Review of Xanterra Parks & Resorts, Yell...

WOW!! This was my first time ever visiting Yellows...

WOW!! This was my first time ever visiting Yellowstone and it was a trip of a lifetime. We were able to witness a pack of 4 wolves stalk and kill an elk in Hayden Valley. It was an amazing sight to see. We traveled around the grand loop and spent just 3 short days here. In that time besides witnessing the wolves hunt, we saw black bear, a bull snake, horned owl owlets, elk and of course BISON....they are everywhere and if you re are entering the park through the West entrance plan for anywhere from 30 mins to 3 hour delays. The 2nd day we entered from the West entrance we sat in traffic for 3 hours because of the bison in the road. If I ever get the chance to come back I will NOT be using the West entrance. This park was the first national park and its beauty has only grown since it was established. There s tons to see at this national treasure and could easily spend weeks here without seeing everything. I challenge anyone who reads this to go outside your comfort zone and hike some trails and get out of your car. The average Yellowstone visitor travels less than a mile from their cars. Oh and lastly please do NOT stop on the roadways for pictures, be considerate and use the pullouts.
