One Wyoming man in particular hopes to make a memorable impact upon Yellowstone visitors this Memorial Day weekend. The Billings Gazette reported earlier this month that Bert Smith of Green River is planning a protest over what he sees as a decline in access to public lands. Smith is particularly upset over the possibility of the elimination of snowmobiles in Yellowstone. His plan is to create a traffic jam in Yellowstone and other national parks around the country over this weekend. Now, this plan might disrupt some other national parks, but Yellowstone is another matter altogether.
Many visitors already drive slow in order to better see the wildlife and scenery.
Not to mention the fact that wildlife often hold up traffic. In fact, if indeed the protestors follow through on their threat, they might actually get to enjoy the beauty and majesty of Yellowstone that many snowmobilers in the Park never really see because they travel so fast through the Park. To truly enjoy Yellowstone is to spend time enjoying her beauty and wonders. Hopefully many new visitors to the Park will do just this during the coming Memorial Day weekend. BACK TO TOP .
