Sept 29, Canyon Wolf Pack Sighted


Today we spotted the alpha female of the Canyon wolf pack in the Hayden Valley. You meet the most interesting people when you watch for wolves, they come from near and far, and live for the moment to watch a wolf cross an open valley nearly a mile away. They are generous, more than willing to share a look through their high powered spotting scopes. For some its an addiction, they come every year - but you can't blame them - its amazing to watch the wolves and to see Yellowstone returned to it's complete self.





There have been lots of other animals we've sighted, several black bears, coyotes, elk and bison by the herd. Today we heard about a Grizzly that came out behind a bunch of photographers who nearly missed the chance to photograph him.




Volcanic activity permeates Yellowstone ... geysers, hot springs, vents.
Bison rule the roads ... you have to yield to them, unless you want your car full of dents.
Mammoth Hot Springs with its own herd of elk ... no they are not tame.
