America's first National Park
Established in 1872 by President Ulysses S. Grant

All of the photographs on these pages were taken the last week of June, 1999.
While every effort was made to find a compromise between picture resolution and file size, some of the graphic files may take time to load through a modem.

The reintroduction of the Bison into Yellowstone has been a huge success by any standard.  While the largest herds can be found in the Hayden Valley area, they roam throughout the park.  The Bison have no natural enemies in the park, even a Grizzly Bear cannot take down an adult Bison, so they tend to fear nothing and do as they please. It is common to experience travel delays due to "Buffalo Jams".
