It's not been a good month to be a bear in Yellowstone National Park, as the third fatality was registered today after rangers took down an adult female who had grown a little too comfortable with people -- to the point where she was tearing into tents and approaching hikers.

While you can expect some huge crowds in Yellowstone National Park this weekend -- especially in the Old Faithful area -- it looks like access to and from the major geyser areas will be clear.

One rule of living in a northern clime: you never know what will turn up in the yard when the snow melts. That was especially true for researcher Craig Lee, who found a 10,000-year-old weapon after glaciers melted close to Yellowstone National Park.

For the second time this month, a hit-and-run driver has claimed the life of a Yellowstone bear, as the body of a cinnamon-colored female adult black bear was found in a ditch along the Grand Loop Road, east of the entrance to Blacktail Plateau Drive, about halfway between Mammoth Hot Springs and Tower Junction.
