The Best National Parks for Wildlife Spotting - by Sarah Z. Wexler, Travel + Leisure/ Travel/ SmithsonianMag.com
"Plan your national park visits around prime viewing hours.
As an 11-year-old child, Bob Howells—whose only wildlife experience at that point had been spotting chipmunks during picnics and camping trips—prepared for his first trip to a national park by reading books, appointing himself as his family's tour guide, and mentally staking out the best places to see animals.
But nothing quite prepared him for the abundant fauna he encountered at Yellowstone. At the park, Howells saw bison, red foxes, trumpeter swans, and even a mischievous black bear that passed 10 feet away from his family's station wagon.
"It blew me away," recalls Howells, who's now a wildlife aficionado (most recently, he contributed to National Geographic's The 10 Best of Everything National Parks book). "It's quite something to graduate from chipmunks to black bears."..."
