With it comes a host of plans for trips far and \u2018yon as we think about vacation. If you\u2019re like us, and love to see animals in all phases of the year, you may be considering heading out to the best places to see wildlife in the USA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Places_to_See_Wildlife_in_the_USA\"><\/span><b>Best Places to See Wildlife in the USA<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The United States has no shortage of incredible places to witness wildlife in their natural habitat. From wolves in Yellowstone National Park to elk in Rocky Mountain National Park and moose at Baxter State Park in Maine, you can pick what you want to experience at each destination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And that experience is not only tied to wildlife. There\u2019s camping and hiking nearly anywhere you go. Photo opps in the soft evening light of western setting are incomparable. Canoeing at dawn on a remote lake in the northeast to the cadence of a loon\u2019s call is something you have to experience. Witnessing waterfowl\u2019s migration north, back to their nesting grounds in the Midwest\u2026<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With so many options, it\u2019s a tough choice. So, we\u2019ve focused on the best places to see wildlife in the USA since, you know, we\u2019re hunters and conservationists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Icon_Yellowstone_National_Park\"><\/span><b>The Icon: Yellowstone National Park<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Everybody knows the name. It\u2019s synonymous with the West and western wildlife. Probably because Yellowstone National Park was the world\u2019s first national park.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s home to a plethora of wildlife such as elk, bison, moose, deer, bears, and wolves. More than 300 species of birds also inhabit Yellowstone in the summer. Over 1,100 species of native plants, 200 of exotic plants, and some 400 species of thermophiles, which produce the bright colors around many of the hot springs, also live in the park.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There\u2019s no shortage of natural world wonders to witness in Yellowstone National Park. Visitors can drive the Grand Loop Road to cover more ground or lace up their boots to experience some of the 900-plus miles of hiking trails. Just be sure to take plenty of water and follow all of the Park\u2019s guidelines concerning wildlife.<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Majestic_Rocky_Mountain_National_Park\"><\/span><b>The Majestic: Rocky Mountain National Park<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rocky Mountain National Park in <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/elk-hunting-where-to-how-to-why-to\/\">Colorado<\/a> has some of the most majestic views of any national park. The elevation ranges from around 7,800 feet to over 14,000. Something to consider when planning what you\u2019ll do in the park.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rocky Mountain National Park holds a bounty of wildlife, including bighorn sheep, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/tag\/black-bears\/\">black bears<\/a>, mountain lions, <a title=\"Coveted 4th Season Mule Deer Tag\" href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/blog\/coveted-4th-season-mule-deer-tag\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mule deer<\/a>, and moose. And of course, elk, of which there are plenty of big bulls roaming close to the roads throughout the summer. Now, that\u2019ll give elk hunters something to think about for the rest of the summer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><figure id=\"attachment_2255\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2255\" style=\"width: 743px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2255\" title=\"Best Places to See Wildlife in the USA This Summer\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tractoptics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Elk-in-the-open-range.png\" alt=\"Best Places to See Wildlife in the USA This Summer\" width=\"743\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/05\/Elk-in-the-open-range.png 840w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/05\/Elk-in-the-open-range-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/05\/Elk-in-the-open-range-768x371.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/05\/Elk-in-the-open-range-600x290.png 600w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/05\/Elk-in-the-open-range-150x73.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2255\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Best Places to See Wildlife in the USA This Summer<\/figcaption><\/figure><p style=\"text-align: justify\">During the month of September, Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park is the place to be to see and hear elk.

A strenuous life is what he preached, and in the Dakota Territory, he was definitely able to live it.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">TR\u2019s National Park is home to the iconic American bison. Elk, deer, and pronghorn live there too. As do bighorn sheep though they\u2019re not quite as prevalent.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/blog\/the-basics-of-birding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bino-wielding birders<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> will have a great opportunity to see many of the Park\u2019s nearly 200 different species.

Sandhill cranes stopover in the summer making their way back north.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There\u2019s something special about the Midwest.

Summer is the best time to see both species as they are actively foraging for food in the forests and marshes that make up the park, especially moose.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In fact, an adult moose can eat about 50 pounds of forage <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">per day. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Throughout the summer, bull moose are growing their antlers and may eat up to 70 pounds. During this period of antler growth, a bull can add up to a pound of antler per day. So, if you want to check moose off your wildlife viewing list, Baxter State Park may be the place to do so.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019ll also find a great hiking culture at Baxter. The northernmost part of the Appalachian Trail ends at Mount Katahdin within the park.

But in our opinion, there\u2019s no place like home. Especially during the summer when on warm evenings we may see a new bird show up on its route to somewhere else.
