This is our 6th day in Yellowstone. We go out exploring every day. So far no Bear Jams but seems like you can't drive down the road with out encountering the Buffalo wanting to cross the road.
May visitation in Yellowstone is up 15 percent over May of 2015. Can't wait to see the numbers for June. This is the most we have seen this early in June. Lots of time there is no available parking at the attractions. Tour buses every where.
This is a Buffalo Jam crossing the Nez Perce and road.

In Estes Park we called them Elk Jams - up in Rocky Mtn NP or just anyplace in town.
Same thing - different animal.
Part of all of it.
Am digressing now...........
ORbiker sounds like the some of the bikers who feel they can go between lines of cars, moving or still, by driving up in between them - not only dangerous and inconsiderate but probably against the law. I once was going down an interstate that was backed up for an accident but the two lanes were moving maybe 20 mph. Biker roaring up between the 2 lanes and two truckers closed the gap between them so he could not get thru. He swung back and forth to let them know he wanted to go thru. They just kept it tight and we kept moving. Biker took to the median shoulder and roared past. Laws and common sense to not apply to some people - bikers or otherwise. Our town two weeks ago buried a just turned 18 year old young man who thought that laws did not apply to him.

ORbiker, where did you have to be in such a hurry that you didn't have the time to enjoy what the Parks have to offer? There should be a special place for people who drive as fast as they can to get through a Park so they can say they've "seen" the Park. "Seeing" a Park is not the same as experiencing it. We were in Yellowstone about 2 1/2 years ago in October and ran into three Bison jams in one afternoon. No one was in a hurry to get anywhere and, as far as I can tell, everyone enjoyed seeing a magnificent animal pretty close up.
Take the I's if in a hurry!
Let the rest of us enjoy the park - if you go in late October then it usually just you and the Buffalo. (and the other wildlife)
Enjoy the PARK,
Custer SP. They wouldn't move for 15 or 20 minutes. I moved to the head of the line on my Harley Bagger. The little one moved to the edge of the road and the bigger ones moved to the edges of the road facing away from the middle. I shot through the one lane gap and cracked the throttle and they all move away so the the herd of cars could go through.I had a super load air horn for back-up, plus speed.
Buffalo Jams:
I must have got the wrong idea?
Or maybe these guys who were known to jam quite well? Recognize anyone?
Neil Young, Steven Stills, Richie Furay. Later Jim Messina joined.
