 Mosse x-ing by kazander
Also be aware of Bison Jams, they happen in this park as well,. perhaps not with the frequency of Yellowstone, but they do happen. Bison like to take their time crossing the road, or in some cases, they just take a leisurely stroll down the road. Traffic can build up quite heavily when this happens. It is best to stay in your car. Remember that these are large, powerful , wild animals and that you should not approach them, no matter how "tame" they may appear. Leave a Comment

 Deer on Signal Mt. by Shihar
We witnessed a Elk being hit with a car by a person that was going way over the speed limit at night. To make matters worse, the Elk's stunned and confused companion almost got clobbered by an on-coming Semi as well.
This is what occurs especially since Hwy 191 and an airport are located within a National Park!
Once you enter the park you receive a flyer that states "Speed Kills" more than 100 bears, elk, bison, deer, moose and wolves are killed per year.

 Bison by kazander
If you want fantastic photos of animals, buy a camera with a good zoom, or if you are experienced with photography and have an SLR, get a telephoto lens, preferably a decent focal length of at LEAST 300mm. Good photos, safe people and animals, that's the way to do it! Leave a Comment

 Bear warning sign at Hidden
falls by Shihar
-If you encounter a bear, do not run. If the bear is unaware of you, detour quickly and quietly away. If the bear is aware but has not acted aggressively, back slowly away while talking in an even tone.
-Never approach a bear for any reason.
-Never allow a bear to get human food. If approached while eating, put food away and retreat to a safe distance (100 yards/91 meters).
-Never abandon food because of an approaching bear. Always take it with you.
-Never throw your pack or food at a bear in an attempt to distract it.
-Never bury food scraps, containers, or fish entrails. Put them in trash cans.
-Never leave food, containers, or garbage unattended in camp. Bears are active both day and night.
-Report all bear sightings to a ranger.
