Tourons

Time and time again the story comes out that some "poor visitor" of Yellowstone gets hurt by the wildlife and we all know that it isn't true.

The term "Touron" isn't new when it comes to describing tourists that come to Wyoming, but how can visitors avoid getting that title?

A couple was recently filmed appearing to be running from a large bison herd. What comes to question though, is why were they actually running "with" the massive animals?

If you visit Yellowstone National Park now, you'll find feeding bears solidly in the "don't" column. But, there was an era many years ago when people were not only allowed to feed bears in Yellowstone, the practice was sort of encouraged.

If a bison is displeased with you, it's not hard to tell. One tourist family learned this as they got too close to a bison calf and the elders let them know to back off.

This is why we can't have nice things. There's new video showing a large group of people who got way too close to a grizzly mom and 4 cubs.

Yellowstone National Park is one of Wyoming's treasures. Millions of people from all over the world have come to Wyoming to enjoy the park. Many of these visitors arrive and enjoy without any incident. However in every bunch, there are a few bad apples.

Wyoming attracts some of the worst tourons on the planet. This meme is for each and every one of them.

Yellowstone National Park sees hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. Every single year there are dozens of instances from tourists (or 'tourons' as they have come to be known by) behaving badly and/or carelessly - resulting in injury. We have to do something to prepare folks for visiting the park. I present the Yellowstone National Park Tourist Survival Kit.

Though this video is short it is a very clear video of a Mamma bear and her cubs out in their environment and the mamma is showing off her agility by standing up and checking the route ahead.

Colorado and Wyoming have a lot of things in common especially when it comes to our wildlife and the types of people who come to check it out and enjoy nature. WARNING, you will see some tourons in this video. Luckily only the truck was injured.
