Getting Yellowstone campsites and trails into Google Earth


I posted this a few years ago, I think, but it's worth posting again. 

** You have about six weeks to get your campsite requests in. See the backcountry planner page for more info. ****

As you plan your summer adventures, dreaming about the campsites and the trails and all the great places to see in Yellowstone National Park, a standard topo map is great. But Google Earth gives you some great information, too.

The Yellowstone Ecology website has the Google Earth files for campsites and trails. Download those files, then double-click on them, and the trails and campsites open up in Google Earth. Very nice!
