Backpackers can be equally obnoxious and ignorant. "Please step up off the trail and stand still till I get my pack string past." No! It's my trail too. "Well, okay. But these animals tend to freak out going around strange critters with bright colored bundles strapped on top. Don't cry to me if you get your teeth kicked loose!" That usually gets them moving. Still, I was always surprised at the number of backpackers who were actually savy to it and would get well off the trail when they heard the cowbell coming. But that was a long time ago when most of the people living in Montana were born there.I know a couple of easy ways into yellowstone via horseback that avoids 95% of the crowd of obnoxious tourist. I have a senior pass so they don't loose many $.What I find annoying is the USFS and parks in general crowd bicycles and equestrians onto the same trails and they dont mix well at all. QUADS are a whole issue by themselves they are very destructive to land and they are rude, not anyone here youknow but ...
