Yellowstone Trip Spring 2008

We have been traveling to YNP since the spring of 2003. Spring is our most favorite season in the park. There are less people, less traffic to deal with and the animals are out often stretching from the long winter.
This year we viewed 16 bears (5 Grizzlies, 11 Black), 3 moose, a fox, 3 coyotes, 2 Bighorn sheep, a Golden eagle, a Bald eagle, several large elk, a number of Pronghorn, and millions of buffalo. The snow level in the park was the deepest we've seen at this time of year. At the south entrance, the snow was still 1 1/2 to 2 feet deep; but the temperatures and weather were perfect.
We encountered many ar-tards. These are humans that do not know how to properly pull off to the side of the road and take their digital photos of buffalo they will see everywhere in the park. This level of obnoxiousness also occurs with bears and wolves. It spoils the experience.
Please enjoy the slideshow of our vacation!
