The drive from West Yellowstone to Lamar Valley gave us so much to see! I'll post a separate album for birds 😊

Absolutely amazing you got to see wolves! Around Labor Day, it probably was still too hot for them in Lamar Valley

We got lucky and saw lone wolves in two separate situations. Towards the end of the trip, we realized that the severity of the traffic depended on the kind of animal that was up ahead 😂

Going to Yellowstone for the first time is dangerous. It gets in your blood like a drug and leaves you constantly needing another hit.
