Grand Loop Road

Number two, Stuart Isaac.

48-year-old Stuart Isaac was last seen in mid-September 2010 when he parked his black 2009 Lexus IS250 sedan at Craig Pass, eight miles east of the old fateful geyser on Yellowstone National Park's Grand Loop Road in Wyoming.

Craig Pass is an elevation of 8,262 feet and is a mountain pass located on the Continental Divide.

The small Issa Lake is located just west of the pass on Grand Loop Road and is noted for striding the Continental Divide and draining into two different

watersheds,

the Atlantic via the Missouri River and the Pacific via the Snake River.

Stewart's car was found abandoned during a routine patrol of the parking area on the evening of September 26th by the National Park Service.

A search was started immediately, but repeated ground and air searches failed to find any clues or any sign of Stewart.

Whichever one you sink your teeth into, they all say the same thing.

With a 142-mile-long Grand Loop Road forming its figure eight through over 2.2 million acres of wilderness, most people spend days in the park but stop only in parking areas and stroll the boardwalks.

In other words, they see the wild world through a controlled environment of placards and walkways and safety rails.

There's nothing wrong with being safe.

My random Yellowstone fact of the week, the Howard Eaton Trail.

If you've ever driven Yellowstone's Grand Loop Road, stopped to watch a geyser erupt and thought, I'd love to see more of this place without all the traffic or the cars or the pavement, you're thinking along the same lines as people who helped create the Howard Eaton Trail more than a century ago.

The trail was born during a period when Yellowstone was transforming from a remote wilderness destination into one of America's most celebrated tourist attractions.

It offered visitors a way to experience the park on foot or horseback, away from the stagecoaches and then the busy roads with cars.

This trail offered visitors a way to travel between familiar landmarks without relying entirely on cars.

The timing of when this trail was, um, opened was important.

Yellowstone's Grand Loop Road had largely been developed for stagecoaches and wagons by 1905, and cars were authorized in the park in 1915.

As car tourism expanded, the park faced a challenge.
