TrailBlazingTom+Followwhere do bison and wolves actually hang out in yellowstone?just came back from a tiny group trip to yellowstone and omg, we got so lucky 🍀 our guide tweaked the plan so we could chase wildlife — and it worked! Lamar Valley: 🐂 This place was a bison paradise! We saw so many, some even had their little calves. The wolves were a bit more elusive, but we caught a glimpse of a few roaming in the distance. 🌅 Best times: Early morning and sunset. The animals are most active then! Old Faithful Area: 🐿️ Squirrels were everywhere, and we spotted some peaceful deer munching grass near the trees. 🕒 Best times: Any time of day, but mornings and afternoons have the most action. Yellowstone Lake: 🦦 Beavers were so fun to watch as they chewed on logs by the water. Plus, there were tons of birds flying around — totally mesmerizing. 🌄 Best times: Morning and afternoon for birdwatching, evening for beavers. Grand Canyon of Yellowstone: 🐏 Big horn sheep were hopping around the cliffs, and we saw eagles soaring above. 🏞️ Best times: Early morning for the sheep and afternoon for the eagles. #yellowstone #wildlife #traveladventure20Share
