When visiting Yellowstone National Park, it's important to remember to stay at least 75 feet away from bison for your safety. Learn more about bison safety and facts in the description below!

Bison are one of the most iconic and dangerous animals in Yellowstone National Park. They may seem slow and docile but can be unpredictable and aggressive, especially when approached too closely. Here are some safety tips for encountering bison in Yellowstone:

### **1. Maintain a Safe Distance**
- Stay at least **25 yards (23 meters)** away from bison at all times.
- Use binoculars or a zoom lens for photos instead of trying to get closer.

### **2. Observe Their Behavior**
- Look for signs of agitation, such as:
- Snorting or pawing the ground.
- Flicking their tails rapidly.
- Raising their tails (a sign they might charge).
- If a bison shows these behaviors, back away slowly and calmly.

### **3. Never Approach or Touch**
- Do not approach bison, even if they appear calm or are lying down.
- Never try to pet or feed them; they are wild animals and can react unpredictably.

### **4. Avoid Surprise Encounters**
- Be alert in areas with limited visibility, such as trails or around corners.
- Make noise while hiking to avoid startling a bison.

### **5. Stay in Your Vehicle**
- If bison are near a road or parking area, remain inside your vehicle.
- If bison block the road, stay in your car and wait for them to move on. Do not honk or try to force your way through.

### **6. Be Cautious in Traffic Jams**
- "Bison jams" are common when the animals cross roads. Stay calm and patient, and do not leave your vehicle to take close-up pictures.

### **7. Travel in Groups**
- Groups are less likely to surprise or provoke a bison than individuals.

### **8. Use Designated Trails**
- Stick to established trails and boardwalks, especially in areas where bison are known to roam.

### **9. Educate Children**
- Teach kids the importance of keeping their distance and not running toward or away from bison.

### **10. Know What to Do if Charged**
- Bison can run up to 35 mph (56 km/h), faster than humans. If charged:
- Get behind a large object like a tree or rock for protection.
- Do not run in a straight line; zigzagging or changing direction might help.

Yellowstone has specific rules and rangers dedicated to wildlife safety. Respecting these guidelines helps protect both you and the park's animals.

****About****
Hi Ramblers! We are Ron & Jodi; we want to share with you our RV travels in the Pacific Northwest. We RV up and down Washington and Oregon's scenic coastline and explore the east side of the Cascade Mountain Range enjoying the high desert.

We have lots to show you around in our own backyard to include our national & state parks in Washington and Oregon.

The best thing about owning an RV is that no matter where you go, you are always home. Still working full time and living residentially in the Pacific Northwest, we will take extended RV vacations outside the PNW. We have been to California and Nevada and have traveled east to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons.

When we take a break from the RV lifestyle we travel to beautiful Hawaii and hop aboard luxurious cruise ships destined for Alaska and the Caribbean. We take you on our vacations for an immersive travel experience.

There are many videos to watch and help you decide how to spend your time in the PNW and beyond!
