Bull bison (buffalo) on Mt. Washburn, Yellowstone National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Wyoming, August 18, 2014
We were surprised to see this lone bull bison in the parking lot (8,752 ft. elevation) at the end of Chittenden Road, the trailhead for the north trail to the top of Mt. Washburn (10,243 ft.). We have seen bison in a lot of different places in Yellowstone, particularly to the north of Mount Washburn in the Lamar Valley and to the south starting around Canyon Village. It just seemed odd to see this fellow in a more alpine setting.
