Red Rocks Lakes National Wildlife Refuge – Lima, Montana
Or, avoid the Yellowstone crowds and head straight to Red Rock Lakes, about 30 miles west of the national park. Here, you’ll see many of the same species that make Yellowstone home, including wolves, bears, bull moose, elk, river otters, and more.
There are also the trumpeter swans that the refuge was created to protect in 1935. Fewer than 70 were known to exist then; today it’s estimated there are more than 46,000 in North America. What’s the opposite of a swan dive?
