Trip Report May 1-3
Posted: Mon May 03, 2021 8:18 pm
I arrived in Bozeman 1:30PM Saturday and after a trip to Walmart to stock up, headed for the park. Stopped at the bison carcass on the Madison and waited for an hour but then had to go check into my room.
The next morning, I went back to the carcass. Ran into a lot of friends and acquaintances, but the wolves didn't show up after 5 hours and I left. A grizzly did approach once but just walked away back into the trees and I barely saw it.
I went back to my room and took a nap, then went into the Lamar. Saw a black bear up a hill near Phantom Lake, but didn't stop. Then I saw a cinnamon black bear up near the NE entrance and got a few pics before it wandered up the hill.
I have a chest cold and I was feeling lousy this morning so I slept in and decided to just rest until after lunch. After lunch, I headed out to the Lamar. Saw some bighorn rams near the Confluence. Found a fox near the NE entrance before I ate dinner in Cooke City. Then I came back and found a black bear in the ditch just past the Yellowstone River bridge. Went out the old Yellowstone Road and saw loads of elk, deer and antelope.
