What an awesome hike, thanks for taking me along! I loved the wolf tracks! That Grizzly was apparently a big boy, happy you didn’t meet!

I'm glad you came along, Jane! I would have loved to have seen the grizzly from a safe distance. But, as you noted, I'm glad we didn't meet.

Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed A Walk in the Wild, Don. I wondered if the photos worked and it's good to hear that they did.

Thanks so much, Tom. We do feel very intimate with this place. I enjoy your Words on the Nature of Life on substack too.

You said it, Rick! "Those big predators knock us humans from our self-proclaimed thrones"!

Hi, Betsy. The presence of predators is what makes hiking in Yellowstone's backcountry such a thrill and a challenge. I enjoy both aspects.
