I've been dreading this kind of drastic response to the incident. And yes, it almost seems like Hank's ghost had a hand in this since it, to me, is a heavy-handed reaction to the most unfortunate stupidity of some employees.

I've been exploring/enjoying that area every year for the past 9 years. Most days I only see people fishing, not other explorers. We always spend a whole day in the neighborhood, enjoying our now traditional lunch at Fortress Geyser.

We were planning another full day there this September.

As we planned our backcountry adventures for this year I remarked to my travel buddy I was worried that our best years of exploring the wonders of Yellowstone were behind us.

Add to that the full closure of the Canyon south rim trail from Inspiration Point to Uncle Tom's Trail due to construction and we have some major re-thinking of our activities this year. Which is a shame since we have a newbie in our group this year, introducing her to our special places.

I have my own thoughts about what will be closed next but I'll keep them to myself. I'm just glad I got to see many of the more interesting iconic features in the back country.
