This is our annual trip to Yellowstone National Park in April, before vehicles are allowed on the roads. We're only 90 miles from West Yellowstone. We could have bicycled or walked and this year we walked. Although we had a lot of snow this spring, this particular day was very warm. A bison calf (in the second picture) had been born that morning on the road. The snow was too deep for the mother to give birth elsewhere. She was trying to find something to graze down the road, and the baby was still wobbly and decided to take a nap. We were concerned at first that she showed little interest, but later she finally turned back and called him until he responded and stood up. What a great day! We are so lucky to be able to live here!
