In-Depth Information
bison or moose you're stalking won't be the last one you see in the park. If you absolutely must get that rutting elk
snapshot, pull completely off the road. If there's no room to park, just wait for a better opportunity.
Also, vehicles dispatch about 100 animals a year in Yellowstone, so watch your speed and the road, especially
at dusk.
Rescue & Evacuation
Search-and-rescue operations are expensive and often require emergency personnel to risk
their own welfare. Self-evacuation should be your first consideration.
For serious accidents or illness, seek help, but don't leave the injured party alone. If
that's impossible, leave sufficient warm clothing, food and water. Leave a whistle and
flashlight, and mark the position with something conspicuous.
