      If you go to Yellowstone, you might have animals cross in front of you, but more likely they’ll cross like a mile ahead and you’ll just be stuck in traffic and not see it.

      A lot of people pull off to the side of the road to look at animals a quarter mile away.

      If you want to see wild animals, hiking anywhere in north eastern Montana is where I’d go. My brother lives near Glacier National Park and sees bears and moose quite a bit. If you don’t want to hike, I recommend Glacier’s Going to the Sun Road, just get there early (a little after sunrise) to beat traffic and you’ll probably see mountain goats, deer, and some gophers or something (and maybe a bear if your eyes are sharp). It gets packed around 9-10am, but it’s gorgeous regardless.

      Yellowstone is super cool, don’t get me wrong, but it’s also incredibly packed with people and everything is far away. Most national parks will have plenty of wild animals, you may need to hike to see them (and go early, they hide more in the middle of the day).
