The wild life

Last year we saw a moose in Newfoundland. There is a post here about it in fact. We were hoping this trip to see a moose in Yellowstone. Alas, no moose were spotted. However, what we did see was nothing short of thrilling.






We saw tons of bison (even calves) and occasionally even shared the road with them, we saw more elk, deer and antelope. We did see a couple of black bears, and more grizzly bears. The highlight of all of our wildlife viewing had to be when we came up on a mother grizzly bear and her two young cubs.



The best places for viewing wildlife are the Hayden Valley and the Lamar Valley. Both of these boast vistas that are among the most beautiful I have ever seen.


In the Lamar Valley we even saw some coyotes. On Thursday we drove through these valleys with our niece and nephew in the back seat and as fun as it was to see the bison, elk and bears, the best part was seeing them with family.
