Wildlife, Up Close
Gardiner, Montana

Wild Pronghorn across Park Street, on the hills and in the meadow, is a thrill that few towns can boast. Listen carefully and you are apt to hear coyotes in the foothills. Even Black and Grizzly Bears will occasionally wander into town. In the winter Bald Eagles and Osprey abound on the Yellowstone River, while the Bighorn Sheep come down to graze within view. Even the more cautious and unlikely moose are seen on occasion in the canyon above town, not to mention ubiquitous Elk, Deer and Buffalo. Elk are regular residents, relaxing on Gardiner lawns during winter.
