Yellowstone Wolf Tracker arranges custom single and multiple-day wildlife watching excursions, year-round with national park service approved providers, The Wild Side, LLC. Our guides are very experienced wildlife biologists who have been tracking and observing wolves since reintroduction in 1995. They combine natural and cultural history, scientific investigation, conservation advocacy, film documentary, and extensive on-the-ground experience. The best seasons for wolf viewing are winter, spring, and fall, which are also quiet times in the park; however, we offer the service throughout the year. Outings originate near the north entrance of the park where we typically meet groups in the early morning at Gardiner, Montana; or a nearby location upon arrangement. Your best opportunity to view and learn about wolves in their natural habitat lies in hiring a guide and spending a day tracking and observing these elusive wild animals. Along the way guests are also likely to see large herds of elk and bison, as well as, grizzly bears, eagles, moose, pronghorn antelope, mountain goat, bighorn sheep, coyotes, black bears, and others. Possible, too, are sightings of river otters, badgers, pine martens, owls, and other more rare wildlife.

The Wild Side Llc Is A Commercial Use-Authorized provider of tours by the National Park Service in Yellowstone National Park Winter months are exceptional for touring Yellowstone and observing animal behavior. During winter, the snow pushes elk and bison to valley bottoms. Wolves follow the grazers, creating a perfect opportunity to view them as they concentrate in smaller areas. We pride ourselves on having an exceptional staff comprised of local biologists and naturalist photography guides that have worked extensively in the Yellowstone ecosystem. They know the territories of 5 different wolf packs, and can tell you about the individuals in the packs and explain behavior that you may be lucky enough to observe. They can also describe other wildlife species and their role in the ecosystem, including bison, elk, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, moose, coyotes, foxes, eagles, and ravens.
