Mammoth Grizzly Bear in Yellowstone National Park

A grizzly bear looks up while eating near Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park.

One of the reasons I wanted to camp in Mammoth the first night was because of the reports of not only a wolf-pack in the area, but also a grizzly bear seen near the campsites. Well before I even made it to Mammoth my first day in Yellowstone National Park, I found the happy grizzly bear just south of Mammoth chowing down on some roots. Definitely a great start to an amazing weekend!

After reading your bio I think we feel the same way about Yellowstone and the wildlife there. I was born in Wy. and have been going to Yellowstone for years and never get tired of photographing the place. Maybe some day I will run into you at a bear siting. Keep up the good work.

Wow! What an amazing picture. I went to Yellowstone in July and the grizzly we saw was through a spotting scope. He/she was not close enough to take a picture .

Thanks Angela! You definitely have to be patient with the area to get good shots of them.

Free Roaming Photography, Photography by Mike Cavaroc, is my portfolio and vision of the natural world. As a nature and wildlife photographer, I am striving to reach the angles of landscapes that haven't been documented before as well as finding the dramatic nature of wildlife in its natural state. As a result, every animal photographed on this website was done so in its wild and natural habitat.

Based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I thoroughly explore the wonders of Grand Teton National Park and its surrounding areas, including the Gros Ventre Wilderness, Yellowstone National Park and much more.

I've come to love this region much more than anywhere I've lived, and with your helpful support, I can continue to give back to this community that keeps me enthusiastic each and every day. Read more...
