• Yellowstone National Park

    14. März in den USA

    We were supposed to have a snowmobiling tour into Yellowstone National Park but it was cancelled due to lack of snow in the area. We found an alternative with Casanova tours and our guide, Jackson, was phenomenal. He was a fellow animal enthusiast and we had a lovely day finding all kinds of animals. We were very excited to find a moose right away since they are more rare in Yellowstone with only 170 remaining after the fire of 1988.

    The rest of the day was filled with bison, elk, bison, bald eagles, bison, coyotes, and more bald eagles, a red fox, big horned sheep, and pronghorns. We think we saw a juvenile golden eagle but since it wasn’t a mature adult it was hard to tell. Our guide said it would be rare for a bald eagle to be that large without showing white on its head yet. There were two bison carcasses that we hoped would attract wolves or a grizzly but they hadn’t found them yet. The coyotes and bald eagles had though and it was interesting to watch them start the process. The weather quickly took a turn for the worse and we were happy we packed lots of layers. The temperatures went from 40s to single digits quickly. The wind picked up heavily and it started to snow fiercely which was not in the forecast. This limited visibility but we still had a great time.

    Once back at the hotel we enjoyed the snowy views and dinner at the Montana Jacks restaurant on property.
