Hi R, yes - in June, July and Aug. The North Rim gets snow 6/ 7 weeks before the South Rim. The North Rim has limited services. The Lodge is wonderful! But to clearly experience it, requires lots of hiking to view points. I - LOVE - the North Rim, several 100’ miles, hiked along it! DG

Randall, If your wife wants to see the Grand Canyon, plan to visit the South Rim... While the North Rim is open, the "normal, Expected views" aren't there. Yes it higher in elevation and has less people, that's because you really want to be there, to get there. I live in Boise, Idaho - let me...

So, there are several campground in-and-around Trinity Lake, in the Shasta-Trinity N.F. - - - Again, grab their rules for dispersed camping. Up on Shasta Mtn is a wonderful campground of Panther Meadows. Lots of hiking trails to the top!

Which Trinity Lake where? There are several named that…. If in Idaho there is a campground at the Big Lake, Cuthrout Trout. If in Idaho, that area is in the Boise National Forest, see their rules related to off grid camping…

I concur with Mike that you should have that App on your phone, it works off-line and 85% of the Owyhee Uplands National Back Country Byway is without cell service. If you google if official name it should pull-up an article that Pete Zimowsky wrote on July 1 1993. Attached is a link to the...

The train station in McGill is 98% complete. NNRY and White Pine County was awarded 10Million to replace and fix the highway crossing, and complete the track into McGill. Can't wait. I want permission and Track Warrant to drive along the tracks from McGill to Currie. White Pine Co. doesn't...

YEP! Done that going and coming back... Saves 48 miles into Lost Wages. It's an awful road in a Sleet, Snow storm. It bore the Ice Queen last October. DCG

Latest Update from the NPS: Flood Recovery and Operations - Yellowstone National Park (U.S. National Park Service)

Kent, thanks for the update. Park employee’s say the damage is far worse from Cooke City to Mammoth Hot Springs, which hasn’t been seen, because most of the film / video is of the Yellowstone River drainage from Canyon Village. An N. P. employee says that the road from Canyon Village to the...

A detour off Hwy 93 in Neveda, is to hit Great Basin N.P., plan in advanced to camp there and tour Lehman Cave, and the drive up to Wheeler peak... The are State Parks near Ely, NV as well.

The damage is going to take years to repair. I feel sorry for the folks in Gardiner, MT - they are cut-off and have no electricity. This flooding is worse outside the Park, the town of Red Lodge has major damage as well...

Thanks Michael, Upper Reynolds Creek is home of Carnage Canyon, home of damaged rocker panels.

Clay, there is alot of "Public Lands" near Boise. Some of this is camp-able. Some isn't, because it's fragile -or- on a National Trail. Boise was a depot for those who came across the Oregon Trial, which crosses the city. 100% of Boise Ave., is the path of the OT through East Boise. The...

Hi James, be aware that if you're planning to visit Arches National Park, you'll need to purchase a "Timed Entry Pass" in advanced. We watched lots of people being turned away... The Potash Road up to the Shafer Trail is stunning Vista's and Switch -backs. You'll need a Pass to travel the...

ZIM, It's cellular - if you've bar's it works. No Service, no go... But the software heals itself when reconnected... It's really simple. David

I don't see Toyota USA, opening the US market to this Hilux Camper... I doubt we'll ever see it here in the states. Just like the Turbo Diesel and 70 Series...

Moab has a Brewing Co., as well. The Canyonlands are huge in land space, It's almost impossible to do Islands in the Sky and Needles, in the same day. There are 4X roads in the Park, you need a trail pass, and if camping an overnight pass for designated camp sites. It's Deep and Wide, holds...

Hi Jesse, My wife and I just got back from a 12 Day trip, 3 nights in Moab, 3 nights near Dolores, a Snow storm in Telluride, Ouray and Silverton. The Avalanche Brewing Company is worth the stop... ; ) If you're planning to visit Arches N.P. while in Moab, you'll need to purchase "Timed...
