Eruption in Yellowstone’s Biscuit Basin today 07/23/2024 at 10:19am.

posted this gripping footage taken by Vlada March while walking along Biscuit Basin when Black Diamond Pool erupted. Formed by a hydrothermal explosion, Black Diamond Pool has erupted previously in 1959, 2006, and 2016. The last eruption was not to this degree.

Biscuit Basin is closed until further notice, but the Grand Loop remains open. This eruption does not indicate any change to Yellowstone’s volcanic condition and is an isolated incident. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

Do you see what I see?

An impressive bachelor herd of elk appear atop a hill in Grand Teton. Their antlers are already an impressive size, but they are still growing!

They may be traveling buddies now, but come September they will not be so friendly with one another as they compete for breeding rights.

For now, we’ll enjoy seeing these bachelors together on our tours!

What’s cuter than a brand new moose calf?

It’s that time of year when new life is brought into the ecosystem. While they are taking their first steps and learning about their big new world, we can’t help but fall for these adorable newcomers!

By late summer, they’ll be unrecognizable as they grow into their darker coats and shed the baby fur. They grow up so fast!

Our team just finished up our annual Track and Sign training, learning how to read the landscape to tell the story of what wildlife species passed by and what they were up to.

This is an exciting skill to have if you spend any time in the outdoors. A seemingly empty forest comes alive with the presence of past critters who moved through before you. It’s more than just tracks in the ground, it’s intimate knowledge of a species and their habits:
A tree with scrapes in the bark is where an elk rubbed his antlers.
A torn up log in the ground was a bear buffet of tasty termites.
A subtle depression in the grass was a moose bed in the recent past.

Come along on one of our Track and Sign tours in Grand Teton and learn about the wildlife in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem on a whole other level!

We’d like to with a happy Mother’s Day to all our loving moms out there!

We see the special love that only mothers can give across all countries, cultures, and even species! All of the wild mothers of the Yellowstone Ecosystem remind us of this unique bond every day.

To all the mothers of today, mothers to be, mothers at heart, and mothers who are no longer with us, you are irreplaceable, and we couldn’t do it without you.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Let’s find some animals!

Spring is an exciting time to go wildlife watching in Jackson Hole- as the snow melts and the vegetation rebounds, the valley experiences a reawakening. Local wildlife return to the valley to graze and others emerge from hibernation, ready to begin again.

We love to get out into the middle of it all and we hope you come with us!

Prey are not defenseless.

A cow elk chases off a couple of coyotes who were checking out the situation. Coyotes typically do not bother elk, but under the right conditions with heavy snow and a very weak or sick elk, they may take their chances.

More than likely, however, these coyotes were more interested in what was under the snow that the elk kicked up as they grazed. That will help them to hunt voles and other rodents underneath! The elk didn’t appreciate being bothered before they were finished with their resting spot, and weren’t shy about letting the coyotes know.

These coyotes got the message loud and clear!

Mormon Row is one of the most interesting and popular highlights of Jackson Hole. You might recognize the most photographed barn in the world, the Moulton Barn, which allows you to peer into the past of the rugged pioneers that forged a new life on a vibrant homestead.

Read about the fascinating history of the early settlers that established Mormon Row here:

The American West has a history of bravery in the face of adversity. See remnants of the past at Mormon Row in Grand Teton National Park.

Don’t forget to keep your eyes to the skies! 🦅

Both bald and golden eagles can be found throughout the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, though bald eagles are far more common to spot. Bald eagles are often mistaken for golden eagles as they don’t grow in their signature white head and tail feathers until they mature at about 4-5 years old. Before then, it is very easy to confuse them!

These majestic birds are always a welcome sight in this beautiful landscape.

Fun fact: the sound that productions use for the bald eagle’s call in movies and television is rarely accurate! More often than not, you’re hearing the screech of a red-tailed hawk in lieu of the eagles true call, which is a much softer, high-pitched whistle. Not quite as commanding as the hawk!

Ask anybody visiting Yellowstone what they are most hoping to see and you’ll typically hear the same answer- bears! Yellowstone National Park is famous for being home to both black bears and grizzly bears, drawing people from around the world with high hopes of witnessing these incredible animals in the wild.

It’s not always easy to find them, however. Some seasons are better than others! Check out our blog to get tips on how to maximize your chances of experiencing wild bears in this beautiful ecosystem!

Remember, seeing a bear is not a guarantee. Try not to focus all of your energy on this one goal… Yellowstone is a treasure trove of wonders to delight in!

The GYE is home to both black bears and grizzly bears, making it a top destination for those seeking to experience bear sightings in the wild.
