Tower Fall Area, Northeast Part of Yellowstone.......




was our next destination as there was a Geocache located in the Pebble Creek area. On our way there we saw the ever present buffalo and some more antelope (at least they looked like antelope to me). We rounded a corner and there was a parking lot in the middle and along side the road. We slowed down and asked "What's up?" A lady told us there was a wolf pack in the meadow below. It was a long way and the ones who could see the wolves explained where they were. I couldn't find them in my binoculars; but, someone had a spotting scope set up and he let people take a peek. There were 4 or 5 wolves, I could find 3 of them after peeking through his scope. The second picture, magnified 12x with Becky's camera, was the best I could do. You might be able to see a small white dot if you enlarge the collage, that was a wolf and there were some others to the left of the dot. We then drove through Tower Falls, another sort of Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. We arrived at the cache and lo 'n behold, we saw another wolf........up close this time. Becky snapped his pic. We then head to Mammoth Falls, the last two pictures were taken from the highway as we neared Mammoth. The best thing about Mammoth Falls was we had lunch there.......and that wasn't too good but not too many choices if you're hungry.
