I am planning on a solo camping/hiking trip (3 days in the park).
I have read the YellowStone Pages, etc., but I wanted to get some
expert/experienced advice on how/where/rules/permits, etc.
I plan to fly into Bozeman, MT, rent a car, drive to the Canyon
campgrounds and start from there. I would like to camp near
people the first day, to meet/discuss YellowStone trials/experiences, however,
I would like to spend days 2 and 3 in more remote areas.
Of course I would love to wildlife watch (brown bear and bison), but
i'm not expecting the Discovery Channel.
What I would like to know is..
1) Can I get camping (tent) reservations in advance, who do i call?
2) Where are the semi-populated camping areas within hiking distance
of a good wildlife watching area?
3) What town is the closer, for flying in?
Thank you in advance.
