FEATURED TRIPS

LeHardy's Rapids & Yellowstone Lake

JUST ADDED! Visit LeHardy's Rapids -- the geologic boundary of Yellowstone Lake where the Yellowstone River bed drops to create impressive white water, especially during spring runoff. If lucky, we'll see some of Yellowstone's rare Harlequin ducks. We'll also discuss efforts to restore native Yellowstone cutthroat trout to Yellowstone Lake, the largest lake at high elevation in North America.

Update: 15 Harlequin ducks spotted at LeHardy's Rapids this past weekend!
