See the Bison at Yellowstone Montana

“While returning to Bozeman, I saw bison for the first time — only one at first, the sight of which caused me to slow to a crawl and glance around my empty car, wide-eyed and grinning, wishing for someone to share in my excitement. Around the bend I stopped entirely and got out to marvel at an entire herd plodding across the roadside meadow. In the next few miles I would see hundreds more, some a quarter-mile away, some — like the one who stood next to me on the road — only two or three feet distant.”

“When I visited Yellowstone in 2016, seeing the American baby bison at play was one of my favorite sightings; I was certainly looking forward to seeing them again in May 2022. They did not disappoint; the first group of bison (Bison bison) that stopped us on the road on Day 1 included a good number of babies. [...] Sitting in your stopped car does give you a good look at the molting adults and cute youngsters as they pass by your window, sometimes within a couple of feet.”
