While many of the animals at Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks can be enjoyed at relatively short safe distances, Grizzley Bears and Wolves are especially dangerous and very elusive. The safest way to observe these animals are at very far distances. The Park Service requires that all visitors remain at least 100 yards from these creatures. Most of the time it’s rare to get even get that close.
An important part of observing these magnificent creatures is watching their behaviors. This can only be done using long range scopes and lenses.
We always felt lacking when any animal is spotted at far distances. Now thanks to a grant from the Ripley County Community Foundation and additional funding from private donors, we now have two powerful spotting scopes and long-range lenses with cameras. THANK YOU RCCF!! You truly are helping us make our trips “An adventure of a Lifetime” for Ripley County students.
