And good morning!

The western and northern edges of the park are actually in Montana which means that three of the main entrances are in Montana until you get about two miles inside the park and a little corner in the SW of the park is in Idaho.

The town of West Yellowstone is real sketchy about this kind of news because they fear they might lose five bucks from people been scared off. To the Chamber of Commerce there; anyone or anything that might cause one person with five bucks to not spend it in town is something that should be downplayed to the hilt. They will not tell you, when planning your snowmobile vacation that there isn't any snow and probably won't be during their stay. They would rather people show up and get pissed because they will still spend money while they are there. Tourism is turning into a bad social problem. So they will downplay the dangers of bear country until you get there and then it's more of an invitation to hear a suggestion that you are not safe in bear territory unless you protect yourself in specific ways. It's so stupid and greedy.
