Yellowstone Lodges just posted a newsletter with some photos, videos, and recordings of the elk rut. This annual mating ritual occurs in the second half of September all across the West, but the two best places to observe in are in Yellowstone NP and Rocky Mountain NP. You can see there newsletter here, but we also wanted to share some of our favorite photos of this time. Enjoy!

We took advantage of the free weekend in the National Parks to visit Glacier, the subject of our next guide book. We saw many amazing natural wonders in terms of waterfalls, towering peaks, and Glaciers. But perhaps the most memorable part of this weekend was the fantastic wildlife we saw, beginning with close encounters with Mountain Goats and ending with a close encounter with a Grizzly sow and her cub! That made for a thrilling climax to our quick visit. Now comes the long winter where we put everything we learned from this and many other visits into a book that we can share with others. More to come!

We, Harley and Abby, are the parents of 7 boys and 1 girl whom we regularly drag into any and every national park we come near to. We love our parks and know that the only chance we have of keeping and maintaining this priceless resource is to give our children a love of them too.
