Paradise Valley is a major river valley of the Yellowstone River in southwestern Montana just north of Yellowstone National Park in Park County, Montana. The valley is flanked by the Absaroka Range on the east and the Gallatin Range on the west. Guests can expect to see numerous wildlife sightings today that may include white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, golden eagles, bald eagles, along with other wildlife!

We will lodge in this picturesque mountain town that resides at the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park.

Today will be our first day of wolf and major wildlife viewing in Yellowstone National Park! Lamar Valley is known as the 'American Serengeti' and we will be in the best wildlife viewing area in North America! Wolves move early and we will be out and about to have our best chances at finding them! Expect lots of wildlife and scenery throughout the morning. Wildlife we often see are mule deer, pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, bison, elk, and moose. We will be driving through territory of 3 wolf packs making this a great opportunity for wolf viewing!

The Roosevelt Arch is an arch at the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park in Gardiner, Montana, United States. Constructed under the supervision of the US Army at Fort Yellowstone, its cornerstone was laid down by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903. This is a great place to stop and take a photo of your trip into Yellowstone National Park!

On March 1, 1872, Yellowstone became the first national park for all to enjoy the unique hydrothermal and geologic features. The history of wolves in Yellowstone includes the extirpation, absence and reintroduction of wild populations of the gray wolf to Yellowstone National Park and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.

We will depart the lodge early for another morning of listening, glassing and watching wolves! We often have wolf killed elk and winter deceased bison located that wolves and other predators visit to get a bite to eat. On these food sources we may see coyote, red fox, bald eagle, golden eagles, and wolves! Your professional guide will use all available resources to track down and show you wolves like you’ve never seen them before! We will then check in to our lodge in Cooke City, Montana where we will take a break and guests may choose to go back into the park to wildlife watch or relax in Cooke City for the evening.

Another early morning as we head out for one last game drive to view wolves & other wildlife! We will see many other animals along the way as they endure the everyday struggle of surviving the harsh Yellowstone winter. Guests should keep their camera ready as photography opportunities are around every corner! Guests will have a great chance to see bison, elk, moose, mule deer, bighorn sheep, pronghorn antelope, mountain goat, coyote, and red fox!

On our way to Bozeman we will visit Mammoth Hot Springs. Guests should expect to arrive at their Bozeman, Montana area hotel at approximately 4 p.m.
