Wolf and Bear Spring Expeditions
 This popular tour focuses on Greater Yellowstone's predators. The Lamar and Hayden Valleys, where bears hunt, are the same areas where the wolves den, centralizing predator activity. Participants travel to the best sites for viewing bears and reintroduced wolves. In addition, the trip may include stops at Old Faithful, the colorful Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone - crowned by a waterfall more than twice as high as Niagara Falls - and the terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs. This program sold out quickly last year; we recommend making reservations as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
