Bear feeding was as popular if not more popular th

Bear feeding was as popular if not more popular than geyser watching in Yellowstone until 1970. Huge garbage pits were set up for bears to come root around, and for people to observe. This was part of the Yellowstone experience. According to Horace M. Albright, Yellowstone superintendent in the 1920s and later second director of the National Park Service, bears also started appearing along roadsides, knowing people would stop and throw out food to them. Please keep in mind that Yellowstone is still bear country. The best practices for staying safe include carrying bear spray and NEVER feed bears. Bears that become dependent on human food may become aggressive towards people and must be killed. Plan your trip to YNP and see how many wild animals you can spot. #VisitPowell

Yellowstone has more than 500 active geysers (more than half of the world’s geysers and the largest collection). Not all geyser eruptions are predictable. Some geysers in the park erupt every few hours, while some erupt irregularly, only a few times a year. For example, the Giantess geyser goes entire years without erupting and when it does can last between 4 to 48 hours! Powell is part of the greater Yellowstone ecosystem and only 90 minutes from the east gate. #EastGateYP #VisitPowell

Four rowboats were shipped to Wyoming in 1869 for John Wesley Powell’s one-thousand-mile journey through the Grand Canyon that lasted 99 days. John Westley Powell and his men completed the journey without life jackets and in wooden boats.

During John Westley Powell’s second river expedition, he had a wooden armchair strapped to his boat, the Emma Dean named after Powell’s wife.

A testament to how difficult rafting the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon is that it took another 80 years for the next 100 people to complete the journey.

John Westley Powell’s adventures were turned into a Disney film in 1960 called Ten Who Dared.

The ten men on the journey included a printer, three mountain men, a possible fugitive & cook, 2 skilled boatsman, a botanist and a soldier that agreed only because he would get a discharge from the army.
