Google Maps and why you shouldn't always trust them, especially when planning a Yellowstone National Park visit

11:39 PM PDT, May 10, 2008
After checking on the Yellowstone weather forecast while planning for our family visit next week to Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, I just checked out Google Maps cool new "terrain" layer for Yellowstone, to see just how detailed it is.

First thing to note is a search for "yellowstone national park, wy" lands you on the map at Yellowstone's South Entrance station, not in the middile of the park, or even the Mammoth Hot Springs park HQ, so you'll have to scroll around a bit – or simple follow my sample links below.

So, Google's relatively new terrain layer is pretty cool, but not authoritative, especially when it comes to labeling developed, (hu)man-made park features, like camgrounds.

For example, on the more detailed (or zoomed-in levels) their map shows a backcountry campground halfway along the Mary Mountain Trail, on the seldom-seen Central Plateau, but fails to label the lovely Mary Lake, which does appear in aquamarine, if you toggle to the Satellite layer.

The most important thing to note here is that, while their is an NPS-only patrol cabin on the north shore of Mary Lake, their is no camping allowed along the entire Mary Mountain/Nez Perce trail, due to NPS bear management restrictions, and it hasn't been allowed for several years.

This restriction makes the Central Plateau traverse a challenging 21-mile dayhike with 500+ feet of overall elevation gain, hiking east to west, from the Hayden Valley to the Firehole Basin, along a historic stagecoach route. Most hikers opt for an out-and-back exploration of the Hayden Valley, starting from the trailhead just south of Canyon Village.

In any scenario, this in one of my favorite hiking routes in Yellowstone, for its combination of abundant wildlife, birdwatching, unmapped thermal features and stunning scenery, all relatively accessible from the Grand Loop Road.

Watch for more future posts detailing other quirks I noticed about Google's mapping of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. And please, post links to quirks you find here in the comments.


  Happy trails,

Preparing for a mid-May 2008 visit to Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks

12:12 AM PDT, April 15, 2008, updated at 5:53 PM PDT, April 20, 2008
My family, the grandparents and I are preparing to take our infant son to Yellowstone and the Tetons for his first visit to Wyoming and the National Parks, during the second half of May.

Today's Yellowstone weather report -- call 307-344-7381 and press 5 then 1 for current local conditions, or 307-344-2117 for recorded NPS Yellowstone road reports, updated as conditions change -- says the high temperature reached 50-56ºF with mostly sunny conditions, with lows ranging from 28º to 34ºF, and southwest winds blowing up to 20mph.

Tomorrow? Highs 30-36ºF, lows 14-20ºF, with rain and snow likely, with an expected snowfall accumulation of 2-5 inches. This dramatic shift illustrates just how volatile weather is in the Greater Yellowstone region.

When calling, you can also request a free Yellowstone National Park trip planning packet. For other questions that cannot be answered by the park's official website (or by this blogger in reply to your comments left below!), normal NPS phone business hours are 8am to 5pm, M-F, MST.

The NPS Yellowstone website also reports that the park's south entrance recorded 101 inches (yes, inches) of snow in March alone. Plows are currently at work t
