yellowstone trip

So, just found out the trail i will be on next summer. Heart Lake Trail. Has anyone been there, is it good hammock area?

Bring your bear spray and don't sleep with cookies in your pockets. They are plentiful.

Don't know mate but I was googling a bit yesterday, map bandana to be precise.

I mean a bandana is as multifunctional as they come and I knew there were some 'mapdana's' so, among others, this came up.

No idea if it is any good but if they would have it for areas I am traveling I would want one....

Happy trails!

i was in yellowstone two years ago and if its anything like the gallatan range it should be a great place to hang . the wife and i did 60 miles on the sky rim trail. it is an epic place you should have a great time . i agree with the bear spray there are so many bears and they are no joke.

bear cannister is a requirement,,enjoy yellowstone..its the only place with no other compareable like it. Your at a avg. 8000 elevation, so watch your weather.

A good link if you have not seen it:

Also grizzly warnings posted for the eastern front of the Beartooth Range. Reason: never have there been so many sightings.
The cannister stays with you at all times. UDAP's version comes with a holster and you can shoot from the hip with it without taking in out. It's the one I carry.

That is a beautiful area and heavily forested, so you should have no problems. There are some date restrictions based on the bears coming out of hibernation and normal flows, but I am sure you are aware of those and planning accordingly. You will love it.

Thanks all! yes i'm aware of bears. yes i will have spray. i'm more worried about what my fellow hikers know, seems i have been dubbed Bear Food:mellow:
