We will depart your accommodations and head towards Yellowstone’s northern range, undoubtedly one of the prime wildlife viewing spots in the world, it harbors impressive bison herds, wolf packs, and meandering bears. Visitors are likely to depart from the park’s northern lands with at least one, if not more, checks on their wildlife card. Wild and pristine. When thinking about Yellowstone, a vast and amazing back-country, large carnivores, bison herds, iconic geysers, and geothermal features fill the imagination.

 

Spring in Yellowstone is the best time of the season to view the parks population of grizzly bears and wolves intermingling/ fighting for dominance on a landscape that’s coming back to life after a long harsh winter. Our tour will focus on Yellowstone’s northern range, undoubtedly one of the prime wildlife viewing spots in North America as it harbors impressive bison/ elk herds, wolf packs, moose, and meandering grizzly and black bears.

 

In late March Yellowstone starts to comes to life as the temperature gets warmer, the snow starts to melt. green grass starts to grow, elk and bison are giving give birth to off spring, hungry and therefore aggressive grizzly bears are waking up from hibernation, and the parks wolf packs are hunting elk/ bison calves to feed to the their litter pups.

It is not uncommon during this time of year to view wolves hunting bison calves then a hungry grizzly bears charges in to attempt to steal the carcass from the wolves. Its surely a sight to be seen!
