Head to this stunning American national park for hiking, camping, wildlife-spotting, and more. Grizzly bears in particular look great while on the move. They are elusive, unlike polar bears, but it is possible to see a good number at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Just make sure you have a good viewing kit to see them roaming. The best time to watch is before sunrise and during sunset at Hayden valley or Lamar valley.
