A. First of all, you can enter Canada with very little hassle but you will need your passport to re-enter the United States so don't forget to carry it with you. That said, here's the route I suggest you take. From Yellowstone take either 191 through West Yellowstone or 89 through Gardiner north to I-90. Go west on I-90 then take 287 north to Helena. In Helena, take I-15 north into Canada. You will enter Canada at the Sweetgrass border crossing where I-15 becomes Hwy 4. The speed limit signs also change from "miles per hour" to "kilometers per hour" so watch your speed. 80 KPH is approximately 50 MPH.

What National Park is the Best Place to Go on Vacation?

A. The pass is just to get in the park. Camping is extra. I thought that's how it was, the last time I used a national park, but it's been a while so I checked on the website. I'm sorry I don't know how to post a link because I finally found a complete list of fees for everything including the daily fee for park use, but it wasn't easy to find.

A. The answer to both of your questions is the south entrance by way of Grand Teton National Park. The south entrance is the shortest route between Boulder and Old Faithful. If your geography is as bad as you say it is you should get yourself a map so you can plot your route. You can also use mapquest.com to find your way. I hope you plan to spend a few days in Yellowstone because Old Faithful is just one of many thermal features in the park. Lower Yellowstone Falls and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone are also must see. For planning purposes I recommend you spend at least 3 full days in the park to see the highlights.

A. If you want to see something really different, you should drive up to Death Valley. I've been to over half of the National Parks and this was truly the most awesome. It's about a 6 hour drive from San Diego. There's also Joshua Tree National Park which is only about 2 1/2 hours away; Sequoia National Park (5 hours). Finally, there's Los Padres National Forest near Ventura (3 hours). You can camp there and take the boat to the Channel Islands National Park or actually camp on one of the islands. Check the links below to see what facilities are available and to make reservations. Have fun!

What is the best tour from san francisco to yosemite national park?
Q. do you guys know any good one day or two day tours to yosemite national park? also not too expensive?
Asked by John - Tue Mar 27 17:10:28 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Yosemite tours are very expensive. But then, practically anything booked from San Francisco is expensive. Though it's not like you have much of a choice in the matter, as most tourists arrive from (and return to) the city. I don't think the 1-day bus tour ($115) is worth it because you only get about 2 hours of free time inside the park. The 1-day train tour ($140) is slightly better...giving you a more comfortable ride and roughly 3 hours. However, private vans and overnight trips ($200+) are the way to go. Yosemite is so large and the sporting activities are so numerous that it really does take more than a day to do it justice. For an easier and less costly daytrip, I suggest Muir Woods, Wine Country, or Santa Cruz instead.

As far as being open in early May, I think these are your only options: Azalea (has showers, but they may not be open for the summer yet), Buckeye Flat (along a river, but no showers), Canyon View (has showers, but campground might not be open for the summer yet), Lodgepole (along river, showers probably not opened for the summer), Potwisha (along a river), Sentinel (showers).

Humans cannot do anything within the park without permission from the NPS. The Kilauea volcano has been erupting since 1983 and at this point I would say that the volcano has had a greater impact on people than people have had on it. I've seen prehistoric structures built by the ancient Hawaiians disappear under the lava. I've also seen buildings built within the last 50 years disappear under the lava.

How much does it cost to take a tent and camp at Yosemite National Park?
Q. My family is wanting to plan our first trip to Yosemite National Park. We are wanting to take a tent and do the whole natural camping thing. How much does it cost do this? I know you can rent lodges but we want to bring our own tent. Where can we stay if we bring our tent? We want to be near the water. So if you have any answers or suggestions, I would gladly appreciate them. Thanks!

A. To enter the park for up to a week it is $25. Wawona, Hodgdon Meadows, Crane Flat, Tuolumne Meadows and the the Pines Campgrounds in Yosemite Valley are $18 a night last I looked. Bridalveil Creek, White Wolf are $12 while Tamarack Flat, Yosemite Creek, Porcupine Flat are $8. All of the valley floor sites are by reservations only and normally are booked pretty quickly. I think they start taking them 5 months in advance. Most of the others are first come, first serve. One of my favorites is White Wolf, but most of the others are great too. I assumed you are talking about car camping rather than backpacking. If you are backpacking and want to be near water, cathedral lakes is a beautiful area (just make sure you are at least 200ft… [cont.]

What is the most prominent, geological feature of Big Bend National Park?
Q. I would like to know what the most prominent, geological feature of Big Bend National Park is. Is it the Rio Grande River?
Asked by Sara - Sun Oct 25 21:00:18 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Its more known for the rafting, but the most prominent feature is the rock layers in the park. Large numbers of dinosaur bones and other fossils are found in a layer of Glen Rose Limestone and Del Carmen Limestone. The depth of the canyon carved by the Rio grande is also unusual, being deeper than average. A large thrust fault creates the bend in the park's name of teh river

Whats the best way to get a job with the National Park Service?
Q. I'm a sophomore in college and my major is history. I was just planning on teaching it, but my friend (who is also a history major) told me that he is going to get a job with a National Park and I thought that was a great idea. So, if anyone out there works for the National Parks or knows anything about starting a career in one I'd really appreciate it.
