Nice pic!


In terms of parking at Fountain Flat drive - it would be a pretty far walk (at least an hour) to get to this new overlook area. The area just opened (official yesterday, I think), which might be why you hadn't seen much of it in June.


I've just found this info on the official nps site:

"Yellowstone National Park seeks comments from the public on a proposal to construct a temporary gravel parking area near the Fairy Falls Trailhead at Midway Geyser Basin. In response to increased visitation, the lot would provide additional parking and help alleviate traffic congestion, safety concerns, and resource impacts.

The proposed parking area would be in a previously disturbed location near the current trailhead parking (view photo). The area could accommodate approximately 74 passenger vehicles."



So it looks like it is definitely a new parking lot (in addition to the one already there) - still not exactly sure where this is though...
