We woke up around 8:40 after hitting the snooze a couple of times and got up to head to Yellowstone. Just outside of the park Elena and I stopped by the "Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center" to see both Giant Grizzlies that had been deemed dangerous as they were too comfortable with human contact as well as a captive bread wolf pack. It was both awe inspiring and a bit sad to see such beautiful animals housed in enclosures. The most disturbing part was how the bears would run for food when a bell was rung to get them to leave the enclosure.
We drive through Yellowstone to see the Mammoth Hot Springs and then drove the Northern loop and saw amazing Wildlife. We saw mule dear, elk, pronghorn and even a grizzly! We stopped to make dinner (macaroni and seasoned chicken breast, mmmm) while overlooking a herd of bison with young. The herd slowly meandered across the open area and even crossed the road in front of cars, which caused quite a traffic jam! We eventually rolled into camp and settled down after a satisfying day of spotting wildlife.
