HOLD ON! Google Earth Satellite Removed, Yellowstone, Grand Teton Trails Closed WTH!

25 May 15

OK, rock and mud slides, quakes, popular trails getting closed, magma intrusion, mysterious “officials” at Yellowstone at night in hazmat suits. Now Google Earth image has been removed from these areas . And yet, there is nothing to be concerned about? HA! Wyoming residents, please be sure you have emergency supplies updated. (as everyone should, we never know)

Two of the most heavily traveled day-hiking routes in Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks are closed for the time being.

In Grand Teton the trail beyond Hidden Falls to Inspiration Point is being rerouted and has closed as trail crews work to replace bridges over Cascade Creek and rebuild the rocky ledge trails and steps that lead up to the popular Jenny Lake overlook.

In Yellowstone the iconic Brink of the Lower Falls trail is closed in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone because of a mud and rock slide that deposited a 7-by-8-foot boulder atop the route, effectively blocking the path.

Recent rains have delayed efforts to remove the enormous rock, Yellowstone spokeswoman Traci Weaver said Thursday.

“It’s closed until further notice,” she said, “until we get a drying trend and are able to get in there and deal with it.”
