(News Release) On Tuesday, March 7, a Yellowstone National Park wildlife biologist on a radio telemetry flight observed the first grizzly bear of 2023 to emerge from hibernation. The adult bear, estimated at 300-350 pounds, was seen near the remains of a bison carcass in Pelican Valley, in the central-eastern part of the park.

The first bear sighting of 2022 also occurred on March 7.

Male grizzlies come out of hibernation in early March. Females with cubs emerge in April and early May. When bears emerge from hibernation, they look for food and often feed on elk and bison that died over the winter. Sometimes, bears will react aggressively to encounters with people when feeding on carcasses.

“Spring visitors skiing, snowshoeing, or hiking in Yellowstone National Park are reminded to carry bear spray and be especially alert for bears near carcasses and areas with early spring green-up. These are the first foods sought out by grizzlies after emerging from hibernations,” said Kerry Gunther, the park's bear management biologist.

All of Yellowstone National Park is bear country: from the deepest backcountry to the boardwalks around Old Faithful. The park restricts certain visitor activities in locations where there is a high density of bears, along with elk and bison carcasses. Restrictions will begin in some bear management areas on March 10.

One of my favorite times in the park is in May when all the babies are out and about! I’m looking forward to spring.

Check out these historic digital archives of Yellowstone maps and plans.

This is one of the few maps in Yellowstone’s collection that was created prior to the U.S. Army administration era (1886-1918), when civilian superintendents oversaw the park. Created by Philetus W. Norris, the second superintendent of Yellowstone, this map illustrates the locations of the game preserve (in blue); geysers and other hot spring basins (in red); sulphur basins (in yellow); and roads, proposed roads, and hotel sites (in green). Additionally, the names of bison, elk, and other animals are handwritten (in red) to show their native haunts and where their populations were abundant.

Over the past two years, archives staff at the Yellowstone Heritage and Research Center have worked on digitizing over 2,200 of the park’s historic maps and drawings—check out the collection online with Montana Memory Project at http://ow.ly/6v9750M2nFN.

(News Release) Yellowstone National Park announced today that the human foot found in Abyss Pool, located in the West Thumb Geyser Basin, belonged to Il Hun Ro, a 70-year-old male from Los Angeles, California. Yellowstone law enforcement officers received the positive identification based on DNA analysis in the last three weeks and notified the family.

In August 2022, staff discovered part of a foot in a shoe floating in the well-known thermal feature and an investigation led by Yellowstone law enforcement officers began. The investigation determined, to the best of our knowledge, that an unwitnessed incident involving one individual happened on the morning of July 31, 2022, at Abyss Pool, and no foul play occurred. Based on a lack of evidence, the circumstances surrounding the death of Ro remain unknown.

This investigation has concluded, and the park has no additional information to share.

Yellowstone would like to thank the NPS Investigative Services Branch, Teton County (Wyoming) Coroner’s Office, Teton County (Wyoming) Search and Rescue, and Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation for their assistance in the investigation.

Editor’s note: There are no photos of this incident. Photos of West Thumb Geyser Basin can be found on Yellowstone’s Flickr.

It’s that time of year! Black bears going after berries have learned what the rangers look like. They are constantly going around them and blocking traffic.
