Because we had to leave Yellowstone a few days earlier than planned, due to the bad weather, it gave us the opportunity to insert some additions into our trip home.
Yellowstone Bear World – About 80 miles from West Yellowstone, in the town of Rexburg, Idaho, is a private drive-through reserve that includes animals native to the Yellowstone area. If you didn’t get to see these animals up close in Yellowstone itself, this is a good opportunity. Elk, deer and bison roam around, sometimes crossing the road in front of you. (There were also three moose, but they were in a hard-to-photograph location.) Mountain goats have their own separate section.
