This was our second trip to Yellowstone. We stayed for for 4 days. We saw so much wildlife it was overwhelming. I wish we could have stayed longer. I learned about a ridge in the Lamar Valley that the animals use to travel on. If I had more time I would have planned on finding a covered spot to watch for wolves, grizzlys, and mountain lions. Yellowstone is one of my favorite places I have ever been. So much biodiversity and so much crazy stuff to see and learn about. I ended up buying a topographic map for future planning. I will be back, hopefully soon.
