Did you know the headwaters of seven great rivers are located in the park? They flow from the Continental Divide across the nation. Rain and snow in the mountains and plateaus of the Northern Rockies flow through stream and river networks to provide essential moisture to much of the American West. Together, Yellowstone’s streams and rivers support an abundance of fish and wildlife, provide numerous recreational opportunities, and offer a lifeline for downstream agricultural users and municipalities.

🐻 Bears are waking up across Grand Teton National Park!

Spring in the Tetons means grizzlies are emerging from winter dens. Adult males typically appear in March, while females with cubs arrive between April and early May.

All of the park is grizzly bear habitat. Spring offers the chance of seeing a bear in the wild—but it also comes with the responsibility of sharing this landscape. Unsecured food or garbage can quickly attract bears, and lead to dangerous habits.
Keep bears wild & people safe:

🗑️ Store garbage in bear-resistant containers

🍎 Never leave food, coolers, or backpacks unattended
🚙 Store food and scented items in bear boxes or a hard-sided vehicles
⛺ Keep a clean camp and follow food storage rules
🐾 Carry bear spray and know how and when to use it
↔️ Stay at least 100 yards from bears, including while in vehicles

Whether you live here or are visiting for the day, your actions help prevent human-bear conflicts.

Great insights and safety tips regarding bears for your up and coming trips to one of the most amazing National parks!

(News Release) On March 9, Yellowstone biologists working in the northern part of the park reported seeing the first grizzly bear of the spring season. The bear was observed in the backcountry scavenging on a bull bison carcass.

The first reported grizzly bear sighting of 2025 occurred on March 14. In 2024, it occurred on March 3, and in 2022 and 2023, March 7.

When bears emerge from hibernation, they look for food and often feed on elk and bison that died over the winter. Bears may react aggressively to encounters with people when feeding on carcasses. Male grizzlies come out of hibernation in early March. Females with cubs emerge in April and early May.

All of Yellowstone is grizzly and black bear country: from the deepest backcountry to the boardwalks and parking lots around Old Faithful. Protect yourself and bears by following our safety guidelines:
🐻Prepare for a bear encounter by carrying bear spray, knowing how to use it and making sure it’s accessible.
🐻Stay alert.
🐻Hike or ski in groups of three or more, stay on maintained trails and make noise. Avoid hiking at dusk, dawn or at night.
🐻Do not run if you encounter a bear.
🐻Stay 100 yards (91 m) away from black and grizzly bears. Approaching bears within 100 yards is prohibited. Use binoculars, a telescope or telephoto lens to get a closer look.
🐻Store food, garbage, barbecue grills and other attractants in hard-sided vehicles or bear-proof food storage boxes.
🐻Report bear sightings and encounters to a park ranger immediately.
