Drivers are also asked to beware of mule deer crossing the road near Albertson's. Visitors looking to combine wildlife viewing with a snowmobile experience can venture up to Yellowstone National Park where they will likely see several bison, among other wonders. Yellowstone is home to the largest concentration of large and small mammals in the lower 48 states, including its newest inhabitants - the endangered gray wolves. Brought in from Canada, several wolves can sometimes be spotted in the park's Lamar Valley in the northeast corner, which remains open to vehicle traffic in the winter. Wildflowers in an amazing variety and profusion bloom throughout the warm months in Grand Teton National Park.
Sagebrush buttercups follow receding snow pack.
Springbeauties, yellowbells and steerhead arrive soon after, growing close to the ground for protection from late snowstorms or frost. Brilliant color covers the valley floor during late June, the peak of the wildflower season. Meadows of scarlet gilia, balsamroot, lupine, larkspur and wild buckwheat bloom in multiple combinations of red, yellow, blue, purple and white. Following the valley display, many of the same wildflowers flourish in meadows along canyon trails. A comprehensive Yellowstone guide.
