The highlight of the tour was seeing a pack of wolves feeding on an elk carcass in the Soda Butte Creek, but we also so heards of elk, bison, a couple of coyotes, and a heard bighorn sheep.

Lamar Valley
We decided against renting a car for this trip for 2 main reasons: winter weather could make driving over 90 miles between Bozeman, MT and Yellowstone National Park rather painful, and all roads through the park are close for regular vehicles, except for the road between Gardner and Cook City. This road runs through Lamar Valley, which is one of the best places in Yellowstone to observe wildlife. On our first day in Yellowstone we took the "Wake Up To Wildlife" tour to Lamar Valley.
