Animal Viewing
Viewing animals in Yellowstone National
Park is as simple as driving on any park
road, especially to view bison or buffalo.
Although the buffalo and all other animals in
Yellowstone National Park are wild, they
seem unafraid of humans and the buffalo
almost contemptuous of automobiles and
humans. They will cross the road at will.
During the August rut, the buffalo become
aggressive toward one another as they
compete for females.

In the Bridge Bay area, a good viewing
road for elk, grizzly and wolf would be the
road beside the river and the pullouts
overlooking the Hayden Valley, half-way
between the Fishing Bridge and the
Canyon Village.
A good spot for buffalo is Indian Pond on
the northeast side of Yellowstone Lake.

The elk are not as bold as the buffalo
but they will tolerate people and at
times a herd will move right through a
campsite.
They are commonly seen in herds
along the Hayden Valley.

Yellowstone National Park is in reality a volcano, or more accurately, the sunken caldera of an ancient
volcano that last erupted 640,000 years ago. The caldera, 30 miles wide by 45 ;miles long in a roughly
oval shape, encompasses Yellowstone Lake, the largest lake in North America over 7000 feet elevation.
With depths of 430 feet, the lake has over 140 miles of shore. Yellowstone Lake empties into the
Yellowstone River, a course that conveys the lake water through Yellowstone's Grand Canyon to the
Missouri and Mississippi Rivers and eventually to the Gulf of Mexico.
Along the river in the Hayden Valley and the Lamar valley there are turnouts that make good viewing
places for predatory animals such as wolf and grizzly.
