THE ADVENTURE
Join authors
and
conservationists
Hank and Carol Fischer as
they journey through
Yellowstone National Park on a quest
to find wolves and grizzly bears. Also guiding on
the trip will be Nathan Varley (www.wolftracker.com),
a Yellowstone expert who has lived in or near the Park all
his life.
The trip is
timed to coincide with a remarkable natural event that occurs
annually in
Yellowstone: the birth of thousands of elk calves. This
 burst of new life triggers a
frenzy of predation, providing a peak opportunity for viewing
wolves and grizzlies. On
a typical trip we will see 10-15 different grizzlies and
a similar number of wolves. We have watched both
grizzlies and wolves make kills.
Learn
the natural history of wolves and bears from some of the
nation's leading experts. Discover
the fascinating relationship between predator and prey. Explore the far-reaching implications
of
 having
wolves
 back
in the Yellowstone ecosystem.
Investigate the future of grizzlies
in the lower 48 states. Get
an insider’s perspective on the
politics behind the reintroduction of
wolves to
Yellowstone
and central Idaho, as well as a conservationist’s viewpoint
on what it takes to maintain these species in the wild.
Hank
and Carol will take you to places where wolves hunt in the alpenglow and
grizzly bears dig for biscuitroot, where bison and their
orange calves emerge from the morning
mist, where bighorn sheep perch precariously on cliff walls. Along the way,
you’ll have the opportunity to observe nesting
bald eagles,
coyotes mousing in meadows, trumpeter swans, water ouzels,
elk, and moose. In addition, you will witness some of the
world’s most incredible geothermal activity. Following an
exhilarating day filled with wildlife viewing, you’ll stay at
historic places in and around the Park including Lake Hotel.
