Jackson Hole 2020 - Wildlife

 After Yellowstone, we traveled south to spend a few days in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to enjoy the scenery, wildlife and fall color.

We spent most of our time camped in the Gros Ventre Campground.  This campground has a reputation for wildlife wandering near and into the campground, especially moose.

I never got a decent shot of this bull moose that was often seen near the campground.

We saw lots of chipmunks around the campground.

 


One morning just up the road from the campground, we found this cow and young bull moose next to the road.



Another young bull seen near the north end of the Moose-Wilson Road


We occasionally saw pronghorns.




This coyote stayed close to the road for a while.




One time we had to stop along the road to let a long line of running bison cross the road.




We were awed watching these massive animals jumping the fence.



Meanwhile, the group of horses in the field just idly watched.
