The only way to guarantee some chance of seeing a wolf is to go on a guided tour, taking a full day to track and observe these elusive and powerful animals. Enroute it is not uncommon to see other creatures too – black bears, coyotes, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, pronghorn antelopes, moose and eagles. Other rarely, but interesting sightings may be of owls, martens, badgers and even grizzly bears. In fact, going on a guide tour is the safest bet as guides are familiar with the terrain, the animals themselves and can educate guests about the history, ecology and current topics that face Yellowstone and its many inhabitants.
Tours and guide pickups are prearranged and a meeting place is designated at the entrance to Yellowstone National Park's northern entrance in Gardiner. It is advised that times are arranged for starting early as possible during the morning as the wolves are more active then.
Be prepared to spend from six to eight hours exploring and watching, but this may be dependent on group interests, the weather, and even sightings. The majority of the exploration will take place in the northern part of the park. Most of the trip is on the road, but there are arranged hikes to varied locations. Guides will use varied equipment such as binoculars and scopes to see the wolves as they are very wary of human beings, so the majority of sightings will be from a fair distance, also for safety's sake. Guests are free to take photos, but the chances of capturing one off the cuff are pretty remote.
