The American Serengeti: Yellowstone’s Great Grasslands.
Lamar Valley in all it’s splendor.
Yellowstone’s Northern Range is a primeval grassland ecosystem. It is a portal back in time, to the west that North America’s Native Peoples experienced. The volume and diversity of wildlife in this region is astonishing. It is one of the most celebrated wildlife areas amongst all of our National Parks, and is frequently featured in major wildlife documentary productions. Here, it is possible to view over a thousand bison in a single vista. Elk, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, amd deer are common sights, with the occasional moose. Grizzly bears numbers are strong here. Black bears heavily occupy forested fringes of the Northern Range. Half of all the wolves that live in Yellowstone are here, and it is the highest density of wolves anywhere in North America. As wildlife guides, we always jump at the opportunity check in on the goings on of the Northern Range because we know the kind of wildlife sightings it can produce.
