It is very hot on the mountain in summer and it is barren with no shade or trees. I remember seeing people climbing up with no water wearing flip flops on their feet, no sunscreen or hats.

I’m sure they are still enjoying their picnic baskets!

Yes, they are horrible people. The show was well enough put together that I kept watching, though I did feel guilty about it.

The regional airport is PIH (Pocatello). It is 7 miles west of the I-15/I-86 interchange. Sky West. There is nothing in Inkom. It would be a very dangerous place to attempt placing an airstrip. Narrow valley with steep mountains.

I don't lose sleep over Yellowstone. If it goes, we are all screwed. Until that happens, I just get up each day and live a normal life. Maintaining a good immune system to dodge the daily threat of COVID is a more tangible threat. I just helped my wife with a COVID test. She's feeling crappy this morning. Switching shifts today from the 7 AM - 7 PM (Sun/Mon/Tue) 7 AM - 1 PM Wed to graveyard Tu/Wed/Th 9 PM - 7 AM, Fri 5 PM - 3 AM. Both times when she caught COVID at the office, it was shared with me at home. Hoping we aren't doing that again.

I was kind of kidding about Inkom except I did read it has the “smallest airport in the world”.

Just stick a tap in the damned thing, and store it. Balloons for the kiddies. Sound effects for cartoons. Zeppelins borne aloft by real green energy in plentiful supply. What are all these greenies waiting for? Get a pipeline started already. And you’ll be venting off a dangerous accumulation of gas, too. Yogi and Booboo with thank you. And as for Ranger Smith, he’ll benefit, too, but who cares about that jive, racist Mofo.

Ok, I found it. Skyline Airport or Simko Field. A little SE of Inkom town. There is a jet symbol on Google Earth lol

I was just talking to a friend who has never been to Yellowstone. After your recommendation I suggested she visit the Lassen volcanic area if she can’t make it to Jellystone (she drives back and forth to CA like you do). I will as well. I have been fortunate as a non-affluent person to have visited Yellowstone and the geothermal area in New Zealand (Rotarua - North Island) and also Iceland (near Reykjavík but pretty much all of Iceland is a geothermal park). And I saw a steam vents on Mt. Baker near Bellingham and maybe Mt. Rainier as a kid (memory is hazy on Rainier, maybe not).

I can see the Lassen Peak trail very clearly on aerial images. Yeah, it’s real exposed!

It would be good for rough field touch and goes practice (real rough).

Perhaps an AV-8 Harrier could land on that short strip. Looks more suitable for a Piper Cub piloted by someone with a finely honed set of skills for short takeoff/landing.

Yup. No thanks. I came very close to a touch down in a farmer's field when doing my flight training. My instructor was sort of playing chicken with me. My wheels kissed the tumbleweeds before he reached over and shoved the throttle to the wall. When I did my check ride, the FAA examiner pulled a last minute "short field landing...on the numbers". I did exactly that and we taxied back to the FBO where he signed me off.

Yeah, I had a sudden crosswind on a rough-field landing that put me close to the tumbleweeds also.

What was your primary flight training aircraft? I was in rented Beechcraft Skipper Model 77. I really liked that plane. The almost tumbleweed landing was in my own PA-22/108.
