[Geysers] White Creek access trail

[ufreund at att.net]

I was amazed at the number of people in another gray area that shall remain
unmentioned for obvious reasons.  It looked like a tour bus had unloaded.
That area is every bit as sensitive and unsafe to the average tourist as
White Creek.  So my suggestion is to remove all mention of everything except
where there are boardwalks and officially approved and maintained trails.
Someday NPS will close the entire Park to unescorted tourists.  It's already
happened in the winter season, except for the road to Cooke City.

 

Thanks,

Thank you to all who answered my query about the White Creek informal trail.
The four very different answers from four people show the great diversity in
ways of thinking among our small group of people who care a lot about the
geysers.

Now that I know a little more about it, I will remove any mention of the
White Creek features in Yellowstone Treasures. Besides wanting to offer a
useful book about the park, my intention has always been to present (1)
interesting but accurate information and (2) to keep in mind the best
interests of the park and its features.

I would welcome any corrections or other constructive suggestions from
geyser gazers. This is an especially good time to let me know anything you
have observed that doesn't belong in this book or that can be improved,
since we are preparing a new edition of the guidebook. 

 

Gazers must accept, though, that the geyser information has to be quite
general in a book that cannot be updated every year. While I may salivate
over those Morning Geyser eruptions that didn't keep going long enough for
me to get there, I can't justify mentioning treats like that.
