America's Serengeti


 We found a great little motel just outside the park on Grizzly Bear Road called Grizzly Lodge. We hoped that this would give us good luck for spotting a grizzly!

We napped, ate dinner next door at the Log Cabin Cafe (the best place we had eaten at all week!).  At dusk we drove back in to do some more animal watching (crossing our fingers for a grizzly sighting!) We saw lots of bison:









We drove along the Lamar Valley spotting with our binoculars for hours and were about to give up when we spotted an animal coming out of the woods. Finally! A Grizzly Bear! Even from a distance you can see how strong it was. The buffalo started going nuts and stampeding down the whole valley. Our trip to Yellowstone was complete!

Yes that tiny blob is the bear - it was very far away!

Those tiny ants in the background are buffalo running away from the bear.
