Yellowstone vacations are a great way to observe wildlife up close. If you choose to drive through the park you might miss some of the smaller animals that call Yellowstone National Park home. But a drive through the park just might be the best way to see some of the larger mammals almost any time of the day or year.
Seeing a bear is a thrilling experience people taking Yellowstone vacations never forget. Both grizzly bears and black bears live in Yellowstone National Park. If you are not familiar with the different species of bears, a field guide or one of the excellent park publications can be very helpful.
