Wildlife
Spring is your time for wildlife watching! The snow is finally melting, making way for green sprouts of grass as babies of every species begin to make their arrival. You'll look for bear cubs, wolf pups, bison calves, elk calves, bighorn lambs, and lots of young birds. You'll use spotting scopes and binoculars and take short walks to better vantage points. You'll also talk about why species choose certain birthing grounds and how they protect and raise their young. You'll be outside from before dawn throughout the day to after sundown, with plenty of free time to enjoy all aspects of Yellowstone's vibrant spring.
