Seeing yellowstone on foot?
I've been reading the past threads on Yellowstone here, and people keep talking about long scenic drives. But I don't like to do that -- I like to drive to where I am camping, and then leave the van at the campsite for however many days I am there, with awning out and all, and do my sightseeing on foot.
Can I do that at Yellowstone? I made reservations for a week each at Grant and Canyon, based on reading the threads here. But are those too close together? What can I do/see from each base? My trip is far enough in the future that I can probably move reservations if you folks think I oughta.
I realise there may be a shuttle bus, but I prefer to avoid those, too :). On the plus side, I don't mind missing some 'important sights' -- just being in a beautiful place is good.
And are the buffalo going to gore me if I am not in a vehicle? I will keep my distance, of course, but if they are on the road and headed my way...
