Yellowstone National Park

We rerouted just a bit to make a pass through Yellowstone.  It has been a great visit so far.  With the snow just leaving, the mega fauna are out and about noshing on whatever new green has come up.  A mama grizzly led her triplets out for all to see.Grizzly n cubs Comp_2522  Two black bears and a lone grizzly were out munching along the hillside.  Elk are everywhere; sometimes solo and sometimes in herds of at least one hundred.  They are just starting to loose their shaggy winter coats so some look pretty scruffy. Buffalo, brown rocks, dot every open valley.  The calves are red and easy to spot.  They are quite persistent pestering mama to get her to stand up so they can nurse.  We even saw mountain goats.  Tomorrow, the search is on for the wolves and moose.  That’s if we don’t get snowed in or frozen out.  It is dipping to 25 or so tonight.  Oh, goody!
