While buffalo are not the most beautiful animals, they are amazing in their power. We ran into buffalo at each National Park, sometimes we almost literally ran into them as they sat in the middle of the road! We actually saw them being herded at Custer State Park
We also were fortunate to see a few bald eagles along the way. This eagle proudly sat by the river at Yellowstone.
We happened to be driving by a river at Yellowstone when we saw these full-grown elks just drinking and eating. We watched them for awhile and just marvelled at how HUGE they were.

When we hiked up Mount Washburn in Yellowstone, these Bighorn Sheep literally crossed our path. They actually came a little too close for comfort.
We had a rare black bear sighting at Yellowstone as well. We accidentally stumbled on this bear ambling near a creek. The bear proceeded to meander wherever he chose and eventually crossed the road in front of a pack of gawkers snapping pictures.
Our favorite animal sighting occurred at the Grand Tetons. We all wanted to see a moose! On the final day, we saw four moose! The two pictures here were taken at a pond where we happened upon a moose eating. All I can say is "WOW!"
Thanks for taking an animal safari with me today! If you want to reconnect to Candid Carrie's website, click here.

Again another great post about your trip. I wish I was a camper because I love eveything you saw I just need a bed, and my own bathroom. :))
I love the pictures of the Moose and the Bald Eagle!
Beautiful pictures!! You're a great photographer!
Seriously, why doesn't Chris have a photography business on the side? At the very least, you need to invest in a decent color printer so he could SELL his photos (in frames and whatnot). Awesome pics!!!
What fabulous animal pictures - AMAZING!!
Those are amazing photos!! Not sure what one I like best, they are all so good!!
That. was awesome!
I love nature. We used to live in South Dakota, so we're very familiar with them big ol' buffalo "blocking traffic" out there. You just kind of have to wait...for them.
Really cool pictures. I too loved the one of the moose getting a big drink!
Wonderful animal sightings. Yellowstone must be a fantastic place to visit.
