Wow, wow, wow! We had the most incredible afternoon yesterday.
After our last visit to Hayden Valley and the lakeshore before the roads closed, we encountered the Wapiti Lake wolf pack napping along the roadside near Canyon, about 200 yards from the road.
At first, we could only spot 6 or 8 furry lumps completely sacked out in the grass.
Occasionally one would get up, go sniff and greet some of the others, and then lay back down again. We eventually spotted about 11 as they moved and shifted their napping spots.
We waited. And waited. And waited. The wolves slept. And slept. And slept.
Then, out of the woods came 7 or 8 more, and they all converged together, greeting and growling and barking and saying hello in a giant pack of fur and movement. All in all we were able to count 20 wolves.
Watch the array of individual interactions they displayed, it’s really quite amazing.
Another once in a lifetime Yellowstone moment!
