A wolf, osprey, and bison jam
as we made our way to meet Dan.
Two black bears walked through the meadow just in front of us
Along with seeing two bull moose which was definitely a must.
Then in the stream
You never would have guessed what we’ve seen.
It was a moose cow and calf standing by the the stream
We were so excited we all had silent screams.

Dan Hartman, wildlife photographer, was the man
He sees things that no one else can.
In the Shoshone National forest he took us on a hike.
We walked with all our might
In the alpine forest we saw an owl, woodpecker, rough grouse, and prints of paws.
We searched and searched for wildlife and wild flowers as we meandered in awe.

Winding roads of Beartooth Mountain to 10985 feet high
Marmot and pika were everywhere… oh my!

A visit to Cooke City for dinner and shopping
Pebble Creek canyon was next but for sure… no hopping!
Finally winding down for the day
We say…
“Goodnight from us and the mama coyote, coyote pups, and our final glimpse of the Junction Butte black wolf.”
Lakan, Megan, and Evan
