In the fall, Bison in Yellowstone move downslope where the snow pack is lower and new vegetation growth begins earlier in spring. They follow a number of pathways to access meadows that provide better food sources at the lower elevations. We watched a herd of Bison follow a well-worn path that would take them to feeding areas that will provide sustenance for them during the coming winter. As they ambled single file down the game trail, I couldn’t help but think how wild west looking this scenario was.
