Mid-day will provide an opportunity to explore the predators’ habitat on foot. Continue the search for bison, pronghorn and coyotes. The combination of snow due to high elevation and lush valley create the perfect atmosphere for bears, meaning the chance of encountering both Grizzly and Black bears is high.
