Grizzly bear runs past bus full of tourists in Yellowstone National Park

Grizzly bear runs past bus full of tourists in Yellowstone National Park

This group of tourists, traveling through Yellowstone National Park in one of those historic yellow buses from the 1920s, certainly got their money’s worth in terms of wildlife viewing, as a female grizzly bear, being chased by a male grizzly bear, sprinted past the vehicle as they pulled over to the shoulder.

The Greater Yellowstone ecosystem is home to an estimated 965 grizzly bears. About 150-200 of these grizzlies have their home in part or all of the park. Whenever you enter Yellowstone, there’s a chance you’ll catch a glimpse of one of these majestic animals, but seeing one the way tourists would have in the 1920s is a real treat.

About Yellowstone’s Historic Yellow Bus:

Yellowstone’s legendary yellow bus tours began in the 1920s. At the height of their popularity in Yellowstone in the mid-1920s, more than 400 of these vehicles operated in the park. The current fleet of 13-passenger vehicles retains their original appearance, including retractable fabric roofs and picture windows, but has been modernized with frames and engines from a 2007 Ford E450 van. A very cool way to experience our country’s first national park. If you’re interested in booking a tour, CLICK HERE.
