The most common animals we saw were bisons and deers. Bears are not unlikely, but it’s a matter of luck. We saw a mother and cub black bear, but grizzly bears are nowhere to find.

Bisons are seen everywhere and they seemed to really feel at home in the entire park area, including the driving roads. This is one major reason that speeding in Yellowstone is fatal.

Between Canyon Country and Yellowstone Lake Area lies an interesting Mud Volcano district. It makes a great sensible stop along the route for a day’s journey that starts at the Canyon Country and ends at the Lake Village.

From Upper Geyser Basin, we drove northbound towards Madison, which is the midpoint between the park’s south entrance near Old Faithful to the north entrance of Mammoth Hot Springs. Total distance is about 16 miles; although it’s not a long distance, considering traffic on a single lane bounded by speed limit of 40 mph with multiple interesting vista points, this short ride can last over an hour.
