Me ʻEkolu Komo ʻana, ʻo Montana ka wahi kūpono no ka ʻike ʻana i ka paka

Aia ma Montana, Idaho a me Wyoming, ʻo Yellowstone National Park - ka paka aupuni mua o ka honua - e hoʻolauleʻa nei i kāna makahiki 150 i kēia makahiki. Ma kahi o 2.2 miliona mau ʻeka, aia ʻekolu o nā puka komo ʻelima o Montana i ka paka, me ka puka komo wale nō e hiki ai i nā kaʻa holo kaʻa holoʻokoʻa ma o Gardiner.

I ka makahiki 2021, ua hoʻokipa ʻo Yellowstone National Park i ka 4.86 miliona mau malihini kipa a ʻo 2022 ke hoʻomaka nei e lilo i makahiki paʻahana ʻē aʻe i ka wā e hoʻolauleʻa ai nā malihini i kekahi o nā wahi kūikawā o ka honua. A ʻoiai e kipa nui ana ka poʻe i ka paka i kēia kauwela, eia nā ala maikaʻi loa e ʻike ai me ka ʻole o ka lehulehu.

Pono ka manawa. ʻAʻohe mea i kou wā e kipa aku ai i kēia kauwela, ʻike paha ʻoe i ka lehulehu o ka poʻe inā hele ʻoe i ka lā. E hoʻokaʻawale i kāu huakaʻi no laila e ala koke ʻoe e hopu i ka mahu e piʻi aʻe ana ma Grand Prismatic Spring, e nānā iā Old Faithfulerupt ma hope o ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā a hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka ʻike kūʻē i ka lani i piha i ka hōkū a i ʻole e ala aʻe me ka lā e nānā i kona mau kukuna i hohola ʻia ma luna. Nā ʻāina like ʻole o Yellowstone.
Hike it Out. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā malihini i ka Yellowstone National Park e pili ana i nā alanui. Inā makemake ʻoe e haʻalele i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe, pono ʻoe e pā i ke ala. Me 900 mau mile o nā alahele ma ka paka, nui nā mea e koho ai. E hoʻomanaʻo e hele mau ʻoe me kahi hoaaloha, e mākaukau, e lawe (a ʻike i ka hoʻohana ʻana) i ka pipi bear a hāʻawi i nā holoholona hihiu i kahi ākea ākea.
Hele me ke alakai. ʻOiai hiki iā ʻoe ke kipa i ka paka ma kāu iho, ʻo kekahi o nā ala maikaʻi loa e loaʻa ai kahi ʻike hohonu e hele pū me kahi alakaʻi a i ʻole mea lole ma ka holo lio a i ʻole llama trek. Aia kekahi mau alakaʻi akamai e hāʻawi i nā hana e like me ka backpacking, ke kaʻa kaʻa, ka lawaiʻa a me ke kiʻi, a me nā huakaʻi ma ke alanui.

A ʻoiai e noho mau ana ʻo Yellowstone National Park i kahi papa inoa bakeke, nui nā mea e ʻike a hana ai ma waho o nā palena o ka paka. Hiki i nā malihini ke puka maʻalahi i kekahi o nā puka komo ʻekolu o ka paka ma Montana i ko lākou ala i nā huakaʻi ʻē aʻe, e like me:

Ke kalaiwa ana i ke Alanui Beartooth. He mea kupanaha i loko a nona iho, ʻo ke Alanui Beartooth he National Scenic Byway e ulana ana ma Montana a me Wyoming a hiki ke loaʻa ma ka puka ʻana i ka puka komo ʻākau o Yellowstone. ʻO ke ala he 68 mau mile mai Cooke City, Montana a hiki i Red Lodge, Montana, a hāʻawi i kona poʻe kaʻa i nā hiʻohiʻona a me ke komo ʻana i nā loko alpine kiʻekiʻe a me nā alahele ma nā mauna ʻo Beartooth.
E kipa i Red Lodge. Hoʻopuni ʻia e nā mauna Beartooth a me Absaroka, ʻo Red Lodge kekahi o nā kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi maikaʻi loa o Montana. Me kahi kūlanakauhale kaulana a hiki ke hele wāwae, ʻo Red Lodge kahi wahi e kau ai i kāu papa inoa e kipa aku ai. He wahi hoʻomaka ia no ka leʻaleʻa o waho a me nā hana hoʻohiwahiwa, e like me ka holo wāwae, ka holo lio a me nā huakaʻi kahawai.
Kaahele Gardiner. ʻO nā ʻanuʻu mai ka puka ʻākau o ka paka ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Gardiner. ʻO ka home ma lalo o 900 mau kānaka noho, i ke kauwela e lele nei kēia kaiāulu. Mai ʻAukake 23 - 28, e hōʻike ʻia ana kekahi mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo ma ka papahana kauhale ʻo tipi ma ka Roosevelt Arch mōʻaukala. Hiki iā ʻoe ke lawaiʻa, ka lāʻau a me ka lana ʻana me kekahi mau mea lole kūloko ma Gardiner, a me ka hoʻoulu ʻana i nā pūnāwai wela kokoke i Paradise Valley.
E hele i loko o ka mōʻaukala Montana. ʻO nā malihini e hoʻokumu i kā lākou huakaʻi ma West Yellowstone (a i ʻole e haʻalele i ka paka ma kona puka komo komohana) aia ma lalo o 90 mau minuke mai Virginia City a me Nevada City, ʻelua o nā kūlanakauhale ʻuhane i mālama maikaʻi ʻia ma ka ʻāina. I ke kau kauwela (Memorial Day - September), hiki i nā malihini ke hele i nā mākaʻikaʻi mōʻaukala, e nānā i nā hale kūʻai kūloko a me nā saloons, e noho i ka pō i kahi waiwai mōʻaukala, pan no ke gula a i ʻole ka huakaʻi ma ka stagecoach.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

While you can visit the park on your own, one of the best ways to have a deeper experience is to go with a guide or outfitter on a horseback ride or llama trek.
Time your trip so you’re up early to catch the rising steam at Grand Prismatic Spring, watch Old Faithfulerupt after the sun goes down and soak in the experience against a star-filled sky or get up with the sun to watch its rays spread over Yellowstone’s diverse landscapes.
And while people will be visiting the park en masse this summer, here are the best ways to experience it without the masses.
