Yellowstone Day 5...Lamar Valley...


Today we headed out to Lamar Valley, which is a long drive from where we are staying. They also have a road closed, so we had to go the long way. Luckily the kids took a good nap, but Jace did start to say, "What is taking so long?, and this is so annoying."

On our way through Mammoth.

We saw a lot of pronghorn...

...and a ton of buffalo...I mean a ton!

One guy tried to tell us that this was a wolf...so we waited for it to come out...

There you have it...a big bad coyote!

He loved strolling down the road too!

Some buffalo looking like they wanted to charge us.

Traffic stop for some more buffalo. We did see some wolves though...way out in a field with our binoculars. There were 8 of them...it was exciting, even though they looked like bunny rabbits in the binoculars. :)
