The Perfect Weekend in Grand Teton National Park

A shaggy looking Saint Bernard trotted over to us. The lower half of his body was caked in mud, his face an expression of that classic Saint Bernard droop which turned hopeful as he neared us, leaning against our legs for cuddles. A few paces away, rows of horses in varying shades of browns, golds, speckles, and palamino, swatted flies with their tales and stomped their hooves.

My Experience With the Wolves in Yellowstone

We had been stopped for only five minutes or so when we realized that the wolves weren’t, in fact, moving away from us. They were moving toward us. 

Time seemed to freeze as we blinked and looked to our guide for… guidance. He squirmed a bit, debating what was worse: the sounds of our engines turning back on and potentially aggravating the animals or allowing them to get close enough for us to be in potential danger.
