THE SEASONS OF YELLOWSTONE





Spring in Yellowstone National Park brings new life.  Not only do the grasses and wildflowers show their colors and brighten up the landscape in the Park, but Spring hails the arrival of the young park critters.

If you have never seen a baby bison then you probably do not know that they are almost orange in color from birth through the first few weeks of their life.

Shortly after the baby bison make their appearance, we will  see the baby elk begin to arrive.

We rarely, if ever, get to see a baby moose as they are quite solitary creatures and tend to shy away from humans.

The baby wolves are rarely seen by humans.  Only the lucky few get to see them and that is generally accomplished with the aid of a high powered scope.

Depending on how difficult the winter was and how abundant the food supply was before they went into hibernation, we will probably get to see some mothers and their bear cubs.

That is the beauty of traveling in the park.  One just never knows what they are going to see.
