Josh and I, along with future blogger Seth had a great time at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park recently. We were fortunate to see three elk and a black bear. This is a gorgeous park to visit, especially in the fall. Since we had the jeep we tried a few of the one way dirt roads out of the park. The roads turned out to be passable by a car, which was disappointing, but it was still fun to get away from the crowds and that is where we saw the black bear. rk

Yellowstone’s wolves are one of the most popular examples of a successful species reintroduction in North America! Another popular example would be the California Condor who was once considered extinct in the wild and now has a population approaching 500! I have been lucky enough to see both the wolves of Yellowstone and a California Condor (at the Grand Canyon!). On our recent trip to Waterton Lakes in Alberta we got lucky again and saw a small bison herd that was reintroduced into the Canadian plains in 2014! Still being quite the small herd and an ongoing process of reintroduction I am excited to see how the bison thrive in their old Canadian home!
Thanks! – Josh
