Camping in Yellowstone

For bicyclists who want to camp, they can only camp in the developed campgrounds in the park. You can reserve campsites or get them on a first-come, first-served basis. At all the park's campgrounds, there are only a limited number of campsites kept for hikers and bicyclists. If you are traveling with a group of other bicyclists, call Xanterra Parks and resorts before you arrive at the park to see if there are group campsites available for you.

Road Condition Advisory

Take a look at the map to know about the road conditions. The roads shown in red on the map are narrow and not so smooth without road shoulders. The roads shown in yellow have better road shoulders and are more suited to bicycle riding. From June to September, traffic flow is heaviest from mid-morning to late afternoon every day. Plan your trip well to stay away from these busy traffic times and the roads that are used a lot.

Bicycling Routes

Several rocky roads are open to BOTH bicycle and cars. The Old Gardiner Road and Blacktail Plateau Drive allow two-way bike traffic and one-way cars. These roads are the best for mountain bikes. The following routes, however, are only for bicycles and people walking.

On Sept 6, James was chosen into the Basketball Hall of Fame alongside members of the Redeem Team. The basketball superstar, who started his NBA journey in 2003, is set to become the first player to complete 23 seasons in the NBA. Even after turning 40 in December 2024, he is still at the top of his game.

James' new coach, JJ Redick, believes that one of the secrets to James' lasting success is his winning attitude, reflected in his disciplined daily routine. This includes arriving early at the gym, going through a detailed pre-game program and post-game recovery process. Even now, James continues to work on specific areas of his game each offseason. "It's just about sharpening my basic skills in my game at this point— make sure my skills are ready for whatever it demands," James told BasketballNews.

Having become the NBA's most senior player in the 2023-24 season, James often competes with young players who grew up watching his games. He hopes that he is able to offer them inspiration along his journey. Since 2005, he has traveled throughout China during his offseason, sharing his basketball experiences with young players. This September, James returned to China for the 15th time to meet and inspire young fans. "To have the opportunity to share the game with fans and connect with athletes all over the world means a lot to me," James said in an interview.

However, the lifestyle programs the AAP recommends are expensive, unsuitable for most children and hard to keep up. Few weight-loss drugs have been applied to children. And operations have potential risks and little long-term safety data. Moreover, it's not clear whether these actions for youngsters help to improve health or only add to the psychological（心理的） stress overweight kids face from the society.

Rather than paying close attention to numbers on a scale, the U. S. and countries with similar situations should focus on a key truth: we need to spend more on creating more and safer places for children where they can move and run around, climb and jump, ride and skate.

Why is it so hard to get kids moving? Experts think the problem on the privatization of sports—as public investment in school-based athletics reduces, expensive private leagues have grown, leaving many kids out. In addition to fewer opportunities at school, researchers point out that kids spend more time on screens and there aren't enough safe places for them to play outside the home. New York City, for example, had 2,067 public playgrounds as of 2019—a very small amount for its large population. In Los Angeles in 2015, only 33 percent of youth lived within walking distance of a park.

Kids everywhere need more places to play. Public money for building and keeping up these areas is of great importance, but other choices such as shared-use agreements can enable the public to use unused spaces. These opportunities aren't mainly about changing children's waist size; they' re about keeping childhood healthy and fun.

"All of us would like to think that we are open to interact with others who disagree and that we are somewhat good at it when we do," said R. Lanier Anderson, professor of philosophy in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. "But the times are teaching us that we all have room for improvement."

Participants and facilitators were chosen from a large pool of applicants. Eleven facilitators then led groups of about seven students. Many of the facilitators had some background in ethics（伦理学）, and all received additional training on how to lead conversations on difficult problems.

The things that students learned in the program included ways to listen carefully and how to use what they learned to deal with some clearly stated but debatable issues. Each group studied four different cases. Then the students thought about their own ideas and also those of others on problems like how social media should be controlled.

Among the program facilitators were Ursula Neuner and Sophia Pribus. Both said that they asked participants to put themselves in different positions when thinking about the case studies. This could help the students understand why people might have different opinions on problems because of their different experiences. Another way was to look at general values to find something that everyone could agree on, so as to deal with the disagreements about specific things.

The new Stanford students quickly were interested in the ways of having conversations that they learned in the course. The facilitators said that although there were a lot of different opinions, the students could still find things that they agreed on, even while keeping their own different views.

Both facilitators said if the program continues to be offered in future years, it will create a growing network of students who can help guide open and thoughtful conversations between classmates even when participants' sources and values differ.

I would be anxious for the big days until I arrived at my chosen spot, thinking that reaching it was the main goal. But as I traveled more, my view began to change. I started to dive deeper into what each place had to offer. I learned to appreciate the local culture, meet the people, and engage in unique experiences.

I remember one night when we decided to take a trip that involved a four-hour drive. After two hours of driving, I was feeling tired. We decided to stop for tea to take a break. As the sun began to set, I looked around and was struck by the golden light shining on the mountains. So I took my time enjoying my tea and the view.

Suddenly, someone urged us to hurry up. One fellow traveler quickly jumped back into the car without taking a moment to appreciate the scenery. While I was enjoying the journey and the beauty around us, he was focused solely on reaching our endpoint.

This experience taught me that travel and life are not just about getting to a destination. Each experience enriches our lives. When we allow ourselves to embrace the journey, we open the door to new opportunities and unforgettable memories.

Jason could almost hear the sound of baseballs dropping into gloves as he3 warming up with his teammates. As usual, he was playful, going through the warm-up exercises at half-speed,4 by making catches behind his back. He liked to show everyone how skilled he was, even during practice.

"Stop it, Jason," Coach Fowler5, seeing that Jason wasn't taking the warm-up seriously.

In 2024, Tian Bridge International (TBI) in Hangzhou introduced a hands-on course on West Lake. Held after the June-July final exams, the course gave students a chance (show) their creativity.

The idea behind the course is to promote West Lake culture help students gain a deeper understanding of it. Working with teachers, students spend three days (bring) their projects to life. In its first run last year, the event encouraged students to use AI to design cultural products inspired by West Lake. Relying on their (impression) of the lake, they created items such as oil-paper umbrellas and phone cases.

This year, students took their creativity a step (far) by directing a short film based on classic story of the White Snake. In the story, Bai Suzhen travels to modern-day Hangzhou, she sees the effects of environmental pollution, and joins a livestream (直播) to call on people to protect West Lake.

"West Lake is special to us... Let us rediscover our respect and love for it," students reflected at the end of the film. mixing modern concerns with traditional characters, they showed both creativity and care for West Lake.

"Next year, we plan to encourage students to tailor travel plans for tourist groups along West Lake," Xie said. "To make the project run smoothly, we've finalized the first group of participants — many students (join) us in this project next month, and we've already scheduled their first brainstorming session. So we're making the course even more practical and (enjoy)."
