Customer Reviews
One of Yellowstone's best backpacking routes. Backcountry site 1Y1, further down the trail, is excellent and the best site downstream of Blacktail bridge. While the specific 1Y1 site isn't marked here on Google Maps, you can see the 1Y1 spur trail for it's location. From satellite view, a black sand beach and the turn in the river make it easy to identify. 1Y1 has an NPS bear box and is worth the extra miles.
Beautiful, has everything for a great vacation
