Zero Asian Tour busses. All food was prepackaged. Road from Tower to Canyon, up over Mt Washburn is closed all year (can't do the upper loop)
Was high 30's and raining this morning. Snowing on Washburn and Electric Peak
Couple bears between Roosevelt and Tower close to the tower waterfall about 30 feet off road. A lone wolf in meadow between Madison Junction and West about 100 feet off road. Pack of wolves in the lamar valley that were visible via scopes. Grizzly had been seen earlier in the day in the Hayden Valley but we didn't see it. Usual herds of elk in Mammoth and Gardiner. Much fewer Buffalo than normal it seems, but still hundreds.
Campgrounds looked full even with the crappy weather
