Head to Yellowstone, Theodore Roosevelt National Park, or Canadian prairies where these massive animals roam freely in their natural habitat. Keep a safe distance (at least 25 yards) and watch for their impressive size and surprising agility, especially during rutting season when bulls are most active.

βOur favorite moment was standing in the prairie, watching the bison slowly plod through the tall grass. It was just the two of us, the bison herd, and the noisy prairie dogsβ¦and it was amazing. It made any bison spotting from the car, whether in Yellowstone, Custer State Park, or the Badlands, seem somewhat boring. Here we were, alone, standing in the same field as these magnificent animals, and it was awesome.β
βMy husband and I spent late May through early June traveling through Yellowstone and Montana β and it was nothing short of life-changing. We saw bison in person for the first time at Yellowstone and we were awestruck by their size and grandeur.β
