tourists

"Don't pet the wildlife". This seems like a no-brainer to the average Wyomingite, but for some strange reason, a large percentage of our annual tourist population just doesn't get it.

I would love to say this is an oldie but a goodie. Unfortunately, it's not good. It's that time several years ago when Yellowstone was once again made famous because of tourists doing dumb things around wildlife.

There are a lot of things people do to get that perfect picture. This should not be one of them.

Groshart said the man reported being just fine after the incident.

If you are sick, do not visit the park. Self-quarantine to avoid exposing others.

Trying to get closer to bison is dangerous for many reasons. It's obvious these are large animals, but they're also wildly unpredictable. Yellowstone tourists learned this lesson the hard way a few weeks ago.

Bears get a lot of attention in Wyoming, but none quite as much as Grizzly 399. She has become a legend and that has become a big problem this year more than most.

Yellowstone National Park is one of Wyoming's treasures. Millions of people from all over the world have come to Wyoming to enjoy the park. Many of these visitors arrive and enjoy without any incident. However in every bunch, there are a few bad apples.

It appears the tourists (or tourons) refuse to learn.

People from all around the U.S. make stops here in the cowboy state for several reasons. Some just want to know if we still ride horses to our jobs or if we still use the pony express. Others come here to dig around in specific parts of Wyoming and end up empty-handed.
