That Was So Much Fun, Let's Do It Again!

Our trip into Yellowstone was incredible. So much so, that after our return home on the 10th, we made a reservation for the nights of the 14th & 15th in Gardiner and planned to head back into the Park.

But, first this is what was happening in Wilson . . .

The Wild Wall in the backyard is becoming a popular place!

Elk were beginning to show up down behind the house . . .

And we spotted a beaver in Spring Creek 1, from our hot tub.

Heck, the wildlife was even starting to return to our yard!

But, Yellowstone was calling, and we had to go. Even if it was hailing!

Lewis Canyon

A frozen Lake Yellowstone -

Meanwhile, the cameras back at Moose Point Lodge were working overtime!

Now, where were we? Ah, yes. Heading back into Yellowstone.

A bison jam -

Heading toward Mammoth Hot Springs -

Big Horn Sheep Ewes -

We spent a little time watching the bison -

Then, something amazing happened. We came across a mama grizzly bear and her two cubs.

Don took these shots of the cubs wrestling, on his iPhone.

This little one chased a bird -

And caught it!

This little one nursed while the other ate his catch.

Mama bear came to see what the little cub was eating.

Apparently, she didn't want any, but she didn't disapprove.

Trifecta! Grizzly bears, pronghorn & bison!

Yoga Bear -

This bear cub picked up a stick and played with it.

We left the bears and spotted more bison.

Further up the road, we spotted a pack of wolves taunting a couple bison -

A fox that caught a grouse -

And wolves that had taken down a bison calf. The mama bison kept approaching the wolves in an attempt to drive them off of her calf. It was too late. And, it was heart wrenching.
