Heads Up
- 1. Book national park lodging or campsites at least 6-12 months in advance.
- 2. Carry bear spray and maintain a safe distance (100 yards from bears/wolves).
- 3. Check for seasonal road closures, especially in early June or late September.
- 4. Stay on boardwalks in geothermal areas to avoid dangerous thin crust.
