Visit Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks
Natural History Trip: Friday, September 11 – Sunday, September 20, 2009
Join Dr. Phil Doerr, Retired Fisheries and Wildlife Professor, for a fantastic
wildlife adventure in what many call the “American
Serengeti”. These 2 historic national reserves are the
closest approximation of wild North America outside
of Alaska. The number and diversity of large wild
vertebrates that occur here is really exciting, and Dr. Doerr hopes to share this experience with you!
Imagine 10 days afield with old and new friends, classmates
and the "old professor," just yearning for a
chance to ask questions. Dr. Doerr will share,
a lifetime learning experience with a small
group of fellow alumni and friends through two of
America’s premier national parks.
Dave Davenport (a most superb naturalist) and his
Ecoquest Travel company have trips all around the globe,
but this is one trip Dave especially enjoys leading. "My
own experience in Yellowstone dates to “the olden days”,
though I have recently pursued large wild ungulates with
bow and arrow in nearby mountains."
See these two parks in a way most don’t get to! With
Dave’s experience and insider contacts in the greater
Yellowstone this will be a memorable experience. Rutting
elk, grizzly bears, coyotes, lynx, mountain goats, whitetailed
and mule deer, bighorn sheep, pronghorn, moose,
and aspen in its resplendent fall gold are among the
potential visual and spiritual treats waiting for us. For Dr. Doerr, the recently recovered gray wolves of the greater
Yellowstone will be special, because wolves weren’t there
in the 1950s, 60’s and 70’s when he first visited the area. The
wolf has reoccupied its rightful place in the Yellowstone and
we’ll have a chance to see it all!
