While the others listing national parks are good, I would wait on them until your prospective reader said they liked these three ones, as at lot of the other parks are shorter (mainly due to the lack of deaths in a lot of these parks) and don't quite have that same pulp-novel quality feel to them.\r\n\r\nThe others in the series, by various different authors and in no particular order, include:\r\n\r\n-[Death in Glacier National Park](https://www.amazon.com/Death-Glacier-National-Park-Foolhardiness/dp/1493024000)\r\n-[Death in Zion National Park](https://www.amazon.com/Death-Zion-National-Park-Foolhardiness/dp/1493028936)\r\n-[Death in the Great Smokey Mountains](https://www.amazon.com/Death-Great-Smoky-Mountains-Foolhardiness/dp/1493023756)\r\n-[Death in Rocky Mountain National Park](https://www.amazon.com/Death-Rocky-Mountain-National-Park-ebook/dp/B084LTM2KV)\r\n-[Death in Big Bend](https://www.amazon.com/Death-Big-Bend-Laurence-Parent/dp/0974504874)\r\n-[Death in Acadia National Park](https://www.amazon.com/Death-Acadia-Misadventures-National-Earthling-ebook/dp/B07Q39LCYJ/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1667603416\u0026amp;sr=1-1)\r\n-[Death in Mount Rainier National Park](https://www.amazon.com/Death-Mount-Rainier-National-Park-ebook/dp/B07FRY555V/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3UEAFI42944H0\u0026amp;keywords=Death+in+Mountain+Rainier\u0026amp;qid=1667603475\u0026amp;qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjA3IiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D\u0026amp;s=digital-text\u0026amp;sprefix=death+in+mountain+rainier%2Cdigital-text%2C97\u0026amp;sr=1-1)\r\n\r\nIt's a pretty niche subject, but morbidly fascinating in a way.

The first generations of NeoAir mattresses sounded pretty crunchy and they got that reputation, but the current ones aren't really that bad. The Nemo isn't silent either, though it is admittedly less noisy. The most quiet pads are by Exped, and the slightly wider side rails make for a very comfortable, cradling effect. \r\n\r\nIn any case, do stick with an insulated pad; the Yellowstone Ecosystem gets cold at night, even in summer, and warmth under you is very helpful. Since you are interested in long / wide pads, here's a [list of pads biased towards warmth and comfort](https://www.lighterpack.com/r/8i0mbr). They can be worth every ounce. I always say that sleep deprivation weighs a lot. \r\n\r\nIf you can keep the rest of your gear under control, going to a lighter backpack may be possible. The Gossamer Gear Mariposa or Gorilla are both very popular for good reasons; good load control if you happen to be packing more food or hiking in colder weather, extremely comfortable, and you can easily strip them down to a frameless pack without hipbelt that comes in at a respectable UL weight. \r\n\r\nLife in the Northern Rockies will expose you to unpredictable weather. It can snow in Yellowstone on any day of the year, and nights at higher elevation are always cool to cold -- and the park ranges from 5,282 to 11,367 feet. But the stars on a moonless night will completely blow you away. \r\n\r\nMake sure you get your food preparation and storage discipline down; this is Grizzly Country and we do not take it lightly. Use the Triangle. [Learn about Grizzly behavior](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PExlT-5VU-Y). \r\n\r\nAlso, take a side trip into the Beartooths. It's worth it. \r\n\r\nExcellent reading material: \r\n\r\n* [Death in Yellowstone: Accidents and Foolhardiness in the First National Park](https://www.amazon.com/Death-Yellowstone-Accidents-Foolhardiness-National/dp/1570984506)\r\n* [Hawks Rest: A Season in the Remote Heart of Yellowstone](https://www.amazon.com/Hawks-Rest-Season-Remote-Yellowstone/dp/0792268911)\r\n* [Mountain Spirit: The Sheep Eater Indians of Yellowstone](https://www.amazon.com/Mountain-Spirit-Sheep-Indians-Yellowstone/dp/0874808677)\r\n* Hiking [Yellowstone](https://www.amazon.com/Hiking-Yellowstone-National-Park-Regional/dp/1493038710) /  [Tetons](https://www.amazon.com/Hiking-Grand-Teton-National-Park/dp/1493030035) / [Beartooths](https://www.amazon.com/Hiking-Absaroka-Beartooth-Wilderness-Regional/dp/1493005944)\r\n* [Ultralight Backpackin' Tips](https://www.amazon.com/Ultralight-Backpackin-Tips-Inexpensive-Lightweight/dp/0762763841)\r\n\r\nAnd then please post some Yellowstone stories for us here this summer.","subreddit_name":"Ultralight","author":"mt_sage"},{"body":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/1570984506\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1471160785","subreddit_name":"yellowstone","author":"runningoutofwords"}]}
