the snow, begins tomorrow. We traveled in this morning, guides only, for a day with YNP personnel and a trip to Old Faithful. This day provides us with the opportunity to break in new drivers, for the rules to be laid out once again and for the mechanics to test machines. [...]

Last Thursday, March 15th, marked the end of the Winter Season in Yellowstone National Park. I would have posted these shots that night, but things have been super busy for us here in West Yellowstone. There was the end of season party at Alpen Guides, then a Half Marathon in BZN (no, I didn’t run. [...]

The blizzard which came through over the past fours days, bumped up the snowpack to respectable numbers. We are slowly getting it, but it will take all winter to accumulate a normal snowpack. The south entrance to YNP, near Flagg Ranch, has been hammered with snow over the past month. Once again, on the way [...]

YNP continues take up most of my time these days. Running around Yellowstone in a vintage Bombardier is a fabulous way to get a paycheck, and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. The shot above didn’t turn out as good as the real thing. If you tilt your screen the shot gets better…… My [...]
