Hiking Slough Creek and my Assessment of the Yellowstone Park Ranger

This is a June 10, 2020 hike from the Slough Creek trailhead to the park boundary at the Silvertip ranch and back. It is 22 miles round trip and this time of year the temperature is cool, lots of animals to see, and if you like wildflowers and birds there are a lot of them to see also. I also talk a little bit about my impressions of Park Rangers. I hear both good and bad stories from people but this is my personal thoughts. This is only about Park Rangers and not the other staff that you see like, for example, the park staff at bear jams.

    Thank you specially info on park rangers. Birds are a very important indicator of any parks health. They tell the story of climate beyond the park. The history info I didn’t expect but it makes total sense! Thank you!

    The park is beautifully green, creeks running full, there is no place like Yellowstone! Thanks so much for sharing.

    Slough Creek was my very first adventure in Yellowstone. I think God created this place with the idea that anyone seeing the stars here, would understand...

    Wonderful hike Stan, and thanks for taking us along. Your impressions of the Park Rangers are the same as mine regarding their professionalism and knowledge and interactions.

    You let us see nature that many of us would never enjoy, and you do it in a way that makes it feel like we are there, watching the noble animals in nature's beauty. Thanks so much for this. When our worlds become chaotic, it's nice to know you are there, inviting us to join you in that peaceful wonder.

    I once climbed to the top of that butte at the beginning of the first meadow while my brother fly fished below in the creek. The view was simply incredible from up there.

    Thanks Stan. I have had the good fortune to experience several trips up the Slough Creek drainage, once during a multi-day backpacking adventure during the summer and once skiing it in the dead of winter. Both were excellent trips. Your video brought back many good memories of the wonderful sights and sounds YNP has to offer, especially if one takes the time and makes the effort to explore the trails. Thanks again for sharing your adventures.

    Wonderful as always! My grandson was 5 when we were there and he did the Junior Ranger program. So cute. At the end he had to get his badge from a ranger. I thought it would be a badge and a picture but he sat down and went over every page in the booklet with him. I was so impressed that he took his time. We have reservations to be there in mid September. Can’t wait.
