Stream Crossings Details

Very few of Yellowstone's many streams have bridges, and many are not crossable until mid July. Water levels can rise rapidly during snowmelt and rainstorms, and can make crossing both difficult and dangerous. Look up and downstream for alternative places to cross, and use long, study sticks for a better footing while crossing. Undo chest and waist straps from packs to avoid being dragged down or trapped during falls. Do not attempt to ford streams if they appear dangerous.
