Hidden Yellowstone & Grand Teton Safari

In 1995, more than a century after the gray wolf was eradicated from the Yellowstone region, it was reintroduced to America's first national park. As wolves began to thrive again in their native habitat, so, too, did controversy. Watch this short film to learn more about the conservation challenges faced by Yellowstone's wolves.

Track gray wolves in the Lamar Valley. Float the Snake River beneath the spires of the Tetons. Marvel at the white limestone terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs. This is Yellowstone and Grand Teton like you’ve never experienced them.
