Stay on the Trail (1/10/2015)

This little adventure was in the middle of our walk on the Upper Geyser Basin Trail. We're just hiking along, enjoying the scenery, when Rodney looks at some footprints in the snow. He looks to see where they lead and suddenly, notices what had made the tracks. Do you see it?

Look a little closer.


That's a 2,000 pound bison less than 100 feet from us. They can tell the humans to stay on the trail, but the bison can go wherever they want. It's just sitting quietly in the snow, chewing its cud, going nowhere and saving energy. Yep. We are definitely in Yellowstone.
