Observe Elk and Wolves in the Wild

The Fall Wolf & Elk Discovery Lodging & Learning package focuses on wolves, elk, and other exciting wildlife. Yellowstone’s famous northern range is a prime location to view wolves in Yellowstone, and Mammoth Hot Springs is the best place in the park to view the annual elk rut. This package is designed to take advantage of both rare opportunities. A Yellowstone Forever field educator will share up-to-date information about Yellowstone wildlife biology, behavior, and ecology throughout daily outings.

The first evening includes an informative orientation with a Yellowstone Forever field educator. The following three full days involve early departures to search for wolves and watch elk perform their mating rituals. Afternoons are spent exploring wildlife habitats and hiking to examine tracks and other animal signs. Participants will likely encounter many other wildlife species during daily outings, where field educators will discuss the role these animals play in the ecosystem.

Most sightings of wildlife occur at a distance; the field educator will provide high-powered spotting scopes and binoculars for group use.

Activity Level – Hikes up to 3 miles per day with elevation gains up to 600 feet. Some off-trail hiking possible.

Lodging & Learning programs are offered in partnership with Yellowstone Forever.
