An extra two hour drive into the park every morning? Grizzly is two blocks from the entrance, and the 12 miles to the grand loop at Madison aren't thru a tunnel. The animals don't follow a script. That's what causes the delay. Auto jams, from people stopping to see the wildlife up close and personal. Just don't get too personal. They are wild animals. One spring day, it took me 4 hours to get to the loop. A pair of Eagles feeding their new babies, a couple of elk feeding themselves, a mama fox and her kits, and the bison crossing the road each AM to feed in the meadow on the other side of the road. And they're in no hurry. One morning I saw a lady complaining to a trooper because she tried to drive thru a bison herd crossing the road, and one put a rather large dent in her car door.
Since she couldn't possibly identify the specific animal, no ticket was issued. :)
