It was the very end of the tourist season so the park was pretty empty. We stayed right in the cabins at the Mammoth Terraces.
It's nice to be able to stay directly in the park because you get a good opportunity to see some of the wildlife up close. We saw a lot of elk and bison - and even caught a fox in the field. On our ride out of the park, we saw 2 moose - but they were too far away for a picture.
